Obama Recycles “Very Fine People” Narrative Despite the Fact That It’s a Proven Hoax

Barack Obama recycled the “very fine people” narrative yet again, despite the fact that it’s a proven hoax.

Obama made the comments during a Kamala Harris campaign rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

“Maybe you’re Muslim-American or you’re Jewish-American and you’re furious about the ongoing bloodshed in the Middle East and worried about the rise of anti-semitism,” said Obama.

“Why would you place your faith in someone who instituted a so-called Muslim ban,” he added (another hoax given that it wasn’t a ‘Muslim ban’ – it only covered 8 per cent of the global Muslim population and focused on countries that were a high security risk to the United States).

Obama went on to assert that Trump “said that there were very fine people on both sides of the white supremacist rally.”

The Harris campaign also amplified this narrative back in August with a post on X via her official campaign account.

Democrats have been circulating this talking point for 7 years despite it being a known fabrication which was even acknowledged by left-wing Snopes.

Trump made the comments in response to the Unite the Right rally in August 2017, which was focused around the removal of a Confederate statue.

“Trump did say there were “very fine people on both sides,” referring to the protesters and the counterprotesters,” reported Snopes.

Massachusetts Man Arrested for Vandalizing Pro-Trump Sign With a Swastika

A Massachusetts man has been arrested for vandalizing a pro-Trump sign with a swastika.

The sign sits along Route 3 in Cohasset.

Frederic Laidlaw, 74, was visited by police at his home on Thursday. When they arrived, he reportedly said, “Guilty,” and asked, “What took you so long?”

The Cohasset Police wrote in a post on X, “LAIDLAW will be arraigned on a felony charge of defacement of property in violation of MGL. The AGs Office, Civil Rights Division, has been notified of the arrest. Investigation remains open.”

According to a report from Breitbart News, the sign belongs to Kevin O’Donnell, who is chair of the Cohasset Republican Town Committee.

“I just thought we were above that. I just thought that wouldn’t occur in this election, or any election — there’s no Nazis in America,” O’Donnell said.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald Explains Why Liberal Media Attacks on Trump Are Not Working

Glenn Greenwald recently appeared on the Jesse Watters show and talked about the liberal media’s fading influence and why their constant attacks on Trump are not working.

He suggests that this has been a process that has been getting worse for the media for years and that only now are they beginning to realize that it’s a major problem for them.

He also points out the fact that despite all of the media slurs against Trump, he is attracting voters from all walks of life, including minorities.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

WATTERS: They only joke about Democrats once their careers are over. Can’t wait to see what they say about Kamala after Tuesday.

Glenn Greenwald is a Substack columnist.

So very interesting that this is obviously an anonymous TV executive, Glenn, “A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form.” Is he right?

GLENN GREENWALD, JOURNALIST: I think he’s right to the extent that it has actually been true for eight years, ever since Trump descended the elevator, the primary narrative of the corporate media has been that Trump is a fascist, Trump is a racist, Trump is a fascist Hitler type figure.

And not only did he win in 2016, let’s say he tied in 2020, there is obviously half the country about to vote for him again. And not only half the country, but a huge number of non-White voters, as the media is saying that Trump is a White supremacist, a Hitlerian Nazi figure, have been vibrating from the Democratic Party over to Trump.

And so you can see in everything that the American people are doing that nothing the media says day after day after day about him has any real effect. The only bizarre part is that it is taking them only until now to realize that their relevance has been rapidly diminishing.

Violent Leftist Arrested For Beating Trump Supporter in Grocery Store, Breaking His Teeth Over ‘Trump 2024’ Hat

This is what happens when Trump supporters are labeled “garbage,” “Nazis,” and “Fascists” by Democrat leaders and their media stenographers.

A violent leftist was arrested for beating a Trump supporter at a Bath, New York, grocery store on Friday.

60-year-old Robert Yott was arrested on Friday after he became aggressive and confronted a Trump supporter wearing a ‘Trump 2024’ hat at Tops Friendly Markets.

According to police, Yott repeatedly punched the Trump supporter in the face and broke his teeth.

WETM reported:

A Bath man is facing charges after he allegedly attacked a stranger in a grocery store for wearing a Trump hat.

Robert Yott, 60, was arrested following an incident at Tops Friendly Markets on West Morris Street in Bath on Nov. 1. According to the Village of Bath Police Department, Yott became aggressive and started a confrontation with a stranger shortly before 10 a.m. on Friday because the stranger was wearing a Trump 2024 hat.

Police say Yott punched the victim in the mouth and head multiple times. The victim’s teeth broke, and their mouth became bloody because of the attack, which appeared to be a random act of violence. Yott and the victim had never met before the attack.

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton have referred to Trump supporters as “Nazis” and “garbage” over the past week.

These People Are Hiding Whom They’re Actually Voting For From Their Spouses And Family

Earlier this week, while stumping for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in a Detroit suburb, former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney made the case for Harris to suburban Republican and independent women.

At one point, she assured them that no one ― not your husband, not your family ― will know who you vote for.

“If you’re at all concerned, you can vote your conscience and not ever have to say a word to anybody,” Cheney said as she sat side by side with Harris. “And there will be millions of Republicans who do that on Nov. 5.”

That’s true: Whether or not you voted is public record, but how you voted in local, state or national elections is kept a secret; there’s no official way to search for how someone voted.

This election cycle is so heated and hyperpartisan, some people say they’re planning to do just what Cheney suggested: Hide whom they’re really voting for from their spouses and family.

Certainly, in worst-case scenarios, there are people in controlling or abusive relationships who have serious fears about how their spouse will respond if they vote for candidate A rather than the favored candidate B.

But most people we spoke to for this story said they’re voting their conscience while keeping it a secret ― or in some cases, outright lying ― just to avoid awkward or tense conversations in mixed political marriages or families.

That’s true for Avery, a 30-year-old veteran from eastern Florida, who’s voting for Harris this time rather than Trump. (Like others in this piece, Avery asked to use her first name only to protect her privacy.)

“As a veteran, I take great offense to the insurrection he incited on Jan. 6,” she said. “And with [Harris] and Tim Walz, I think they’re respectable, intelligent people and I agree with their policies. When I watch them speak, I don’t feel embarrassed for our country.”

She’s not letting her husband or his pro-Trump immigrant family know her voting plans, though, to avoid any unnecessary family drama.

Karoline Leavitt Absolutely Destroys ABC Propagandist for Defending Democrats’ Hypocrisy on Political Violence

The Trump campaign’s National Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, made waves in a blistering takedown of mainstream media’s double standards.

Leavitt appeared on ABC to address former President Donald Trump’s comments about Liz Cheney, which the media falsely spun as advocating her execution.

Leavitt quickly dispelled the narrative, calling out Democrats’ hypocrisy and the media’s blatant attempts to twist Trump’s words.

ABC’s Elizabeth Schulze began the segment by suggesting Trump’s comments were “inciting violence” against Cheney.

Leavitt expertly dismantled Schulze, pointing out that Trump’s comments were a valid critique of Cheney’s hawkish foreign policy stances and her willingness to send American soldiers to war while she herself has never served.

Elizabeth Schulze:
Joining us now for more on the campaign is National Press Secretary for the Trump campaign, Caroline Leavitt. Caroline, thanks so much for your time tonight. As you heard in our last report, the former President today doubled down on that comment against Congresswoman Liz Cheney, calling her a coward and a “dumb warhawk.” What’s the strategy here with this message and continuing to repeat that rhetoric?

Karoline Leavitt:
First of all, President Trump is saying the truth, and he is 100% right about Liz Cheney and so many others who have made up the Washington DC establishment class for so many years. They are so quick to take action that starts foreign conflict and wars, sending America’s sons and daughters into overseas conflicts where many American soldiers have lost their lives when they themselves have never served in combat.

This is an issue that both Democrats and Republicans, by the way, have taken with the Washington DC establishment class for so many years. That’s all President Trump was expressing on that stage last night. It’s shameful that we woke up today to so many misleading headlines from the mainstream media, saying that President Trump was suggesting Liz Cheney should be executed. That is utterly absurd. What he was suggesting is that Liz Cheney should maybe understand the severe consequences of war before she tries to send more Americans overseas to fight in them.

When Schulze pushed the narrative that Trump’s words could lead to violence, Leavitt flipped the script, exposing the left’s hypocrisy.

Democrat Arizona AG Investigating Trump’s Liz Cheney ‘War Hawk’ Comment As ‘Death Threat’

The unhinged political establishment is taking its latest piece of fake news to unprecedented levels with the Democrat Attorney General of Arizona launching an investigation into a remark made by former President Donald Trump in Glendale, Arizona, Thursday.

Trump had called RINO ex-Congresswoman Liz Cheney a “war hawk” and suggested she should pick up a gun and take part in the wars she supports.

However, mainstream media, Democrat politicians and leftists online are falsely claiming the GOP nominee called for Cheney to be executed by a firing squad.

Arizona AG Kris Mayes told 12NEWS Phoenix on Friday, “I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona’s laws. I’m not prepared now to say whether it was or it wasn’t, but it is not helpful as we prepare for our election and as we try to make sure that we keep the peace at our polling places and in our state.”

Mayes’ spokesperson Richie Taylor confirmed to NBC News that an investigation has been launched.

MSNBC covered the investigation, telling viewers Trump could be charged with a misdemeanor or even a felony.

CNN Contributor Jonah Goldberg Retracts Statement After Misleading Voters with Erroneous ‘Execution’ Remark on Trump’s Cheney Comments

Another day, another hoax. The mainstream media’s relentless campaign to misrepresent former President Donald Trump has reached new heights.

In a Friday appearance on CNN, so-called conservative pundit Jonah Goldberg falsely claimed that Trump suggested a firing squad execution for former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).

President Trump had criticized Cheney’s hawkish foreign policy views during an interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday, condemning her stance on “endless wars.” At no point did Trump imply or suggest any such violent intentions toward Cheney—he merely called her out for her support of prolonged conflicts.

Goldberg, however, attacked Trump with an inflammatory conclusion, saying, “I don’t think you even need to call it fire-up on. He’s saying quite explicitly and unambiguously that Liz Chenney should be shot, should be executed by a firing squad. That is appalling. It is a small facet of the reasons why he’s unfit for office, and the Republican Party has made a disastrous mistake renominating him.”

ANOTHER HOAX: Kamala’s Camp and Fake News Claim Trump Wants Liz Cheney Executed by Firing Squad – Here’s What Trump Really Said 

Another day, another hoax.

The fake news media is at it again.

This time they’re claiming Trump said he wants Liz Cheney executed by firing squad.

President Trump sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday evening and criticized Liz Cheney for wanting to send America’s sons to fight endless wars.

Trump did not say he wanted Liz Cheney executed by firing squad. He called her out for being a war hawk and supporting endless wars as long as she doesn’t have to be on the front lines in a bloody battle.

“I don’t blame [Dick Cheney] for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual, very dumb,” Trump said of Liz Cheney.

Trump continued, “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it. Let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘oh gee let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.”

Trump’s Critics Keep Undermining Their Case by Lying About Stuff He Supposedly Said

It is no secret that Donald Trump hates former Rep. Liz Cheney (R–Wyo.), a leading critic of the former president who joined nine other Republicans in supporting his second impeachment, served as vice chair of the House select committee that investigated the 2021 Capitol riot, and is now campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris. But contrary to what you may have heard, Trump did not say Cheney “should be fired upon” (as CNN reported), recommend “executing her” (as CNN anchor Sara Sidner claimed), suggest that she “go before a firing squad” (as The Atlantic‘s David Graham averred), or make “a dark and ominous threat” of “death” against her (as The New Republic‘s Hafiz Rashid asserted).

Here is what Trump actually said about Cheney during an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson at a campaign event in Glendale, Arizona, on Thursday night: “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see how she feels about it—you know, when the guns are trained on her face.” Referring to politicians who are inclined to favor U.S. military interventions, Trump added: “You know, they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building, saying, ‘Oh, gee, well, let’s send, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.'”

Trump’s remarks about Cheney reflected a standard complaint about armchair interventionists: that they are insulated from the consequences of the wars they support and do not give adequate consideration to the human costs. Although he may have expressed that point in especially vivid terms, he did not argue that Cheney deserved to be shot or killed.

Cheney nevertheless joined other Trump critics in portraying his comments as a death threat. “This is how dictators destroy free nations,” she wrote on X. “They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.”

The blatant distortion of Trump’s comments is part of a pattern, and it reflects a broader problem. With four days to go before the presidential election, people who rightly worry about what a second term for Trump could mean might have a chance to persuade on-the-fence voters that his authoritarian instincts, reflected in his frequently expressed desire to punish his political opponents after he regains power, make him unfit for office. But when Trump’s critics try to do that by misrepresenting easily checked facts, they encourage potentially persuadable voters to dismiss the case against him as mendacious fearmongering.
