This has been covered on my show ad nauseam for years.
Prior to Trump’s political arrival, the media ignored hate crimes against white people (which are rising according to the FBI). The double standard on political ‘violent rhetoric’ is undeniable.
Post-Trump, we’ve seen a surge in fake hate hoaxes.
We even caught the DNC and Hillary campaign funding the Creamer Group to manufacture fake hate and political violence to blame Trump supporters for.
The sheer amount of examples of Trump supporters being verbally accosted or physically assaulted for wearing their MAGA hats should have been enough to spur some media attention at least. Alas, they still ignore real hate to peddle blatantly obvious fake hate scandals.
The formula is simple:
- Outlandish, unbelievable hatred claim is made. Media elites organize to make the story believable.
- The MSM, social media, blue check mark brigade uncritically spread the story and make it viral.
- A crowdfunding site is created to support the ‘victim.’
- Cracks in the story start to appear but the MSM and social media apologists run interference for the fraudster.
- MSM drops the story altogether. Rarely reporting that the story they peddled was a hoax.
- Social media blue check mark brigaders excuse peddling the hoax because ‘it’s still an important discussion that raises awareness.’
- Fraudster has to give money the defrauded back, but this gets no MSM attention at all, and is only covered in alternative media.
- Rinse and repeat.
The standard for this formula to be deployed are that the alleged ‘victim’ must be from a protected class typically aligned with the Democratic Party or other leftist philosophy. If they are white or aligned with the political right, the story is ignored.
Case in point, the Jussie Smollett hoax. It was uncritically believed and spread my MSM news outlets and verified ‘journalists’ on Twitter. It was always suspect and unbelievable as a real story. The media elite didn’t care. It checked all of their social justice boxes. Racist – check. Homophobic- check. Can be used to attack Trump and his supporters – check. With that, the hoax went viral.
Now, we have two stories of actual hate directed at Trump supporters. One was just a kid and the other involved potential murder. The media has all but ignored these stories. Some outlets haven’t covered them at all, others have buried the stories in their platforms and not given nearly the attention they give the typical hate hoax.
A 14-year-old boy was verbally accosted by a Van’s store employee for wearing a MAGA hat. A kid! After telling this kid “fuck you” the mother had this exchange with the employee:
“He did nothing to you,” the mother told the employee. “What did you say to my son, to my 14-year-old?”
“I’m sure he’s heard it before,” the employee responded.
Gee, might a story about adults accosting children for their political views be something we can have a ‘national discussion’ about?
Or how about the story where a guy pulled a gun on two Trump supporters who were wearing their MAGA hats. A GUN!
He threatened to kill them because they wore MAGA hats after flipping them off by saying: “It’s a good day for you to die.” He’s been arrested.
Again, might there be a ‘national discussion’ about threating to murder people because you don’t like their political views?
Both stories basically ignored by the MSM. Real examples of unhinged hatred for fellow Americans. Links to both stories here.
To steal a quote from CNN spreading the Jussie Smollett hoax … this is America in 2019. Or rather, this is your media in 2019.
UPDATE:
Today, after writing this post, the story broke that a leftist harassed an elderly man for wearing a MAGA hat.
So much for the media’s ‘treat your elders with respect’ mantra.
UPDATE II:
This 7-year-old was allegedly called ‘little Hitler’ for selling hot cocoa to raise money for the wall. So classy adults.
