Federalist CEO Sean Davis provided a master-class performance on how to deal with America’s regime-approved media on Monday while responding to a disingenuous inquiry from a Washington Post “journalist.”
“A Washington Post reporter had a temper tantrum about this tweet and demanded I ‘clarify’ a tweet with a single factual sentence and a question,” Davis wrote on X.
The reporter’s inquiry centered on a tweet Davis posted on Sunday, in which he observed that “Biden didn’t drop out of the race until after the attempts to imprison and assassinate Donald Trump failed.” The post was made shortly after a letter announcing Joe Biden will not seek reelection was posted to the president’s personal X account.
“Do you think that is coincidence?” Davis asked.
In her smug request for comment, Washington Post reporter Mariana Alfaro asked The Federalist CEO to “clarify” his tweet and “let [her] know” if he believes “Biden’s announcement is connected to the assassination attempt.”
Rather than accept Alfaro’s deceitful premise, Davis noted how the Post reporter recently pushed false claims Biden issued in his White House speech on the Trump assassination attempt. In her July 14 X post, Alfaro quoted Biden, who untruthfully asserted Trump “already receives a heightened level of security” and that as president, he’s “been consistent in [his] direction to the Secret Service to provide [Trump] with every resource, capability, and protective measure necessary to ensure his continued safety.”
Davis first reported hours after the attempt on Trump’s life that the former president’s security detail had “been asking for beefed up protection and resources for weeks, but [was] rebuffed time and again by Biden’s DHS.” Secret Service Spokesman Anthony Guglielmi initially denied these allegations but admitted to The Washington Post this past weekend that the agency did, in fact, refuse requests by Trump’s team for additional security personnel.
Pulling no punches in his response, Davis flipped the script on Alfaro and demanded she answer for her outlet’s history of promoting extreme left-wing conspiracy theories.
“I was wondering if you could clarify why you chose to spread such obvious lies and propaganda — do you believe it is your job to publish lies, falsehoods, and regime propaganda like the Russia collusion hoax, or the Kavanaugh hoax, or the Ukraine impeachment hoax, or the COVID natural origin hoax, or the Biden-isn’t-senile-at-all-oh-wait-we-need-to-get-rid-of-him-because-he’s-going-to-get-crushed-in-November hoax?” Davis wrote. “Let me know.”
