Democrats’ Liz Cheney Hoax Is Another Desperate Attempt To ‘Disqualify’ Trump From The White House
The Democrats’ allied press has gone all out with yet another hoax to thwart former President Donald Trump’s return as commander-in-chief just days before the election closes. Four years ago, the media was twisting Trump’s words to suggest the president was recommending Americans inject themselves with bleach. This week, they’re manipulating his remarks to suggest a top political foe be shot.
On Thursday, Trump campaigned with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in Arizona, where the two assailed the neocon warmongers now backing Vice President Kamala Harris, including ousted Rep. Liz Cheney. Here is what Trump said about the ex-Wyoming lawmaker:
She’s a radical warhawk. Let’s put her with a rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it, when the guns are trained on her face. They’re all warhawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, “Gee, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy,”
Here is what Aaron Rupar, one of the internet’s worst left-wing propagandists, would have voters think that Trump said:
She’s a radical warhawk. Let’s put her with a rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay?
CNN picked up the narrative to accuse Trump of demanding Cheney be killed.
“He’s saying quite explicitly and unambiguously that Liz Cheney should be shot, should be executed by firing squad,” said Jonah Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Dispatch and a CNN commentator. “Let’s execute a political opponent, who happens to be a woman, because I don’t like her. … Does that pull more low-propensity voters in his coalition to the polls? I honestly don’t think so.”
Any honest examination of Trump’s remarks, however, reveals nothing of the sort. Trump was obviously painting a picture of Cheney being deployed to the same war zones she routinely demanded Americans be sent to in the never-ending wars of the old Republican Party. And yet, the media went hysterical, with the usual culprit outlets like Politico and The Washington Post repeating the same lie over and over that Trump dramatically called on Cheney to be terminated. Cheney and Vice President Harris would each capitalize on the media-manufactured outrage to peddle the left’s latest hoax.
“This is how dictators destroy free nations,” Cheney wrote, two years after having run the Democrats’ Soviet-style tribunal in the House to prosecute former members of the Trump administration.
“This must be disqualifying,” Harris said Friday.
Trump, however, is no stranger to Democrats and the regime media ripping words out of context to frame the Republican nominee as a deranged madman unfit for high office. The last-minute media outrage happens to come as Trump picks up late-race momentum across the polls in the final hours before Election Day.
Whether the fabricated scandal be invented admiration for white supremacists in Charlottesville (which Snopes debunked as untrue) or a purported recommendation that Americans consume bleach as a therapeutic for Covid-19 (which even PolitiFact corrected as a false narrative), there is probably no president in modern U.S. history who has faced such blatant hostility from the press delivering serial falsehoods about his remarks.
Biden would repeat the Charlottesville and bleach lies years later in his final debate with Trump, illustrating how deep each conspiracy from the press has taken root within the Democrat Party.
“Many people were dying,” Biden said in June about Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. “All he said was ‘It’s not that serious, just inject a little bleach into your arm, you’ll be alright.’”
As PolitiFact explained, however, “Trump did not specifically recommend ingesting disinfectants.”
“Nevertheless, his remarks led some companies and state agencies to issue warnings about ingesting disinfectants,” PolitiFact noted four years ago. The note further underscores how unhinged the press’s coverage of Trump’s remarks is, given that people believe Trump said something he did not.
Just like the press today, however, the media weren’t operating in a good-faith election-year effort to report on the president’s remarks accurately; they were manipulating them to mean something he obviously did not.
