The story opens, “The Mormon Church shooter who killed at least four people in an attack on Sunday had a Trump sign outside his house and wore MAGA merch.” After weeks of being lectured by the left about how it was ghoulish to point out that mentally disturbed leftists were murdering people for political reasons, suddenly they saw a Google Street View image of what kind of looks like a “Trump/Pence” sign on a fence and they knew all they needed to know: Donald Trump had inspired one of his followers to murder Mormons.
Missing, naturally, was anything Trump has ever said about Mormons. Democrats didn’t even try. If they had, they probably could have come up with something critical of Mitt Romney which was even too flimsy for them to try.
No, they didn’t try. They don’t have to try anymore. The new standard is whatever they declare is true; there’s no need to back it up with evidence. Evidence is for suckers.
The Daily Beast story continues, “The Trump sign outside his home has fueled heated speculation about his politics. Some social media users have used the Trump placard to claim that he is a Republican, while those across the aisle see the placement of the poster—just above a ‘stop’ sign—as an indication that he wanted to ‘stop Trump.’”
Within an hour of his name being known, the leftist corporate media had dug deeper into his background than they still have for any of the people who tried to murder President Trump or the guy who did kill Charlie Kirk, who they lost all interest in after it was learned he was living with a “trans woman” boyfriend.
Burning more calories than the reporter likely has all year, she tracked down a Democrat consultant and wrote, “Mark Grebner, a Democratic consultant, told Bridge Michigan that Sanford had signed two petitions: one for the 2021 ‘Unlock Michigan’ effort to repeal Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s pandemic emergency powers, and a 2020 push by Right to Life Michigan to outlaw an abortion procedure.”
Is there an accurate body count for the attack yet? But a lawn sign and someone with a political agenda are sources for a story with the title, “Mormon Church Shooter Had a Trump Sign Outside His House.” (Don’t worry, the link goes to an outside site to bypass the paywall and does not serve their ads, so they get nothing.)
I’m reminded of my late friend Joe Wurzelbacher, aka “Joe the Plumber.” Then-candidate Barack Obama walked down his street, and Joe asked a simple question about taxes. Obama’s answer was stupid – “when you spread the wealth around…” – and the entire left-wing industrial complex went into damage control mode. Within 3 days, they’d investigated Joe’s background, lying about him and ultimately, illegally, releasing his tax records, in an attempt to discredit him…for asking a question.
To this day, the public still has more of a record of irrelevant information and lies about Joe than we know about Barack Obama’s college years, for example. He had to be attacked and smeared because the alternative was to report honestly about the exchange and about what Obama said and was advocating on behalf of.
The media does know who to do this research – it’s not hard, it’s pretty much Google and whatever rabbit holes that leads you down – they just stop the second they find anything they think they can pin on the right, hand the narrative on that, and move on as quickly as possible to avoid the discovery of anything to contradict it.
They don’t even try anymore. Have you noticed how all the cable “news’ discussion of the indictment of James Comey revolves around the concept of “How dare they?” with no one, with the exception of Comey himself, declaring that he is innocent. They all know he lied, or they don’t care: Trump is on one side, so they’re on the other. If Trump cured cancer, Democrats would try to sabotage it “To save the jobs of oncologists!”
They really are that sick.
Remember that as they try to imply “Trump is to blame” for the Mormon attack, and note how they never cite anything incendiary that could even be viewed as having set him off. They’ll do it as they ignore the anti-ICE ammunition and the trail of blood from Utah to their hands about “fascist” cries. The left is always guilty of what they accuse everyone else of doing, always.
Editor's Note: President Trump is leading America into the "Golden Age" as Democrats try desperately to stop it.
