Thursday on MSNBC’s The Beat, irrelevant former journalist Carl Bernstein ranted that former President Donald Trump is the “first seditionist president” in America’s history.
“We have a culture of misinformation and disinformation,” Bernstein began. No argument there, but that culture was established by the leftist media, not Trump and his supporters, which is whom Bernstein is blaming.
“Obviously, during the Trump era, during the Trump presidency, in our politics, we saw actual repeated serial lies by what we now know to be a president of the United States who was a seditionist,” he continued. “The first seditionist president in our history has perpetuated these lies. And worst of all, we have a political party that has accepted and embraced these lies. It has never happened before.”
This is desperate demagoguery, not truthful journalism, but that’s all Bernstein and his Party have to offer.
He added, “The Republican Party has now allowed itself by being so craven to go along with the big lie, with the serial lie, with the seditious lies. The result is we have a culture that now is almost dominated — half the people in this country are willing to go along with this misinformation, disinformation and perpetual lying. No other American president tried to stage a coup.”
The only Big Lies are the left’s claim that Joe Biden won the 2020 election fair and square, and the demonstrably false accusation that Trump tried to stage a coup. But Bernstein is correct that half the people in this country are willing to go along with misinformation, disinformation, and perpetual lying — the Democrat half.
