The last couple of days, the media has been in an all-out assault against Trump on two key topics.
The first is Trump’s visit to Colorado, and the second is Harris releasing her medical records, and Trump refusing to do so.
Talking Points...
- JD Vance takes down ABC News reporter
- Speaker Johnson takes down NBC News
- Analysis
This weekend, Senator JD Vance (R-OH) squared off with ABC News host Martha Raddatz regarding Donald Trump’s visit to Colorado last week. Trump went there to highlight the problem of gangs overtaking apartment building complexes. Local politicians have pushed back on this, but it was made clear that numerous complexes had been more or less taken over by one of the most brutal gangs in the world, the Tren de Aragua (TdA), a violent Venezuelan migrant gang.
Raddatz countered that local authorities had stated the problem was limited and that the gangs had “only” taken over a “handful” of complexes, at which point I thought JD Vance was going to fall out of his chair in complete and utter shock. Here is the interaction as it took place…
The media should be ashamed of itself, and Vance’s point is dead on. International criminal gangs should not be taking over apartment buildings in this country and terrorizing its residents. How anyone can think something like that is okay is beyond me. A single complex would be bad, but a handful all in the same city… to quote Joe Biden, “C’mon man!”
The ridiculousness did not stop there. When Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) appeared on “Meet the Press” this weekend, it got even more bizarre. This was all playing off the fact that Harris released her medical efforts to give the media a new narrative. Since Biden dropped out, the media is suddenly worried about Trump’s mental cognizance and health, something the media would not even touch as far as Joe Biden was concerned.
Kamala Harris has apparently given the mainstream media its walking orders, and since we have state-run media, it is a cooperative little doggie for her. To that point, host Kristen Welker is suddenly obsessed with medical records and cholesterol levels. After proudly announcing that Harris had released her medical records, Welker went off on Johnson, calling out Trump for not releasing his medical records, which Johnson called “unnecessary.” Welker shot back:
“So, it’s ‘unnecessary’? You can see that he didn’t release his medical records. You don’t want to know things like his cholesterol level? Whether he’s dealing with any issue that we may not know about?
“If he’s gonna be commander in chief?” Welker shot back. “And he also said he would release cognitive tests— ”
Johnson was literally laughing about the question, and he responded:
“Kristen, the American people don’t care about the cholesterol level of Donald Trump.
“They care about the cost of living and the fact they cannot pay for groceries because Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s policies have put them in that situation.”
I just cannot help but laugh because nobody has ever been worried about Trump’s mental or physical health, but now that Biden is out of the race, the same media that brushed aside all of Biden’s medical concerns are suddenly infatuated with the mental and physical health of Trump. Biden did not release his full medical records, just a report, and the media accepted that, but suddenly, this was not up to par.
I honestly have no idea how these so-called “journalists” can look at themselves in the mirror, having completely sold out as another wing of the Democrat Party. The media in this country is now tainted, telling only one side of the story or cherry-picking quotes or facts to push a narrative rather than telling the whole story, and I don’t excuse Fox News from this either. I don’t think we can trust a single outlet in this country to tell us the truth. Heck, I would put my reporting up against any outlet in this country in terms of telling the full story accurately so as not to deceive readers.
