There is blood on David French’s hands. This guy has written as many anti-Trump columns as anyone at National Review. I’m glad he’s saying the right thing now, but he in part made it “ok” to hate The Donald.
I am pleasantly surprised that at a National Review article would be so fair Trump.
This morning I heard the most dishonest ABC radio news blurb that I think I’ve ever heard, which is saying something. It was so slanted I couldn’t believe it. They shamelessly worded it to make Trump supporters sound like the violent ones, They even said Trump “riled up the crowd”. Talk about a loaded phrase, “riled up”. Anyone who hadn’t heard other reporting would have come away with a completely inverted understanding of happened.
So why is another NR writer blaming Trump supporters?
The word “protest” doesn’t even seem quite accurate to describe what’s going on. These aren’t attempts to oppose a particular policy or advance a particular idea; these incidents are intended to intimidate Trump and his supporters, and to shut down free speech through threats of physical violence.
They ain’t whitewashing it - they are at this very moment having sessions to find creative ways to make it Trump’s doing...
