Since the Tuesday debate, the narrative pushed by the punditry class on CNN, MSNBC and the rest has been “Trump will not denounce white supremacists “. This was a narrative we witnessed unfold before the 2016 election and again in 2017.
During an odd exchange about racism and white supremacy on the first debate between Biden and Trump, the president when asked by Chris Wallace about denouncing white racists, President Trump responded “sure” two times. The exchange veers off into discussion of The Proud Boys, after Joe Biden mentions them and the president says “stand back and stand by”.
The next day, Trump clarified that he was telling The Proud Boys to not interfere with police arresting and managing ANTIA and other violent protestors. The Proud Boys have clashed with leftist rioters frequently over the past several years.
It is important to note that The Proud Boys, are a right wing group of American men who’s mission is “reinstating a spirit of Western chauvinism.” The only requirement of being a Proud Boy are that you are an American patriot and a male. They are not a white supremacy group and have several leaders who are Latino and Black.
CNN’s Sara Sidner even clarified this recently on a broadcast:
“Look, we should be really clear that the Proud Boys do not consider themselves a white supremacist group. They have members from many different ethnicities. That doesn’t mean that they have not wreaked havoc. They’re more like a political fight club, if you will, than a white supremacist group and have distanced themselves.”- CNN 9-30-2020
It was intellectually dishonest for Joe Biden to bring them up in a discussion of “white supremacy”
In Orwellian fashion, the media keeps repeating the question, even though Trump has denounced all forms of racism repeatedly.
Kayleigh McEnany , was asked the question at a press conference on Thursday. Even after the press secretary recites multiple instances of where Trump has denounced Nazis, the KKK, David Duke and all racism, the reporter literally asks the exact same question again. They are practicing the art of repeating the lie enough times, until people believe it is true.
This narrative has been pushed so heavily the last several days that JTA reported on an influx of Jews inquiring about moving to Canada and becoming citizens in fear of Donald Trump and his supposed support of White supremacy and neo-Nazis
From the JTA reported:
This year feels different, say immigration lawyers and others who work in the small industry of Jews permanently crossing borders. Much of the drive to leave has to do with the prospect of President Trump winning reelection, potentially after a chaotic post-election period in which he or others dispute the results of the vote. American Jews, lawyers and advocates say, are also chilled by a climate of rising extremism and anti-Semitism, some of it stoked or condoned by the president.
It is truly astonishing how manipulation by broadcast media can literally shape one’s own reality. The video we present, shows Trump clearly denouncing hate, yet with the constant repetition, the truth is literally not being seen any longer.
