The title of the hit piece is "Video Of Trump Ignoring Questions On The Capital Gazette Shooting Will Stun You."
What a load of crap!
The article insinuates that Trump had nothing more to say about the shooting to reporters who screamed questions at him as he was going about his business, save for his tweet on Thursday.
An NBC News clip shows Trump walking away as reporters shouted at him questions such as, "Do you have any words of condolences for the families [of the victims], Mr. President?"
Another 'unbiased' reporter is heard shouting, "Why are you walking away?" while another yelled, "Why don't you come and talk to us about that?"
Trump doesn't owe these reporters the time of day--it's up to them to get the story, but they tend to often get it at the expense of Republicans, especially POTUS.
Nothing President Trump does is okay with the mainstream media. Nothing. And the errors they make in reporting never, never go against the Democrats or socialists [as they now move to fully become], it's always against the administration and those on the right.
Trump tweeted about the shooting:
"This attack shocked the conscience of our nation and filled our hearts with grief. Journalists, like all Americans, should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their job."
"We pledge our eternal support. My government will not rest until we have done everything in our power to reduce violent crime and to protect innocent life."
Now I take issue with Trump saying "My government." It isn't his, it's ours. But what more does he need to say to assuage the bias of reporters? If he gave a longer, more heartfelt response to the shooting, would they have been satisfied, or would they use the opportunity to ask him the ridiculous question as to how calling the press "fake news" sparked the shooting or divides the country?
When Obama was president, he used the occasion of the Pulse Nightclub shooting to score political points, calling it "an especially heartbreaking day for our friends who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender."
He wasn't done:
"This is a sobering reminder that attacks on any American, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation is an attack on all of us and on the fundamental values of equality and dignity that define us as a country, and no act of hatred or terror will ever change who we are or the values that make us Americans."Then before the bodies were even buried, he issued another call to restrict limits to firearm access, something to which the Republicans and the NRA have agreed upon, but have pointed out how the laws that are already in place are not being followed, just like what Obama did with the immigration laws.
"This massacre is a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that allows them to shoot people [he's referring to firearms, in case a leftist is reading this]."He made references to previous shootings in which mentally ill people were able to get their hands on guns, such as Aurora, Colorado and Newtown, Connecticut. He didn't call them mentally ill, nor point out the Pulse Nightclub shooting was carried out by a radical Muslim.
"We have to decide if that's the kind of country we want to be. And to do nothing is a decision as well."
Then he didn't say anything to the families who were shot on his watch as Trump did.
But Bustle.com refers to the video of Trump not taking time out to talk to reporters who are clearly looking to ambush him.
How shocking.
