CNN recently aired a sharp montage of Donald Trump’s most controversial remarks, accusing the former president of fueling division and hypocrisy, especially when he claims it’s the left that’s stirring up violence. The network played clips of Trump calling Democrats “Marxists, communists, and fascists” and labeling them “the enemy from within.” Anchors said the footage showed how “hateful and inflammatory” his rhetoric is and challenged his claim that liberals are to blame for unrest.
But many people online pushed back, sharing their own montages of statements from the left and pointing out what they see as important differences. One viewer commented, “First of all, Skippy… Trump is calling them Marxist and socialist, which, to be fair, a lot of them call themselves. He’s not targeting individuals or tearing them down personally like they’ve done to him and other Republicans.”
Another added, “It’s not even close to the same thing. Trump talks about his political opponents and government figures as Marxists. He doesn’t insult Democrat voters the way the media and even a sitting U.S. president have labeled half the country as fascists and white supremacists.”
Trump weighed in on the controversy during a press conference in London with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. He said, “Well, Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he had bad ratings more than anything else. And he said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk.” He continued, “He’s not a talented person. He was fired for lack of talent.”
Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer called Kimmel’s suspension “one of the greatest threats to free speech America has ever seen.” However, his comments quickly drew criticism, with many pointing out the irony since Charlie Kirk was killed while exercising his right to free speech during a student debate.
When pressed further during an interview on MSNBC, Schumer said both sides were responsible for escalating rhetoric. “It was just horrible, and the image stays in people’s minds. Violence is just too frequent in America, on the left, on the right, in the middle. And the bottom line is we all have to condemn violence no matter where it comes from.
Violence like this undermines our democracy at its roots and its core, and we have to be strong against it.”
The difference is the left is correct in naming Trump a fascist, and calling all Democrats “radical left lunatics that are ruining the country” is ridiculous
The difference is the right is correct in naming the left marxists, and calling all Republicans “radical right lunatics that are ruining the country” is ridiculous
You support a pedophile as president lmao
Trump appointed RFK Jr’s brain worm to gut public health, after his first term pandemic leadership killed more Americans than WW2.
You can pretend Biden and Obama are as bad, or even worse, but it’s the same as soiling your diaper for attention.
Except the left doesn’t actually follow any Marxist policies and that’s just something you say that’s name calling whereas the left can point out that the things that Donald Trump and his administration are doing very closely mere things the Nazis did then the Nazis were known fascists. In short the administration is taking its plays from the Nazi Playbook.
What if I told you, the real problem is that republicans dont actually know what being Marxist means. IE Trump’s admin just forced the government to take an ownership interest in Intel and the state owning private for profit business is a Marxist policy.
Pedophile apologist says what?
His followers don’t know what a fascist is so he has to dumb it down for them. As Trump said himself, smart people don’t like him. Another fascist trait.
Kimmel is as silenced by the government. Charlie Kirk was silenced by a psycho individual. Democrats don’t support this type of behavior. Republicans are all ok with Trump’s banning of Kimmel. See the difference?
We submitted edited photos to that Charlie’s data website. Lots of edited photos of right wingers making awful comments about Charlie Kirk. I is fun that many of you are stupid.
“Smart people don’t like me.”
~Donald J. Trump (pedo)
Trump stands there and repeats the same lie over and over (for example: the 2020 election was stolen). And then he gets paranoid and thinks we’re attacking him when we say ‘no, that’s not true, that’s a lie.
Yes- 97% of the press is against him, because he keeps making stuff up!
Release the Epstine list.
I like how they say “the left” as if regular people talking is the same as the PotUS in front of a camera. And who on “the left” ever said anything like that? All these “montages” but not a link or embedded video of a single one so we can see the opposing view for ourselves? Why is that, because The Daily knows how stupid they are?
And if you’re all the way over on the right fringe, everyone else looks like they’re on the left
Trump is my best friend
The media tells the bigliest lies about the great AND SMART Donald Trump! He had the BEST montage on FAKE NEWS CNN (Lowest ‘Ratings’), and they didn’t even show his beautiful, perfect friendship with Jeffery Epstein!! Typical LYING MEDIA. I am not Donald J Trump, but I wish I was as HANDSOME AND GOOD AT GOLF as that perfect president! Thank you for your attention to this comment. -TD,CG

. This is how the media has seen washed the conservative rights insane ideas. Yes Charlie Kirk was exercising his right to free speech and no one really curtailed that because when we talk about curtailing ones right to free speech we mean by the government not by some f****** random psycho.. The one is an infringement on Free Speech the other is an act of a psycho. And when the media pretends they are equivalent they make it sound like what the conservative right is saying is normal and sane and reasonable and it is anything but. America is never coming back from this.
