Fox News Forces Democrat Rep to Make Trump Confession
Earlier this week, Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) appeared on CNN with Jake Tapper.
During her interview, she claimed that Donald Trump “wants to start internment camps” as well as putting her in one if he is elected as president.
Tapper never pressed her on the subject, but she did not have as much luck when she appeared on Fox News with Martha MacCallum.
Joking?
The one thing that really bothers me about today’s media is that Democrats are allowed to say the most outrageous things with no pushback.
The comments made by Dingell during her interview with Jake Tapper are a perfect example.
Pre-Trump, Tapper was a decent journalist and someone you could count on to push back on both parties, but that all went down the drain once Trump was elected.
The fact that Dingell made those comments with Tapper without being forced to confirm that is what she actually believes is a disgrace.
MacCallum took a far different approach, pushing Dingell to admit she was not being serious when she made the comments.
Dingell finally admitted, “I will be serious and say I said that as a joke because I am reminding members, sort of as a joke, because the president has made it very clear he’s going after his political enemies, and it is well documented what he has gone after me on numerous times because he doesn’t agree with what I’ve said or done. I try to be respectful.”
When MacCallum asked her if she was “really” living in fear of Trump being elected as president, Dingell responded, “I have to say something to you, Martha, I don’t know what it means to be on his political enemy list. To be called the ‘enemy from within,’ when he has talked about using the military against his political enemies.
“I hope right now that, you know, on this show might even — do you want me to tell you the truth? I don’t know what he means sometimes when he says things.”
Trump has repeatedly stated that his revenge would be a successful term.
Now, Dingell stating this on Fox News only tells us what we already knew, that she is gaslighting and fearmongering.
The real damage was done when she was on CNN and its viewers fed into this narrative.
I can tell you seriously that I have liberal friends who truly believe if Trump is president, he will order a SEAL Team to assassinate his political enemies, and there will be nothing anyone can do about it.
That is why journalists like Tapper need to push back on these outrageous statements being made by these insane Democrats.
It also supports my point before that Dems say this nonsense on purpose to get people riled up, then sit back and watch us all go at each other’s throats.
It’s unacceptable, and it must be stopped.
