Trump calls for Fox News journalist to be fired for report on war dead scandal
The Guardian ^ | 6/9/20

Posted on 09/05/2020 4:59:53 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

The row over Donald Trump’s alleged remarks denigrating American soldiers has now seen the US president target one of his core areas of support as he called for a Fox News journalist who reported details of the scandal to be fired.

The Atlantic magazine published a story that described how Trump said he cancelled a visit to pay respects at an American military cemetery outside Paris in 2018 because he thought the dead soldiers were “losers” and “suckers”. Other outlets confirmed the news and detailed more incidents of Trump’s insulting attitude to American soldiers.

'He is a coward': Trump condemned for reportedly calling US war dead ‘suckers’ Read more Among those was the Fox News national security correspondent, Jennifer Griffin, who confirmed in a Twitter thread that Trump called soldiers “suckers”, had questioned why anyone would want to become a soldier and had not wanted to honor war dead at the Aisne-Marne cemetery in France.

Do you have her confused with Catherine Herridge who did such a great job reporting on the Russia Collusion hoax?

Yikes. You are of course correct. Very embarrassing. But thanks anyway for pointing out the error.

OTOH, Fox has worse reporters than Jennifer Griffin. But she is no Catherine Herridge.

I need more sleep.

The DemonKKKrats are testing their ability to lie and have it stink up the Trump campaign for weeks. Looks like it is working. The GOP is sitting on their thumbs with this one.

“...has now seen the US president target one of his core areas of support...”

I call BS. FOX is NO fan of President Trump.

Give ‘em Hell, President Trump! We’ve got your back! :)

You have just nailed the tactic being used with anonymous sources. We saw that used when they had Eric Ciaramella hide behind the whistle blower protection to throw Trump into the impeachment rat hole. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ciaramella, Adam Schiff and Alexander Vindman are involved.

You are 100% correct. FNC channel turns the daylight TV hours over to the liberal scum and vermin on their staff. The good news is very few people tune in during those hours. Fox News Corporation has fully joined the “DARK SIDE”

A grand opportunity exists for a 100% conservative pro Trump station to seixe the moment and then soon own all of Cable news.

As for the Trump charges...they are all hogwash. As for Traitor/Turncoat, dead John McCain, when he passed on, he was and still is hated by the majority of the American people. Very few people lined the roadways as his contaminated coffin rolled by. John McCain was nothing but an evil, hateful, human being. Get real FNC!!!

She did lose hair during cancer treatments. Hair does grow back within ten years, though.

Jenny trying to do what Meagan ‘Kelly’ and Bret Bowher could not accomplish in 2016... Amazing that a person would throw their life's work out on the public ... Jenny is now a has been ... Giving the Marxist Atlantic wordsmiths credibility will not fly, or float. Jenny how dumb can you really be...

Had President Trump utter any of what they are accusing him it would have been included in their mock impeachment ... hear that Kelly(s)?

She claims on Saturday Cavuto that she did NOT confirm the “salacios” parts, you know, the part where President Trump allegedly insulted the military, which he would NEVER DO.

If she couldn’t confirm THAT, she could confirm nothing.

I can’t believe Griffen was so sloppy, but then she went on the Cavuto show, which makes her worse than sloppy.

This "story" is exactly that...a story, as in telling my three year old not to story to me when I know she is lying.

Made-up completely by the Atlantic from "anonymous" sources. And then confirmed by other outlets from "anonymous" sources.

This is media-speak for fake, fake, fake news.

This is this election cycle's October surprise, stretched out over two months, in a drip, drip, drip fashion.

Expect much more of this from Leftist media outlets over the new two months in the run up to the election. Constant barrage of negative stories about Trump.

Must find OAN.

Justice Jeanine and her guests (forget his name) did a good job of debunking this outrageous lie.

Jeanine is tops! At least Fox still has her.
