Another day, another hoax. The mainstream media’s relentless campaign to misrepresent former President Donald Trump has reached new heights.
In a Friday appearance on CNN, so-called conservative pundit Jonah Goldberg falsely claimed that Trump suggested a firing squad execution for former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).
President Trump had criticized Cheney’s hawkish foreign policy views during an interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday, condemning her stance on “endless wars.” At no point did Trump imply or suggest any such violent intentions toward Cheney—he merely called her out for her support of prolonged conflicts.
Goldberg, however, attacked Trump with an inflammatory conclusion, saying, “I don’t think you even need to call it fire-up on. He’s saying quite explicitly and unambiguously that Liz Chenney should be shot, should be executed by a firing squad. That is appalling. It is a small facet of the reasons why he’s unfit for office, and the Republican Party has made a disastrous mistake renominating him.”
WATCH: Well well well.

After facing backlash for his inflammatory remarks, Goldberg issued a retraction on social media, admitting his error.
He wrote:
I need to make a statement.
This morning on CNN I referred to Trump’s “rifles” quote as him advocating a “firing squad” for Liz Cheney. I was reacting in haste to what were objectively appalling and irresponsible comments that had been framed in the set-up piece in the context of previous statements Trump made about shooting protestors and having generals “executed.” Still, I was wrong to say he was calling for a firing squad execution.

P
Goldberg’s TDS has given him word salad brain.
Deep State buffoon.
Too late your mom lucianne would be horrified and saddened at your venomous spew and lies! She probably would never forgive you you POS mediapuke evil stooge! The American people will never forget nor forgive you. You’re done.
Too late, Jonah. Your original words will live on forever on the internet. Your lie will be added to the other lies about Trump that the left continues to repeat.
Probably that was Goldberg’s intent anyway.
I was just going the same before I read yours. What the heck is he talking about???
going to post the same.....
The idiot Goldberg thinks he will avoid a defamation lawsuit. He won’t.
Too bad kaMAla doesn’t do the same thing, i.e., apologize. She’s out there spewing the same crap he was.
Easy libel suit?
Jonah is yesterdays’, (like my apostrophe?), news. Long Live Journalism.
Go die in a fire, Jonah.
He was called on his BS.
He’s always been an elitist that loathes working people. Dude would have benefited from working a job.
It’s very sad. Lucianne was a patriot. Jonah himself once keenly observed the “Republicans pounce” phenomenon in which the media pretended that the “real story” of any negative story about a Democrat behaving badly was not the bad behavior itself but rather Republicans’ puritanical reaction to it.
And then Trump happened... Jonah lost his mind and switched over to very side that his mother and he had always fought against.
His instincts were to trash Trump and defend Cheney, who is a backstabbing lowlife.
Goldberg and Frum better start writing about shit that people care about or their wallets are going to be a lot lighter.
Some apology!! What a jerk.
Yes. Self immolate. It’s all the rage these days. Because...you know...Democrats. smh
Retraction doesn’t get on the Networks.
That’s how it works.
