Senator Duckworth and Most of the Press Are Lying about Trump’s Speech

National Review  "Senator Tammy Duckworth says that, during his address at Mount Rushmore on Friday, President Trump “spent all his time talking about dead traitors.”
"This is a flat-out lie. It is entirely untrue. It is invented from whole cloth. You can read the speech here and see for yourself.
"One doesn’t have to like President Trump — or to have enjoyed his speech — in order to acknowledge that Duckworth is lying. One needs only to read what was said.

. . . Bash listens to Duckworth uncritically


"Trump did mention statues, but the names he mentions in connection are “George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, abolitionists, and many others,” as well as “Andrew Jackson.” In addition, he mentions the other two men on Mount Rushmore — Thomas Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt — and, in a variety of contexts, name-checks the “Reverend Martin Luther King,” “Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill Cody,” “the Wright brothers, the Tuskegee airmen, Harriet Tubman, Clara Barton, Jesse Owens, George Patton, General George Patton, the great Louis Armstrong, Alan Shepard, Elvis Presley, and Muhammad Ali,” Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Irving Berlin, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Bob Hope.
"None of these people were “traitors” — not one — which may go some way to explaining why The Hill approvingly quotes Senator Duckworth’s lie, and cites a CNN tweet that claims that Trump “defended Confederate monuments” but provides only this as evidence:
"If the truth matters, it matters all the time, including when reporting on Donald Trump. That Trump lies himself does not change this. That Trump is often incoherent does not change this. That Trump has said some awful things over the past five years does not change this. This was not a speech about Confederate monuments, it was not a speech about traitors, and it was not a speech that equivocated on the question of racial equality. Senator Duckworth is lying, and the press is helping her do it. Do they think we’re incapable of reading?". . .

‘This Editorial Is Simply Insane’: Brit Hume Rips WaPo Completely Lying About Trump Speech, Claiming It ‘Plumbed New Depths Of Depravity’

Weasel Zippers  "They moved on from spinning to just straight up lying, assuming most will not listen to the actual speech."
"Via Twitchy:"
. . . "Four — count ’em, four — other Washington Post reporters covered Trump’s “dark” speech in which he exploited social divisions and warned of “left-wing cultural revolution.”
"And that’s what bothered them so much. He didn’t overlook the anarchist takeover of Seattle’s Capitol Hill or the violence of Antifa or the Marxist infiltration of Black Lives Matter. Instead, he shined a spotlight on it as a warning to everyday Americans. And the press couldn’t stand it.
"Now the entire editorial board of the Washington Post has come together to publish an unsigned opinion piece on the speech, saying Trump “plumbed new depths of depravity.” . . .
Brit Hume@brithumeThis editorial is simply insane. Yes, he criticized the violent rioters and radicals rampaging in the streets. But his speech was mostly a full-throated defense of America’s history and heroes, and cited not a confederate among them.

Meghan's Prince Harry wants you to apologize for the sins of his ancestors
So now we have the sorry specter of Prince Harry wanting to go on an apology tour for his own ancestors, except that you're the one who's going to apologize, while still living off the fat of the British royal family. Somehow, we've got the makings of a hypocrite, no doubt driven by the wokester impulses of his hideous wife Meghan.
I’m Okay, You’re White ...[Shelby] "Steele clarified his overview in a 2006 interview with NPR, saying: “One of the most remarkable things in all of human history is the degree of moral evolutions that white Americans have made from the mid-60s to this day. No group of people in history have morally evolved away from a social evil that quickly and to that degree in this sort of short span of time. And very often, in our calculations in thinking about race, we don't give whites credit for that.” Steele added: “We keep wanting to sort of keep them on the hook as racist. But the fact is that whites see racism as a disgrace and something that they would do almost anything not to be identified with.“ . . .

We Can't Have ‘NATIONAL DIALOGUES’ If People Get FIRED For Talking Honestly

Socio-Political-Journal...


“ 'While we write and print millions of words about race in America, why is it still so hard to have a truly respectful, decent, and humble dialogue about perhaps the most complicated and contentious issue in American life?” asks David French in his Dispatch article “American Racism: We’ve Got So Very Far to Go.” Yet he does not mention in his story of personal change the elephant in the room: the Black Lives Matter movement’s radical cultural hegemony.

"Establishment Republicans made the same mistake by ignoring the movement’s radical premise: that at its core, America is rotten and systemically racist, and thus woke Americans must rebuild and reimagine the country from the ground up.
"Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney marched with the Black Lives Matter movement, and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley tweeted, “It’s important to understand that the death of George Floyd was personal and painful for many. In order to heal, it needs to be personal and painful for everyone.”
"Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell admirably tweeted, “Our republic can survive a pandemic. It can survive civil unrest. But ideas and deliberation are our foundation. America cannot be America if civil disagreement becomes a contradiction in terms. Anti-speech silencing tactics are a cancer in a free and open society.” But aside from McConnell and Sen. Josh Hawley, few Republican leaders denounced BLM’s central claim.
"Maybe many Americans are willing to have a productive conversation about race. Maybe they want to respectfully question the merits of workplace diversity training programs, for example. But the risk in participating far outweighs any reward.

Fox News' Tucker Carlson Hurls a Question That Democrats Could Never Answer Honestly

 Matt Vespa


"There’s a reason why the Left hates Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. He sees right through their arguments and expertly dissects their nonsense within seconds. He effortlessly pushes aside their arguments because much of it is grounded in absolute nonsense. He had a fiery commentary segment during last night’s episode where he pitched a question to Democrats that they could never answer honestly. This is partially due to the fact that they know the answer would be unpalatable to about 90 percent of the electorate. Then again, they may not even understand the question because that’s how dense the Left has become in their Acela Corridor bubbles."

“Can you really lead a country that you hate?” . .  .

. . . "President Trump’s Mount Rushmore speech also exposed the Left’s unbridled hatred of this country. Independence Day was usually a non-partisan affair. It’s our nation’s birthday, but if you celebrate it now—you’re a white supremacist. We also got lectured about how the monument has slaveholders on it. Yes, the Founding Fathers are canceled. We got history lessons about how this land was seized from Native Americans. Sorry, I will not be lectured to about American history by the historically illiterate. The Left has no grasp of history. Did we mention hat Frederick Douglass’ statues are being targeted now?
     "In short, the media had an issue with Trump’s speech because he celebrated America, espoused the principles that MLK, Jr., and Douglass advocated for their entire lives regarding liberty and equality, and called out the Left for what they are: an unhinged mob that’s seeking to destroy this country from within. We all see through their games, folks. Carlson noted the paradox here with these left-wing clowns. They want to control America, but also hate it (via Fox News):" . . .

Tucker Carlson: Why Left Is Lying And Spinning Trump Speech And Where They’re Trying To Take Us

Who would vote for a candidate supporting this?  The Mob Comes for America  . . . "The statue, two blocks away from where I once lived, is a celebration of emancipation, paid for by freed slaves after the war and commemorated by Frederick Douglass. But protesters, led by a Harvard University junior and steeped in Ivy League revisionism, decided the statue promotes white supremacy. This week, college students called for another Lincoln statue to come down.
