Did the Bullet Dent the Media's Big Lies?

No sooner had Donald Trump — miraculously — escaped an assassin’s bullet then the Dem media began to spin. As always the subtext was, “Believe us, not your lying eyes.”

Trump was shot at 6:11 p.m. At 7:34 p.m., not quite 90 minutes later, the first memo went out. Dmitri Mehlhorn, top political advisor to Democrat mega-donor Reid Hoffman, sent an email to various journalists suggesting that the attack was staged, by Trump, to engender sympathy and “get the photos and benefit from the backlash.”

“This is a classic Russian tactic, such as when Putin killed 300 civilians in 1999 and blamed it on terrorists to ride the backlash to winning power. Others who have embraced this tactic of committing raw evil and then benefiting from the backlash include Hamas on October 7. If any Trump officials encouraged or knew of this attack, that is morally horrific, and Republicans of decency must demand that Trump step down as unfit.”

The next day, as Christians prayed for Trump and for the nation in churches, Dems spread hate. Later, Hoffman and Mehlhorn withdrew their speculation, saying all violence is bad. But the media call of the day was already out in the zeitgeist.

All over Social Media, Democrats were lamenting the fact that the shooter missed Trump’s head. Chaya Raichik, founder of LibsOfTikTok, reports that her exposés have led to ten of them being fired, so far. Raichik’s method is to read TikTok, and see what some liberals are posting. You can read some of their rantings here.

I suppose that leftwing venom must have been what prompted NBC network officials to cancel its Morning Joe program on Monday, where rabid liberal Joe Scarborough and wife Mika Brzezinzki regularly ridicule Trump. An NBC executive apparently feared an “inappropriate comment on live television that could be used to assail the program and network as a whole.” Today the duo threatened to quit if the show is cancelled again. Gosh I hope so. This is reminiscent of all those celebrities who threatened to leave the country if Trump was elected in 2016. Alas, they’re still here.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid, ever reliable for tasteless commentary, argued that Trump “is the greatest purveyor of political violence since George Wallace” and that the media shouldn’t allow him to play the victim card, to rewrite his persona. But Trump is not only the victim of a madman with a rifle, he is also the victim of a smear campaign by the media that lied at every turn — calling him a racist, a homophobe, an anti-Semite.

Listen to Amber Rose, a rapper and model, as she addressed the RNC convention.

“That was probably the most dangerous speech for the Democratic coalition,” CNN commentator Van Jones said. “That is a young woman of color. She is describing the experience that a lot of people have — feeling that maybe, if you’re around too many liberals, you might get criticized too much or you might not be able to speak your mind, and she spoke to it really well. And she’s way more famous than any of us up here — I’m going to tell you that — way more famous. And so to the extent that these guys are trying to bust up our coalition, that was a bunker buster right there.”

And that is the real media fear, that the attempt on his life will soften Trump, make him more appealing to more people. In some quarters, that appears to be happening.

One black comedian, Karli Bonne’, proclaimed that Trump “is officially black now….They shot him…Is he my uncle?” In more colorful language than I dare repeat here, he said he had not planned to vote, but will now. You can watch here.

There are serious questions about the attack yet to be answered, ones that engender suspicions. Why did the Secret Service leave was the building where the assassin positioned himself unprotected? When dozens of Trump supporters pointed out the rifle on the roof, why didn’t Secret Service suggest Trump delay his arrival on the stage until the site was locked down? Why were female Secret Service agents shorter than Trump assigned to surround him, leaving his torso exposed to a potential second shooter? In short, was this an inside job, where the Deep State was trying to kill him?

We will never get answers from the media, or the government. But if we elect Donald Trump, we might get them from a new White House. Just a thought.
