A Washington DC press that makes a living by sucking Donald Trump’s udder would be completely clueless and traumatized as to why anyone would try to harm the elites in the bubbles of six and seven-person parties for a contrived event they are using to gain power while televising it all while Americans can’t afford groceries, healthcare, gas, and many are out of a job.
Anyone who would take or even consider taking violent action likely has serious mental health issues because such behavior is never a solution, but instead of looking in the mirror and asking themselves if they are responsible for platforming, normalizing and profiting from Trump’s ingenuity some in the Washington DC press have decided that the problem is political rhetoric, and that Democrats are as much to blame as Trump for the culture of division and extremism currently in the country.
On CNN’s State Of The Union, Dana Bash interviewed Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD).
Raskin explained that he went to the White House Correspondents Dinner because he supported the First Amendment:
I was so happy that President Trump addressed that, because he had called the press the enemy of the people. There have been so many attacks on reporters that lawsuits have been filed against media entities, and so there has been a terrible attack on the First Amendment. Freedom of the press and expression.
I thought last night would be a wonderful opportunity to try to reclaim the country’s fundamental values.
Bash then tried to blame Raskin and the Democrats for using heated rhetoric against Trump: “And you, and like many of your fellow Democrats, have used heated rhetoric against the president, and when something like that happens, do you think twice about it?”
It was at this point that Raskin pushed back forcefully.
