WH fires back at journalists who call Biden speech 'political,' uses media's own reporting against them
Fox News ^ | 9/2/2022 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

Posted on 09/02/2022 6:41:51 AM PDT by AT7Saluki

White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates swiftly rejected their criticisms and fired back by using articles from their respective outlets against them.

"It's no more ‘political’ than this accurate and timely reporting from CNN," Bates told Zeleny before sharing CNN headlines like "Jake Tapper breaks down GOP threats to democracy" and "An Arizona Trump rally and voting rights march underscore the fight for democracy."

Bates lifted three Reuters headlines in response to Mason; "Reuters unmasks Trump supporters who terrified U.S. election officials," "Campaign of Fear: The Trump world’s assault on U.S. election workers" and "World shocked by Trump supporters' attack on U.S. democracy."

Funny how Biden can use the fake media in defense of his comments.

saw this on social media of the US Marine Corps Band (The President's Own).

"With all due respect, I am trying to understand why the Marine Corps Band appeared at a partisan political speech tonight, just after the sitting President announced his intention to run for a second term. I feel sorry for any Marine Band musicians who may have voted for President Trump in 2020 to be belittled, to their faces, by their Commander in Chief and be described in essence as enemies of the state. There needs to be a firewall, rule, or code for the Marines not to be used as props for any political campaign event. The two Marines at attention behind the President may have also voted for Trump and may have served under President Trump as their Commander in Chief. Marines follow orders regardless of politics, but this was a pure partisan, divisive attack on at least 74 million Americans who voted for President Trump and the Marines were portrayed as being supportive of this partisan divisiveness. Please stay out of politics."

And this partisan hack probably believes it.

CNN is always all political. So are the Biden Regime Nazis.

Just following the template:

Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

"A good tactic is one your people enjoy."

"Keep the pressure on."

"The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. "

"The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."

"If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."

"The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."

"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. "

It's an IQ test, after all, and the shape of things to come as they've framed them.

So be it.

As the Fascism tightens, you will see more and more objections to even the SLIGHTEST deviation from the Junta Regime’s propaganda.

See how it’s done? By afternoon the mediapukes will change their tune and change the subject! Seems like this was a disaster of a speech. If they do not lose both chambers and get Palin in Alaska in November these country is truly truly done. I believe God is throwing us one more life line…If we don’t win that’s it Stick a fork in her she’s done!

Yeah, I wanted up PANNED, up close view of the Marine Band. I wonder to get in the band now if you have to identify in a rainbow color, or if you have to be non binary. Used to be, they only let the BEST play music in this band. Probably a lot of Drag Queens and BLM types.

Apparently, the Marine Corps got rid of their tanks because they don’t need tanks to massacre MAGA American women and little kids...

No. The White House is putting the media in its place. The Politboro has spoken and Pravda needs to line up behind it.

In another day or two, the drumbeat of MAGA=threat will increase

Keilar was absolutely correct. I’m convinced there isn’t a working brain in the WH. Bates is so far off the subject - do any of them have any education or reasoning power at all?
Spout/spiel key words like “democracy” all day long and they think their own supporters understand what that means?

“”CNN anchor Brianna Keilar similarly knocked Biden’s “political” speech, specifically how flanking two Marines “flies in the face” of having an apolitical military.
Bates’ colleague, White House deputy press secretary Chris Meagher, replied to Keilar, “Democracy is not a partisan or political issue.””

American voters.....you do know the real Fascism rests in the heart, soul and twisted mind of Fake, Criminal, Democrat, POTUS, Joe Biden & his Democrat Party!!!

There is, IMHO, an easy way to derail the Biden “Hate” Train overnight, so to speak,, without resorting to Terror, Rioting, Property Damage, Personal Injury, etc.

How, How You all ask??? Simple just turnout 100,000 to 1,000,000 Trump supporters at the Trump massive political Rally being hosted by Trump Tomorrow,Saturday Evening in Wilkes-Barre, PA!!!

What the twisted Biden did last evening in his mouthing off hate, is exactly what Hitler & Mussolini did in the 1930s....period!!! Wake up American Voters!!! Just show up in massive numbers to support Trump & company!!! Pennsylvania and surrounding states, show up, support Trump by the millions and get Biden to resign peacefully!!! Case Closed!!!
