CNN censored Trump's acceptance speech, and the NeverTrump Lincoln Project used a lie to attack both Trump and his audience as racist
American Thinker ^ | 08/25/2020 | Andrea Widburg

The Democrats and their fellow travelers in the NeverTrump Lincoln Project are terrified that if Americans hear Trump without mediation, Americans will (a) like what they hear and (b) know that neither he nor his supporters are racist.  (And defamatory racism accusations are the biggest sticks with which they can beat conservatives.)

So it was that when Trump appeared in North Carolina to give his acceptance speech upon receiving the Democrat nomination, CNN cut away from the speech because of alleged "outright lies."  Then the hate-filled carpetbaggers in the Lincoln Project, a coalition made up of failed Republican campaign advisers, accused an audience member of calling Obama a "monkey" to Trump's laughing agreement.  These are the actions of ugly and desperate people.

Breitbart reported that CNN cut away from Trump's speech.  When you read the reasoning, you can see that CNN, accidentally or intentionally, confused "objective" facts with "subjective" opinions to justify saying that Trump stated "outright lies."

Monday, the GOP formally nominated President Donald Trump for reelection. As Trump delivered remarks following his nomination, "CNN Newsroom" cut away from the speech and criticized him for his "misleading" statements and "outright lies."

After cutting the interview, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper noted Trump went "negative" at the convention after promising to be "positive." He added the president "falsely" attacked mail-in voting and "falsely" accused Democrats of wanting to shut down the country to hurt the economy and thus hurt him at the ballot box.

"After vowing to have a positive convention, the president goes negative in its first moments. He started off falsely attacking mail-in voting. He's continuing attack mail-in voting and, as the postmaster general testifies that the attacks are 'unhelpful.' That's his own postmaster general," Cooper emphasized.

They are all in on mail-in voting and the post office conspiracy. I don’t see that being effective. Most people hate the postal service, and that narrative is confusing and boring. They are going to need something more than that in the next few weeks.

And CNN did this thinking that it would have an effect on the millions of Trump supporters who watch CNN? Is that what they thought?

The Lincoln Project is a Democrat front group funded by billionaires like David Geffen.

“his acceptance speech upon receiving the Democrat nomination”

Seriously, he received the Democrat nomination?? This writer needs to do a better check of his/her work. Also, it wasn’t an acceptance speech, that comes Thur night. This was a speech to get out in front of his supporters and show how he isn’t hidding in the basement like Biden.

While there is a lot of talk about the Lincoln Project-type defection from Republican to Democrat, I have a feeling the migration the other direction is a lot bigger. The DNC is now BLM - that doesn’t sit well with most folks.

You want to persuade someone. The best technique is always to insult him. It’s on page one of the Dale Carnegie book.

I think a real concern to the mail in fiasco is the possibility that the votes won’t be certified by dec 8 for the electoral college in the dem governor states like PA, maybe NC, MI etc to prevent the 270. Then the house votes and you have hater Liz Cheney, goofball in Alaska voting for Biden, you only need two more states to turn from republican to make Biden the pres.

I know it is only anecdotal but the dem callers on C-Span where mostly for trump. One guy said he switched when he saw Pelosi tear up the state of the union speech.

I saw one of their adds yesterday (they ran a LOT of Lincoln project ads yesterday) claiming that Susan Collins is a Trump toady. Anyone who pays attention knows that is not true.

CNN is a profoundly evil institution. They operate as a demonic cabal filled with lies, crime, hatred, murder, and tyranny. Their influence must be terminated absolutely.

"One guy said he switched when he saw Pelosi tear up the state of the union speech."

That's how patriots protest - at the ballot box.
