When Truth Trumps Lies: MSNBC Host Says Trump 'Promised American Carnage' – He Promised the Opposite

 Mike Miller – RedState   "As the Democrat Party and its quasi-official state media continue to melt into puddles of histrionic goo because of the stark reality that Donald J. Trump might very well again be elected president of the United States in November, articles about their hysterics get more and more fun to write. 

"This is one of those articles.

"MSNBC's "This Weekend" co-anchor Symone Sanders-Townsend (who was also Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) 2016 national press secretary), declared on Saturday's episode of the hopelessly biased show that Trump "promised carnage" in his January 2017 Inauguration Day address.

"Just one problem.

"Sanders-Townsend either blatantly lied or had zero idea what she was talking about. Trump not only didn't "promise carnage" — he promised the exact opposite, which we'll get to in a bit.

"I suspect the truth was a bit of both. Sanders-Townsend had zero idea what she was talking about, other than the word "carnage," and she ran with it. Given her probable hatred of Trump, perhaps she assumed he said what she said he said." . . .

. . .Nonsense. Here's what Trump actually said on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2017 (emphasis, mine):

Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves. These are just and reasonable demands of righteous people and a righteous public, but for too many of our citizens a different reality exists. 

Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities, rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation, [and] an education system flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge, and the crime, and the gangs, and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential. 

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now. . . .
