Re: Media bias
We all know how the media plays abbreviated sound bites of President Trump intended to shed a negative light on his message and many times out of context.
I have yet to see anyone play a sound bite of the speech from his rally of January 6th or am I wrong. They also haven't to my knowledge estimated the number of supporters present. The President claims it was 250,000.
I have read the entire transcript of the speech and although it is filled with his usual rhetoric it is without him encouraging them to march on the Capitol in an aggressive manner.
1) I will say this, in my opinion the rally was a bad idea because it would further divided the country and it did.
2) He should have addressed the nation live that very evening to denounce the violence and formally concede the election to re-unite the nation.
3) He should have never thrown Mike Pence under the bus and to the wolves. Pence was his greatest ally and Trump was asking him to do something that is unconstitutional.
4) He finally denounced the violence by a video recording and 27 hours later!
5) To my knowledge he has not personally reached out to the families of the deceased Capitol Police.
In a nutshell ,as a fervent supporter of his, I'm extremely disappointed in his response to the event and his lack of leadership.
That's it, I'm done with this and other related threads.
