Media Blames Trump and His Supporters

The apparatchiks comprising the Democratic Party–mainstream media axis of evil have never been more arrogant than following the assassination attempt on Trump they went out of their way to inspire. Their astonishing response has been to blame Trump and his supporters for allegedly inflammatory rhetoric.

Former Clintonista George Stephanopoulos discards whatever might be left of the media’s credibility:

ABC host George Stephanopoulos said Sunday on “This Week” that Donald Trump and his supporters have contributed to “violent rhetoric” while discussing yesterday’s assassination attempt on the former president.

Predictably, his cohost Martha Raddatz agreed:

“Absolutely, George. We were just looking back this morning at some of the things that former President Trump has said.”

Just as predictably, she fell back on the minor fracas of 1/6/21, the closest thing left to a card they have to play:

“And let’s remember January 6th. In so many ways, for the campaign, January 6th will probably be in the background after yesterday’s event.”

Rather it will be in the foreground, no matter how irrelevant, for those who reside inside the liberal propaganda bubble.

Former Obama Communications Director and Biden Press Secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki is on the same page:

“One thing for all of us to remember is it may not feel paused tomorrow or Tuesday. And part of that is because the [Republican] convention is starting and unless the programming changes, the rhetoric and how the programming is set up is not actually calming the tone or restoring civility.”

Being a moonbat, Psaki reflexively portrays herself as the victim:

“For anyone out there who has a platform who thinks the moment right now is to be political and attack the other party — you are feeding into the danger. You are making it more likely there’s retaliation. I’m incredibly scared. I’m scared for journalists.”

You would think someone had just shot her ear off.

Meanwhile, Democrats are sweeping their own rhetoric under the rug:

Biden is “pausing all outbound communications and working to pull down our television ads as quickly as possible,” a campaign official told The Wall Street Journal on Sunday morning.

The ads would have likely labeled Trump as an existential threat ahead of the 2024 election.

Hyperbolic Democrat rhetoric is likely to have inspired the assassination attempt — which is precisely why Stephanopoulos, Psaki, et al. are accusing conservatives of dangerous rhetoric.

This rhetoric often conflates Trump with dictators, including Adolf Hitler, and suggests he would end “Democracy” if elected.

Just on Friday, Biden appeared at a campaign rally in Michigan, where he labeled Trump a “threat to this nation.”

Democrats are counting on the public to forget everything they said prior to Saturday afternoon. But some remember that Oceania has not always been at war with Eastasia:
