I just watched Mcenany's press conference and they're STILL asking why Trump "won't denounce white supremacy"! To which of course, she replied that he
does, and
has denounced it, offered numerous quotes as proof, and mentioned his desire to prosecute the KKK as domestic terrorists.
And it was Fox's
John Roberts - who I thought was better than this (he's not!) that was really pushing it and not accepting the answer.
After the press conference he was complaining to the host about it on the air - complaining about people hammering him online for asking it AGAIN. He makes a suggestion that if Trump didn't know about them, Trump should've asked who the
Proud Boys are -
"tell me a little bit about them, and then I can..." Yeah, right - as if they would've followed through and given him actual answers! What BS! (They all want to keep using this
Proud Boys angle, ALL WITHOUT EVER REPORTING ANYTHING ABOUT WHO THEY ACTUALLY ARE OR WHAT THEY'VE ACTUALLY DONE! So dishonest!)
John Roberts:
....This all remains very puzzling! So for those of you on twitter who are hammering me, for answering that ques-[sic] for asking that question, I DON"T CARE! [while wavering his head back and forth in incredulity] Because it's a question that needs to be asked and clearly, the presidents republican colleagues a mile away from here, are looking for an answer too! So stop deflecting! Stop blaming the media! [very angry] I'm tired of it!
So yeah, it's just like the newsletter thing - In order
to prolong the accusation, they refuse to accept the answer! They keep asking for a denunciation, he keeps giving the denunciation they demand - but it's never enough. The next time they see him - SAME QUESTION!
"Will you denunciate...?" Of course he gets pissed! Then it's like -
"Oh your mad?! [that we keep hectoring you with this same question which you've aleady answered many times?]
"Why are you mad? Obviously it's true that your a racist, or you wouldn't get mad! We've PROVEN that your racist!"
A few more interesting tidbits came out:
Did you know that
John Roberts is married to some other "news" person from
ABC? Right after the press conference (before he showed his anger) - he admitted that it was his own wife -
Kierra or Kyra Phillips (?) from ABC, who asked Trump the SAME QUESTION YESTERDAY at a press conference.
Roberts complained that he said,
"I've always denounced that" - stressing the word
"that".
"For some reason, they're not saying the word!" - stressing the word
"word". He thinks it doesn't "count" unless he
speaks aloud the words "white supremacy", "racism" and whatever else,
within his denunciation! WTF? What child came up with these rules?!
So there you have it! Apparently the media believes that Trump
owes it to them, to swear some kind of precisely worded, extremely conscise, legal oath that has all the power of some signed legal document! No doubt they imagine they can hold it over his head whenever they don't like something he does!
Fuck these crybabies and their made-up rules!
Furthermore,
Tim Scott,
Mitch McConell and
Lindsey Graham need to STFU! They should be researching the Proud Boys
themselves, finding out for
themselves whether or not they deserve to be denounced! Instead they're siding with the media, taking the media at their word - even though they've offered no evidence, and have a loooong and well-know history of smearing innocent people as racists! So fuck Graham, Scott and McConnell too!
