Trump’s Churchillian Moment: How the Near Miss Assassination Hit the Mark with Press and Pundits, by Jonathan Turley

When you’re as deranged as many on the left, murder is embraced if the politics are right. From Jonathan Turley at jonathanturley.org:

Winston Churchill once famously said that “nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.”

For Donald Trump, the failed assassination attempt in Pennsylvania could prove politically exhilarating. After rising with a fist pump and a call to fight on, Trump seems to have gone from being a movement to a mythological figure with his supporters.  All he needs now is a big blue ox named Babe to return to the campaign trail.

This assassination attempt should also concentrate the minds of everyone on the escalating rhetoric in this campaign, particularly the media in maintaining inflammatory narratives. Yet, the hateful and unhinged language has continued unabated from academics declaring that the assassination attempt was staged to those who complain that the only problem was that Thomas Matthew Crooks missed.

For years, Democrats have repeated analogies of Trump to Hitler and his followers to brownshirted neo-Nazis.  Indeed, defeating Trump has been compared to stopping Hitler in 1933.

The narrative began as soon as Trump was elected when the press and pundits uniformly and falsely claimed that Trump had praised neo-Nazis and Klansmen in 2017 as “fine people” in Charlottesville.

Watching Trump’s statement at the time, it was clear to most of us that Trump condemned the neo-Nazis and that the statement about “fine people on both sides” was in reference to the debate over the removal of historic statues.

It took six years for Snopes to finally have the courage to do a fact check and declare the common attack to be false.

It did not matter. The press and politicians have hammered away at the notion that Trump is seeking to end democracy and that everyone from gay people to reporters will be “disappeared.”

After the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity, Rachel Maddow went on the air with a hysterical claim that “death squads” had just been green lighted by conservatives. Democratic strategist Jame Carville insists that Trump’s reelection will bring “the end of the Constitution.”

    CPUSA (D) useless idiots are clueless as the NSDAP were socialist from cradle to grave.

    There was a nationalist bent only capable in a monoethnic society punished by the Bolshevik banksters and globalists at Versailles way out of proportion as it wasn’t a German that assassinated Franz Ferdinand. (Serbian)

    I don’t wish to coexist with people who have cheered for an America loving Patriot’s demise for almost ten years.

    I’m surprised it took this long for some useful idiot to act on all the venomous rhetoric coming from the in this house rainbow coalition of fake phony virtue signal poseurs.

    No room for commie.
