Here’s A List Of Every Garbage Journalist Who Lied About Trump’s Liz Cheney Chickenhawk Comments

0

Democrats’ propaganda press is completely lying about comments Trump made about neocon and former Rep. Liz Cheney in an interview with Tucker Carlson.

Trump called Cheney a “radical war hawk” and pointed out how easy it is to make decisions about the lives of American troops when you are sitting in a cozy, insulated office and have no sense of how it feels on the field of battle to face the life and death consequences of decisions made in Washington.

“Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face,” Trump said. “You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington, in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, well, let’s send — let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’”

Anyone with a basic grasp of English and a bit of context understands what Trump was conveying. But you don’t have to imagine how brazenly the lying dog-faced pony-soldier media massaged that sentiment — that we should be careful with the precious lives of our troops — into something sinister.

“He’s saying quite explicitly and unambiguously that Liz Cheney should be shot, should be executed by firing squad,” Jonah Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, said in a CNN interview. “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.”  

Goldberg later wrote on X that he was “wrong” — while being sure to further denigrate Trump and Trump’s defenders, adding, “[I]t’s worth noting that a lot of the criticism about my inaccuracy is itself somewhat inaccurate, or at least incomplete, given my correction.”

Oh, boohoo. Goldberg may have been the worst offender, but he was hardly the only one.

CNN anchor Kasie Hunt said Trump is “escalating his violent rhetoric, suggesting one of his most prominent critics, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, should be fired upon.” The network’s homepage blared, “Trump rages that ‘war hawk’ Liz Cheney should be fired upon.”

Here’s another fake news headline from CNN’s Eric Bradner: “Trump says ‘war hawk’ Liz Cheney should be fired upon in escalation of violent rhetoric against his opponents.”

CNN’s Jim Acosta said Trump’s comment “obviously evokes images of a firing squad. It evokes images of an execution” during a segment with the chyron: “Trump: Liz Cheney Should Be Shot With ‘Guns Trained On Her Face.’” With a different panel, Acosta’s lies got more fantastical: “So Donald Trump talking about executing Liz Cheney — and let’s just be clear, when you talk about nine barrels, I’m sorry, for all the folks out there who want to dance on the head of a pin, that is what he is talking about, an execution fantasy.”

Politico’s Andrew Howard went with this for his headline: “Suggesting ‘nine barrels shooting’ at Cheney, Trump reverts to violent rhetoric.”

After airing just part of the soundbite on MSNBC Friday morning, network host and Politico bureau chief Jonathan Lemire called Trump’s comments “dangerous” and said Trump’s Cheney critiques employed “violent war imagery.”

When CNN’s Kate Sullivan dishonestly posted a partial, noncontextualized clip of Trump’s comments on X, The Washington Post’s Aaron Blake piled on to lie: “Republicans have spent >2 weeks assuring that Trump wasn’t talking about using violence against his political opponents. Now he paints just such a scene.”

“Trump draws outrage after saying Cheney should have guns ‘trained on her face,’” lied Reuters propagandists Andy Sullivan and Susan Heavey.

Rather than fighting against the lying corporate media, National Review’s Jim Geraghty shared the aforementioned Reuters article on X, disparaging Trump and his supporters by writing, “If Trump loses _again_, the GOP is done with him, right? We’re not gonna waste the 2028 cycle on another round with Captain-Says-Stupid-S***, right?”

“Trump gonna call for Liz Cheney to face a firing squad,” Politico Senior Political Columnist Jonathan Martin wrote on X, adding, “And, man, if you think Donald Trump’s actual beef w Liz Cheney is her foreign policy, you’re clearly not tired of rationalizing!”

“Trump Fantasizes About Guns Pointed at Liz Cheney’s Face,” read the headline from Nikki McCann Ramirez, a “politics reporter” for Rolling Stone.

Her article was tagged with the category “Deranged.” How fitting. That’s how you could describe all of this unhinged propaganda.
