CNN Reporter "assaults" White House intern

I watched this live and he did not assault her. He barely touched her arm. Trump had it in for him and set this up so he could get him banned. That's the kind of horrible, disgusting, vile person Trump is. The video on You-Tube has been altered by the White House to make it look worse than it was. The reporter was just doing his job but Trump is not able to answer hard questions. See Trump walk away from the podium like the coward he is when he was asked a question.

Well, whatever about the rights or wrongs of it, fifteen pages of Irish people getting over excited about a spat between the American President and an American newsman was deeply entertaining.

I've sen a lot of people who say he's changed a lot in the last 10 years. His vocabulary is getting more limited and he's getting far less articulate. Some think this could be as a result of the early stages of dementia.

I don't think he was ever the sharpest tool in the box.

Inheriting a couple hundred million does help of course....

I reckon the guy never made any money and he has been a front all his life.
Daddy had to bail him out.

But even with the money, the fact he made it to where he is, is kinda astounding.
Remember how far the likes of Ross Perot got or even Romney who is worth around $200-250 million.

He is ultimate triumph of stupidity.

Look at all the lefty SJW in uproar hahahahahahaha

Now I bet anyone would find it hard to label me a SJW and I haven't much time for CNN, but I find Trump's behaviour despicable and frankly he is dragging America into one awful hole.

And yes I can still see why some would vote for him out of desperation or protest, but I can't understand why some others who have feck all to complain about would.

I do find it interesting that a well known publicly womansing, twice divorced, with a Jewish daughter and son in law gets the support of the far right and evangelicals in the US.

In the past these groups passed up on supporting some politicians because they once looked at another woman or stopped outside a synagogue.

All things considered youve got to love trump. A journalist asks him legit questions and he ****s him out of the white house.

Brilliant stuff.

It might be kinda funny how he just ignores reality and gets away with it, if it wasn't for the fact this is serious and has serious repercussions for everyone.

He is making a mockery out of the office of president and leading the US, nay the world, into a dangerous path of denying actual facts with spoofery.

I absolutely LOVE posts like this.

Thinking you see the irony while simultaneously oblivious to the irony.

Trumpers: Haha, these NPCs just repeat a few stock phrases they heard on the TV.

B0jangles: Haha, these Trumpers just endlessly parrot something they heard about on reddit/4chan.

You know, maybe it's not just the Trumpers who can't see the irony?

Trumpers think that everyone who criticizes the God Emperor is a mindless NPC? Fair enough, is pretty blinkered and stupid. Folks should address the points and try to see nuance.

Hang on though... what's that? You read on the internet that "Trumpers" are mindlessly parroting things they read on the internet?

Hahaha those Trumpers are mindlessly calling us NPCs and parroting things they read online. I should know... I read it online!

Brilliant.

I'd love to hear the explanation for this.

Trump says and does stupid things. Pointing out those things, and when he lies id not parroting something, it's pointing out facts.

For example, lots of people pointing out that the reporter did not attack the intern and that the facts support this is not parroting the same line.

Using doctored footage and saying the reporter attacked the intern, dispute all the evidence to the contrary, is parroting the party line.

Only one side in this discussion is lying through their teeth and regurgitating the party line. The other side is just pointing out how stupid they are. There's no equivalency.

Sure, but my point is that the reporting part of CNN, MSNBC et al had actual meltdowns when it became clear that the "wrong" candidate was going to get elected, and they held off on admitting this for as long as was humanly possible. The amount of mental gymnastics they pulled to deny simply reporting facts that night was quite astounding. There are several YouTube accounts which have the full eight hours of CNN's coverage up, and it's astounding just how transparent the whole team's preference for one candidate, and belief that there's a "right" and "wrong" result in an election, becomes as the program progresses.

Who would watch eight hours of anything on youtube??? Election is over. The wrong candidate did win.

yeah yeah, that's all true - but only to America because that's where this took place, and that's where Trump is relevant.

so your point is moot. this is boards.IE in IRELAND have you forgotten?

why does everyone trot out the "most powerful man in the world" ****e when defending their hatred of the US president?

it still doesnt affect us in Ireland, no matter what way you try to warp it.

You could not be more wrong. Everything this idiot says and does has a ripple affect but he doesnt understand this. How many American companies at home?

Anybody who supports this clown mirrors his tendencies. Racist, misogynistic, ill informed simpletons.

As an aside as a proud member of the Newseum here recently I saw someone with a MAGA hat there. Spoke volumes.

Chap shouldn't have put his hands near her. If a Fox reporter had done this liberals would be losing their minds that a man had asserted his physical power over a woman. Liberal reporter does it and they all scream 'doctored footage'. Yawn.

Course when Obama found someone's behavior objectionable (trans women shouting out that he should stop deporting LBGQ immigrants) everyone started chanting 'Obama, Obama, Obama'. Hypocrites.

About sums it up for me........

African Americans who support Trump sums it up for anyone with a working brain.

You have to wonder about the intelligence of the people using the InfoWars, edited version of the video to say there was an assault.

I include the White House and Sanders in that too for using InfoWars version. Mortification isn't the word.

I don't see an assault here.

So then you do see the white house press secretary lying about an assault?
Would you also see something seriously wrong about that?
