Rise of the Ear Truthers
FrontPage Magazine ^ | July 16 2024 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 07/16/2024 9:18:07 PM PDT by texas booster

“Democrats must recover quickly and say: Trump has been uniquely responsible for stoking the violence that apparently grazed his ear,” The Nation’s Joan Walsh wrote.

Beyond the obvious ju-jitsu of a leftist blaming one of her targets for getting shot, there’s that ‘apparently’ in there.

Walsh had also tweeted, “Has there been any kind of news conference by Trump’s doctors? I just find this weirder every moment.”

“Is Trump’s bandage covering evidence that he wasn’t shot? Still waiting for confirmation from credible sources beyond Trump on his Truth Social that he was actually hit by a bullet rather than hit by glass or other debris,” Steven Beschloss, a professor at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, tweeted.

The rise of the Ear Truthers has been the most exciting development in lefty discourse yet with BlueAnons analyzing photos and claiming that Trump’s ear was never injured and it was a blood pack and that even if it was, it was by broken glass, not a bullet, and that doctors are staging an ear coverup.

Ear Truthers had all sorts of explanations such as the blood was put on by the Secret Service while removing Trump. They’ve argued that either the ear bled too much or too little considering the caliber of bullet and the graze.

Since sites like Daily Beast, Salon and Slate exist purely to launder the deranged fantasies of a certain clique of upper middle class perpetually online liberals, they’re flirting with the narrative already.

Mystery Over Trump’s Diagnosis and Treatment After Assassination Attempt – Daily Beast

Does any of the Ear Trutherism change anything? Obviously not. But rather than deal with the uncomfortable reality of what happened, Ear Trutherism changes the subject, nibbling away at the details, as conspiracy theories tend to do, to avoid grappling with the larger truths, in the hopes that enough nibbles, enough claims of “this doesn’t look right” can be made to add up to a denial of the truth.

Only a sitting president would be expected to have his doctors present a news conference concerning an injury.

Joan Walsh has always been a garbage DNC propagandist.

Lots of glass. Lots of debris. Dead in an instant, but not from a bullet.

When I read the title, I thought he was talking about all the discussion about the wannabe assassin's ear and whether or not he had a gauge repaired.

As for Trump's ear — if they did a cartilage graft like they did to my father, the EarTruthers will lose their minds when the ear comes out looking untouched. My father had a huge chunk taken out of the top of his ear in a cancer surgery. They did some sort of magic to it and it completely grew back like it was brand new.

Trump did this to himself so he’d have a place to hide an earpiece for his next debate with Biden, right?

Just think what level of hatred a person must have to descend to this level of stupidity. But, of course, the leftists have trained their followers to believe absolutely anything they invent about Donald Trump, so they gave up on reason in regard to him a long time ago—as well as any human decency too.

The media is comprised of 94% Democrat commentators. They were against Trump. The Deep State was against Trump. Both did everything they could to rid themselves of Trump.

And they say Trump is the problem? All you need to do is show the picture of Kathy Griffin holding Trump’s head. Put it on every billboard in the country asking a single sentence to blame for Trump’s shooting? “This is what happens when you preach hate.”

Is Joan Walsh another DEI hire? Or just a stupid person?

I can believe that there are leftists and liberals out there who pretend to believe that the shooting was a hoax. It is not that they are stupid, it is that they are inherently, organically, militantly deceptive.

They are like the lawyers in Jonathan Swift’s famous rant — they will lie when the truth would serve them better in order to keep in practice.
