Axios is a pretty hardcore leftist news organization that has made it abundantly clear they are no friends of former President Donald Trump, conservatives, freedom, liberty, or anything else that leads to the flourishing of human life. Given all of the anti-Trump rhetoric they have thrown at the former president over the years, it’s not a surprise that they would provide some negative coverage of the failed assassination attempt made on Trump over the weekend.
However, the actual low they hit while creating a piece discussing the incident that was published on Monday has taken a 10-foot dive below pond scum. As John Nolte of Breitbart points out, Axios grossly wants to see Trump come forward, before the whole world, and issue an apology…for taking a bullet to the ear. Yes, Trump was the target of a murder plot ripped out of the pages of a Tom Clancy novel and this egregious outlet wants him to say sorry.
He could unify America. Imagine he gave a speech featuring something he rarely shows: humility. Imagine him telling the nation that he has been too rough, too loose, too combative with his language — and now realizes words can have consequences, and promises to tone it down and bring new voices into the White House if he wins (emphasis original).
Nolte summarizes that entire paragraph in just four words: He had it coming!
This is called victim blaming. Which the left supposedly rails against all the time, at least when it comes to rape victims. This is the equivalent of saying a woman deserved to get sexually assaulted because she showed a little too much leg. Rather than holding the rapist accountable for his actions and throwing him behind bars, they want the victim to come forward and say sorry for being a victim.
Leftism is evil, folks.
We don’t need to beat around the bush anymore. If a person is deep, deep into leftist political ideology, their beliefs are evil and it has likely corrupted their souls and transformed them into raging monsters.
It’s always like this with these elite, morally illiterate, indecent media outlets. We are their enemies. They hate us. Therefore, everything must always be our fault. When something happens to a Democrat, Republicans are shamed and scolded over their rhetoric. When something happens to a Republican, Republicans are shamed and scolded over their rhetoric.
In less than seven years, media hate campaigns have already provoked and incited assassination attempts on three prominent Republicans: Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and now Donald Trump.
In case you can’t remember, a radical left-winger attempted to murder a number of GOP lawmakers on a baseball field during practice for a congressional game, all the while yelling at the top of his lungs, “This is for health care!”
Oh, but I’m sure the mainstream media’s hands are as clean as Pontius Pilate’s about the bloodshed that occurred on that day, right? Surely this man wasn’t bombarded by constant news reports and comments from celebrities and other influencers who kept posting content stating that evil, Hilteresque conservatives were about to ruin healthcare for people and would ensure that the poor, immigrants, and many others would be denied critical care, that convinced him to take violent action against the GOP right?
“For nearly ten years, the media have lied about this man colluding with Russia to steal a presidential election, lied about him being a unique threat to democracy, lied about him being a rapist, lied about him describing Nazis as ‘very fine people,’ lied about him being a racist, lied about him trashing WWII troops, lied about him launching an insurrection, lied about him wanting to inject bleach into the sick, lied about him putting kids in cages, lied about him assaulting Secret Service agents, and lied about him being the second coming of Adolf Hitler,” Nolte wrote on Saturday evening.
Less than 24 hours ago, Axios praised His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s Sunday night Oval Office address about “toning down the rhetoric” without ever once mentioning Biden’s assassination-encouraging rhetoric. Not a single word about Biden telling his supporters to put Trump in a “bullseye.” Not a single word about Biden’s nationally televised speech in which he declared Trump and his supporters something that “threatens the very foundations of our republic” and represent “a threat to this country.”
The very same night that the former president was almost murdered on stage during a political rally, our very own president used extreme rhetoric to call him a “dictator.”
Nolted also asks why Axios wasn’t worried about rhetoric when Biden himself said, “Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation. He’s a threat to freedom [and] literally everything America stands for” which was stated a month ago.
One week before the shooting, Biden said the former president “could really become the dictator that he promised to be on day one.”
If you’re going to call out Trump for supposedly having aggressive, “extreme” rhetoric, and you want to be taken seriously, practice what you preach.
