Nolte: Fascist New Republic Demands Town Hall Ban After Donald Trump’s CNN Triumph
Breitbart ^ | 15 May 2023 | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 05/15/2023 2:01:47 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

The far-left New Republic is openly calling for a ban on media town halls after former President Donald Trump’s CNN triumph last week.

Here is what these elite smugs think of the common man. You are going to think I made the below up. I did not…

“The problem with overly lionizing the voice of the common voter is that average citizens often ask questions in open-ended fashion like, ‘What are your views on education?’”

Hahahahaha… Yeah, who wants to know stuff like that?

The New Republic pretends not to understand why people representative of everyday voters are the best to question candidates. The way these censors see it, it is better to have a bunch of out-of-touch Woke Nazis who call themselves journalists ask questions — questions that are never questions but tripwires designed to give the Democrat opposition talking points, ammunition, and campaign commercials.

The New Republic does not even hide the fact that it wants the common man silenced because Trump looked good last week. But make no mistake; these fascists would say the same if any Republican did that well during a televised town hall.

More:

But in an era of accelerating hyperpartisanship and vicious attacks on the news media, allowing a peanut gallery at such events only indulges our worst tribal instincts. That’s why the networks—broadcast and cable alike—should conduct their candidate interviews and debates in TV studios rather than trucking in disruptive crowds.

Get it? We are just a bunch of children, a “peanut gallery,” a bunch of “tribal” savages for expressing our support for what a candidate believes and our disgust with stupid gotcha questions from the likes of a mental midget like CNN’s Kaitlan “Nurse Ratched” Collins.

Get a load of this, “[I]t was CNN’s decision that none of the questioners came from the ranks of never-Trump

Good for Nolte, equating all forms of leftism with each other as it should be.

Last I heard from the left, “peanut gallery” was a racist term.

This is what really bothers them. If the room was filled with Trump hating bomb throwers this article would never have been written. Disingenuous little weasels

The New Republic should be renamed The Old Dictatorship. They make the New York Times look conservative.

...none of the questioners came from the ranks of never-Trump...

Is there a test for that? Pee in a cup? Good to know Big Media audiences can be hand-picked.

The New Republic was started by a bunch of “Progressives” around the turn of the century (19th century!), in other words communists.

Whenever the word “ban” is used it means fear.

Townhall wants Trump to hide in his basement until after the 2024 election to give Slow Joe a chance.

The New Republic would have more respect if they re-hired Stephen Glass.

Trump loves when “never Trumpers” interview him. He throws their nonsense right back in their faces.

Communism has become fashionable.

That old rotten potato has been reheated 50 different ways, with social justice, environmental justice, feminism, health care, in education, LGBTQIA, quota’s for minority hiring, living wages, universal income, rent control, public transit, massive food stamp programs, free school lunch programs...

There is always some new facade, a new label/slogan and flag which gets put on this old rotten tuber.

There is no denying it though. While not using the label “communist” many people today essentially embrace what this social/economic theory and even pseudo religion (Ersatzreligion) instructs.

It is seen everywhere, many folks embrace it whole heartedly and think themselves better for it, without even realizing what they are: communists.
