Sometimes I think that there is not an honest and credible journalist within the major media. I will not tolerate the manner in which they are expressing their shock and dismay that Donald Trump is prejudiced. Not one person in the mainstream media can convince me that he or she hasn’t known that the Republican Party has been racist, bigoted, misogynistic, and homophobic for decades. The only difference today is that Trump is open about it; previously Republican leaders have been more clandestine.
Trump’s first major attack was focused on Hispanic immigrants; calling them ‘drug mules,’ ‘criminals,’ and ‘rapists.’ Does anyone believe that he is not revealing the attitude of the old white men in the Republican Party? Is his attack on the religion of Islam any different than the party’s support of the Christian religious right which denies validity and freedom for all other religious faiths? Why are they xenophobes? Is there any question that Republican politicians support Trump’s misogyny as they vote against every piece of legislation which would positively affect women by protecting their equality under the Constitution? If they are not homophobic, why do they deny the rights of same-sex couples to marry? Why are Republican states passing voting laws which make it more difficult for black voters to cast their ballots?
The media is aligned with the hypocrites of the Republican Party who denounce Trump, but only because there is a general election this year.
Let’s look at one of the biggest hypocrites in the country, who works for the most fallacious ‘fake-news’ network on the planet.
FOX Noise personality, Megyn Kelly, denounced Trump for his racist attacks against District Court Judge, Gonzalo Curiel, the man who will hear a case involving fraud related to Trump University. During her broadcast, she feigned surprise that Trump had openly revealed his prejudice. She was his initial victim during the first faux-debate when he displayed his misogynistic tendencies.
Her guest was Trump supporter, Bill Bennet. Her fake rage left him nearly speechless, until they joined in an attempt to inaccurately claim that Democrats are prejudiced, and Republicans are the party of Lincoln. Really? Republicans today would not only denounce Lincoln; they would shun Ronald Reagan for his “Democratic Policies.”
The fact is that if you are a Trump supporter, you align yourself with his beliefs and lack of morality. You cannot have it both ways. Trump is the leader of the Republican Party, and as such reveals the attitude of all Republicans.
A great shame has come to the GOP; but it’s not Trump’s doing. “Trumpenstein” was created over a large number of years by men and women who are themselves prejudiced and support special interests. The media blames Trump to protect Republican’s lack of leadership, but I always tell the truth.
The only reason Republicans are attacking Trump is an attempt to misdirect voters from the facts. Today’s GOP does not represent the working class, and denies the existence of blacks, Hispanics, women, religions other than Christian, and the LGBT community.
These are the facts.
