Trump Never Defended Calls To ‘Hang Mike Pence,’ But Shameless Media Can’t Stop Lying About It
“Trump Defends Capitol Rioters’ ‘Hang Mike Pence’ Chants: ‘People Were Very Angry,’” was The Daily Beast’s fare, with Business Insider claiming, “Trump justified his supporters calling to hang Mike Pence at the Capitol riot, saying it’s ‘common sense.’”

Axios’s Mike Allen went with the headline, “Exclusive audio: Trump defends threats to ‘hang’ Pence,” and led with the story in his morning newsletter. Trump “defended, quite extensively, supporters who threatened to ‘hang’ former Vice President Mike Pence,” Allen said, adding, “it is unprecedented for a former president to openly say it was OK to threaten the life of his vice president.”

In order to get the full picture, you must listen to the audio, not just look at the transcript, because the exchange didn’t occur in a back-and-forth Q&A format as the media portrays. Listen here:


Once again, the media is lying. Notice when Joe Biden uses the N-word, as he did just the other day, the media trips over themselves to claim he misspoke.

With Trump, his style of speaking, even speaking over people as they interject words, but is actually just continuing a train of thought, is twisted by the media so that what he was saying wasn't in response to the "hang Mike Pence" comment, which was never even fully stated, but was speaking to the anger of demonstrators. I admit, Trump can be hard to follow when he's rambling, but he never said what he's accused of saying.

Which "N" word did Biden "use just the other day"?...Link, please.

Twitter is not a reliable source. Try again. :)
 
Trump tweeted to the insurrectionists in the midst of the violent attack that Pence had betrayed them. He egged them on by attacking Pence.

You have to give the Republican media liars credit. They are on top of every tiny little molecule of a thing.

So many of their arguments are: Maybe these idiots will misunderstand or get lazy and end up thinking what I want them to think, in the same way it happened to me.

Luckily, many people aren't as dumb as they are.
 
I'm sure that if somehow the insurrection hit its one in a million shot and succeeded in overthrowing the country, then Trump would have said, "No, c'mon guys, that's unpatriotic, let's all back things up a bit and certify this free and fair election. Otherwise, I'd be dictator in a former democracy, and who wants a fascist dictatorship in which Donald Trump is calling absolutely all of the shots? Certainly not I."

And thus ends story time with Chuckles the Psychotic Alternative-History Clown.

His own VP.

This is really one of the biggest stories in the history of our country. It's just that we're right in the middle of it and arguing with the insurrectionists and their supporters.

You re right, Trump never came right out and said I defend those who called for Pence to be hung. What Trump says is that he "understands" that they were angry and said what they did because Pence would not do as Trump told him to do and overturn the election. It is what you might call Trump speak that Cohen talked about. Cohen says that Trump never directly says to go after someone Trump feels wronged him, instead he says it would be nice if someone went after that person.

Are you actually a member of the thought police or just speculating?

A source of what, the linked article to the Federalist? *shrug*

So don't participate. Have a great weekend.
 
He said negro while he was referring to the negro leagues.

Shocking....

Nope. He called Satchel Paige "the great negro" during a Veterans Day speech.

We know that the liberal media and their DP sycophants would be screaming "racist" had it been Trump.

Conversely, had Biden spoken the exact same words using the same phrasing as Trump did when speaking about 1/6? They would be here quoting their fact checkers and voice cadence experts, body language gurus, facial expression pioneers, etc.

It's all fake outrage and Trump'd-up charges to convict the orange monster because, well, he's so despised its neurological.

Here are Biden's exact words:

And I just want to tell you, I know you’re a little younger than I am, but you know I’ve adopted the attitude of the great Negro — at the time, pitcher in the Negro Leagues — went on to become a great pitcher in the pros — in Major League Baseball after Jackie Robinson. His name was Satchel Paige.

I know honesty is hard, and destroys every single argument you have ever made at DP, but you could just once try and tell the actual truth. He stuttered, trying to say "great Negro League pitcher". He has a lifelong stuttering problem. And he still beat your guy fair and square.

Nope. It's not the first time his racism has slipped out. Biden's behavior has followed a pattern. I'm disappointed you deny this.

So what was Trump trying to say?

It doesn't matter. They are in massive damage control mode and they are trying to change the conversation as hard as they can. And it's probably going to work because most sane people are not gonna stay on this thing that trump said.

It's all so disgusting.

So the excuse is that Trump was on a roll and failed to hear the question? Sounds like he has some mental issues.
 

Color me completely unsurprised.
All the mainstream media is doing anymore is pushing Democrat political propaganda. No wonder their credibility and trust polling results are what they are, all self-inflicted.

"With 'friends' like these . . .".

"The news is not about news anymore. It's about protecting some people, destroying others and shoving a socialist agenda down the collective throats of America"
No truer words.

The OP wants us to believe the interviewer injected Pence into Trump's answer when, in fact, Trump was answering a question about Pence.
