Monday on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein accused President Trump of being “homicidal” for holding indoor campaign rallies during the coronavirus pandemic.
After Cooper claimed that Trump was “knowingly putting people’s lives at stake,” Bernstein replied, “Let’s be clear what we are looking at here, we are witnessing a homicidal president convening purposely with a homicidal assembly to help him get re-elected as president of the United States, instead of protecting the health and welfare of the United States, including supporters whose lives he’s willing to sacrifice.
“Here is this president, who staked part of his presidency on the right to life… and every day he’s sacrificed the lives of thousands of Americans because he is unwilling to deal honestly, forthrightly meaningfully with the greatest domestic crisis in our post-war history in this country,” Bernstein continued. “He’s abdicated responsibility, and the result is the most grievous felony committed by any president in history, probably. And now we see him in front of us tonight, this homicidal assembly that the president of the United States called supporters to be sacrificial lambs. It’s astonishing.”
What’s astonishing is how shameless these media activists are in their grotesque demagoguery. Calling the President homicidal would be laughable if it weren’t such an ugly smear.
