CNN’s Acosta Questions if Trump Is ‘Politicizing’ Soldiers Deaths by Visiting Arlington
Breitbart ^ | 08/26/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 08/26/2024 8:58:14 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

CNN host Jim Acosta asked Monday on “Newsroom” if former President Donald Trump should be at Arlington National Cemetery to lay a wreath to mark the third anniversary of the attack on Abbey Gate.

Acosta said, “Former President Trump was at Arlington National Cemetery, where he marked the three-year anniversary of the bombing that killed 13 service members during the Afghanistan withdrawal. This is someone who, according to his own former chief of staff, said Americans who died in war are, ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’ Trump denies that, although John Kelly confirms that Trump did say that. He more recently said a civilian award is, ‘better than the Medal of Honor.’ You’re a former Army Ranger. Is he politicizing these soldiers’ deaths? Should even be at Arlington National Cemetery if he’s going to make some politics out of this?”

Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) said, “Well, I also mourn the death of those 13 service members. Every death of a service member is a tragedy. At the same time, I mourn the deaths of the over 2,400 service members who died during the 20 years we were at war. And I just look at President Biden, under whose leadership we actually ended, and made the tough decision to end our nation’s longest war. It became very clear to me years ago that this war was not winnable through military means. Sitting here today, we are honoring the death of those who died in service to our country. And at the same time, we are not at war in Afghanistan. And that was the right decision by President Biden.”

Good grief. Acosta was born in Washington, D.C.

He’s a weasel but at least do a little research.

Prove me wrong, furious.

They know they are lying and they don’t care. Those who choose to believe this nonsense know it isn’t true but they don’t care either.

I’ve had discussions with people who fervently cling to the idea that Trump didn’t sufficiently delineate between torch-carriers and “good people.” They deny the proof that the transcript shows and they deny the proof of the audio.

Hopeless cases, all.

NEVER is correct. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was with 45 all day and unequivocally said he never said that.

Added to that, they said 45 chickened out from take Marine One to the cemetery. I’m sure that the Secret Service was advised by the Air Traffic Controllers of Marine One that the ceiling was too low and dangerous to fly.

Then, 45 said he would motorcade but the French Government and their security officials could not guarantee 45’s safety.

I’m disappointed in General Kelley in his proffering hearsay.

“I met an absolutely rabid Democrat woman recently at a political booth. I asked her why she didn’t like Trump. Her answers: 1) He hates women (”grab ‘em by the ...” and raped E Jean Carroll in the dressing room) and 2) Soldiers are suckers and losers.

She confirmed my opinion of Democrats.”

In other words, she, like a typical duh-uh Democrat, believes the lies... all of the lies. The only question in my mind is.... is she a willful useful idiot... or was she brainwashed or hypnotized into believing everything the Marxists tell her. I recall something about Obama having studied a technique and I know the CIA used certain techniques to “convince” people of BS. I also know the KGB had predicted that certain techniques would work to “fundamentally transform” America and fool Americans.... via ideological subversion and/or mind control techniques.

Here are a few excerpts to ponder....

“”A disturbing interview given by a KGB defector in 1984 describes America of today and outlines four stages of mass brainwashing used by the KGB.””

“”A former KGB agent named Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov claimed in 1984 that Russia has a long-term goal of ideologically subverting the U.S. He described the process as “a great brainwashing” that has four basic stages. The first stage, he said, is called “demoralization,” which would take about 20 years to achieve.””

““What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.””

delineate between torch-carriers and “good people.”

... how long before the "torch-carriers" are all outed as FIBbers. Maybe that Tony Seruga guy can shed some light on this.

The State of Massachusetts sent that criminal pant load Teddy Kennedy back to the Senate for over 40 years after leaving a 29 year campaign worker, Mary Jo, in back of his Olds 88 to drown in a tidal pool in Chappaquiddick. Hypocrites.

Acosta living up to his reputation as the worst of the propaganda pr*cks. Funny how much more partisan and dishonest his comments were than those of the open Democrat he was interviewing.

Acosta would call Biden or Kamala patriots, if they had been the ones paying tribute to those dead Marines/soldiers.

FU*K Acosta and all like him.

As we saw, the families of the slaughtered soldiers were livid that both Harris and Biden NEVER ONCE said their names publicly. Never.

Trump did for those families what a President SHOULD have done. And they all, to a person (at least those who spoke up) appreciated it fully.

Screw the Left. Let them wallow in their filth.

That’s an old bit of dark humor that has been around a long, long time.

My father earned the Navy Cross in WWII for his valor on D Day. When I was a child, it was explained to me that this award was second only to the Congressional Medal of Honor. But my siblings assured me that we should be glad he didn’t get one of those, because he’d probably have died on the battlefield and we kids would not have been born.

Of all the transgressions leveled against Trump, “suckers and losers” is the most fantastical, the most “you’ve gotta be kidding me” of them all. It’s nonsense, right up there with him trying to commandeering the presidential limousine.

Ranger Jason Crowe is a coward. On January 6 instead of walking out and greeting the protesters and engaging in conversation, he fled to the balcony and crouched like he was under artillery fire.

Google photos of Jason Crowe and J6.
