NYT reporter sparks outcry with tweets suggesting that Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol should be labeled 'enemies of the state'

A New York Times reporter is facing backlash on social media after she posted a string of now-deleted tweets suggesting supporters of former president Donald Trump should be considered 'enemies of the state'.

Katie Benner, the Justice Department reporter at the Times, took to social media Tuesday amid the first hearing of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.

In her tweets, Benner argued that the committee 'underscores' what she said are 'legitimate national security threats' and cast doubt that the committee, which was appointed by Nancy Pelosi, would find a solution.

Ah, Ms Benner is looking for a final solution to the problem. Hmm...where have we heard that before?

I would be proud to be considered an enemy of Biden's State. A Friend of Biden's State is a Friend and servant of Satan and an enemy of God. Before this shit is over, the Left will be coming after Trump supporters with fangs bared and foaming mouths. The beat of the music slowly increases until it reaches a crescendo.

looks like the MSM gets to dust off all the articles they wrote back in Jan that their editors tossed for fresher meat. None of them about the role of Pelosi and Bowser, or about cutting Trump’s comm lines, tho.

Quite the opposite.

Well I have been calling NYT, CNN, MSNBC, WAPO etc “enemies of the state” for ages, which is exactly what they are.
To an enemy of the state like NYT, every patriot is an enemy of the state.

Proud to be an enemy of their Stalinazi/Soros Orwellian Red China puppet totalitarian state and their Pedophile-in-Cheat.

The NYT is the enemy of the people, a propaganda organ of the state, and staffed by the masters of the lie...

Communists never run out of enemies of the state. So many to send to the gulag, so little time.

Hello? If Trump had called for an uprising against the United States, why did nearly all the 900,000 attendants at the rally on the Mall stay outside, demonstrating patriotically and peacefully as he told them to.

And if disrupting House or Senate deliberations makes one an enemy of the state, why weren’t the disruptive demonstrators in the Senate Chamber during Kavanaugh’s confirmation arrested and charged?

Get over yourselves, you egotistical sh!ts. You got a booboo on your finger and you want to be rushed to the ER. A couple dozen civilians and about 45 police officers were killed and countless others seriously hurt during the George Floyd mostly peaceful riots, and Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo were joking about it! ESAD.

I think that the usurped state is the enemy of the people.

"Katie Benner" seems to know a lot on the subject of "enemies of the State". She should learn about Enemies of the Constitution.

Remembering operation mocking bird and that the legacy media is a Criminals In Action operation...

Their propose is program us what you think and how to think.
It’s propaganda.

Ten stages of genocide (six minute video) shows the plan.
Wake up sleepers!

Just because someone is dressed as a Trump supporter doesn’t mean they ARE a Trump supporter.

(just ask any of the Antifa thugs who were at the Capitol on the 6th)
