To See President Biden's 5 Best Jokes At The White House Correspondents Dinner visit The Daily.
According to Fox News contributor Pete Hegseth, Trump protesters are anti-Semites: “These are Communists. These are anarchists. They’re anti-Semitic.” Yes, apparently only anarchists want the person who wins the popular vote to be the winner of the election. What a crazy, anti-democratic idea!
In light of Donald Trump appointing a prominent anti-Semite to his White House staff, Hegseth’s accusation that Trump protesters are anti-Semitic sounds more than a little hollow. Perhaps he realizes how well projection worked for Trump (and has worked for Fox News in the past) and figured now was a good time to accuse protesters of being guilty of what amounts to supporting Trump.
What is remarkable is that this is coming from the same network that sent out this tweet in defense of that anti-Semite, Steve Bannon:
Look, nobody ever said today’s conservatism made any kind of sense. Reality has become such a chaotic mish-mash of conflicting ideas over the past eight years that we would honestly be surprised if anything Hegseth said made sense. Rebellions may be built on hope, but there’s hope and then there’s plain wishful thinking.
The Republican Party and Fox News both are lost to the world of reality and fact. The swim in uncharted seas, a realm where wishful thinking has power and facts do not, where an America that never was is more compelling than the America of history.
Just look at reactions to Hegseth’s claim, nonsense such as “Not going to happen he won fair and square and no amount of protesting is going to change that.” of course, Trump did not win “fair and square” thanks to voter suppression, and in fact, he didn’t win at all, as Hillary Clinton carried the popular vote.
You can’t stop the stupid folks, but you can fight it.
