Drive-By Media Couldn’t Go Whole Day Without Ripping Trump

Jun 7, 2019




RUSH: Sound bite number 1 is a montage of the media unable to go the full day yesterday without ripping Trump. You know, they praised his great speech at Normandy, but then he did the interview with Laura Ingraham and started calling Pelosi insane and a lunatic with the cemetery in the background, and they’re just outraged. We’ll go ahead and play it. This is the Drive-By Media criticizing Trump for ripping Pelosi and Mueller with the Normandy cemetery as the backdrop.

AMANDA CARPENTER: You look at the shot (dramatic pause) and what I see, just as an American, is a draft-dodging president using the graves of World War soldiers who saved the world from Nazis as a prop.

JOHN HEILEMANN: Mr. President, do you recognize what our backdrop is here?

DONNY DEUTSCH: (background noise) We can’t normalize this! He’s despicable. He is a despicable human being.

HEIDI PRZYBYLA: (background noise) The White House, they arranged the interviews and they arranged the backdrop!

EUGENE ROBINSON: (background noise) Look at that backdrop. It’s just, uh, appalling.

LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: He used soldiers’ graves as a backdrop to attack Robert Mueller and Nancy Pelosi!

JULIAN ZELIZER: He speaks about Robert Mueller, who served in the U.S. Armed Forces, and using that as a backdrop…

CHRISTINE ROMANS: …against the backdrop of the fallen soldiers at D-Day, really bucking all decorum.

DOUG BRINKLEY: …to sit with the backdrop of the graves of our fallen heroes and to act like a used-car salesman…

JAKE TAPPER: The president, seeming to not fully comprehend the sacred ground on which he stood…

BRIAN WILLIAMS: (whispering) It’s sacred, hallowed ground! The president came so close to having a good day.

RUSH: Ha-ha-ha. Brian Williams there at the end. Now, folks, you know, it’s… I know what your reaction is. These people don’t care where they are. I mean, they have been in the house of God-d. They have been at the Washington National Cathedral during the funeral for McCain, and what was that? That was a bash-Trump sermon, a series of bash-Trump eulogies, from the house of God, using the house of God as a backdrop. “How insensitive. How outrageous!” We have to mention all of the times?

I mean, Trump never escapes this kind of character assassination no matter where the Democrats are. In addition, Trump didn’t choose the backdrop. Everybody was there. There was even an original story that went out. The lovely and gracious Hallie Jackson of NBC News tweeted out that Trump delayed the start of the Normandy ceremony so that he could do an interview with Fox News. (paraphrased) “Trump kept everybody waiting so that he could do the interview with Fox.” Let me see if I can find that — and it was a tweet. It got retweeted all over the place.

Here is her tweet: “French television cameras spotted President Trump sitting down with Fox’s Laura Ingraham — fourteen minutes *after* the ceremony in Normandy was set to begin. Thousands of people waited as an announcement overhead came on, declaring the program would be delayed until 11:15a.” It turns out Trump wasn’t the reason for the delay. He had finished the interview and he was just waiting for (dadelut dadelut dadelut) that little French tyrant to show up, “Macaroni.”

“Macaroni” was late, not Trump. So Hallie Jackson sends out a correction tweet: “As @JonLemire notes: from pool’s vantage point, the president appeared to be done and ready before Macron arrived, at which point ceremony began.” So 4,000 retweets of this thing. It’s all over the world that Trump is this ogre — this self-absorbed, egotistical, maniacal guy — who kept the Normandy ceremony from beginning so he could do a Fox interview. And it turns out, he was there and waiting and the Fox interview was over.

It was French President Macron who was tardy — and, of course, the retweet correction is not even really a correction. It’s not heralded. It’s not nearly as widespread: 209 retweets to 4,000 retweets. These people dare and sit here and criticize Donald Trump when they have, for 2-1/2 years, done nothing but lie about the man every day? I’ll tell you something else. The White House didn’t choose the backdrop for the Laura Ingraham interview. It’s where everybody was. Everybody was at the cemetery for a ceremony!

They would have you to believe that Trump told Fox, “Look, we’re gonna do the interview at the Normandy cemetery. I’ll tell you what I’m do. I’ll arrange the Normandy ceremony so it can happen where we’re gonna put your cameras.” They really want people to believe this. Everybody was there. It was prescheduled months ago. Trump didn’t have anything to say about where the cameras were. Fox chooses this stuff. The White House may have some input in it, but where were they gonna go?

They’re in the cemetery, and that’s where the interview took place because that’s where the ceremony was taking place! This is so much ado about nothing. But I’ll tell you, the snarkiness of these people in this bite. John Heilemann: “Mr. President, do you recognize what our backdrop is here?” “We can’t normalize this. He’s despicable!” This is Donny Deutsch. “He’s despicable! He’s a despicable human being.” From people who themselves are despicable and classless, mean-spirted, extremist and clueless, all rolled into one.

So a gigantic report, gigantic tweet from Hallie Jackson at NBC News (wailing), “Donald Trump! (Sob!) He had to do this interview! He delayed the ceremony! Trump’s an ogre! Trump’s horrible.” Turns out, it wasn’t the case at all, but nobody knows — at least people who follow Twitter. Now, what really bugged ’em, what really bugged ’em was that during the interview at the Normandy cemetery, Trump just launched into Pelosi. He called her nasty, called her vindictive, called her horrible.

He described Pelosi in ways that no elected Republican has before, and that’s the reason why there is this reaction. You’re just not supposed to attack Democrats that way. It’s the Republicans that get attacked that way, and it’s Republicans that are supposed to sit there and take it if they to want stay members of the deep state. “Why, you don’t dare attack Pelosi this way, and you don’t dare do it in the cemetery with graves as the backdrop!”

Again, he did not delay the D-Day ceremony. So they’re already ticked off that Trump has ripped into Pelosi.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: By the way, the Trump backdrop at the Normandy cemetery? Didn’t those men die for the right of free speech, freedom and liberty and so forth? Didn’t they die for the right to elect a president and have him serve his full term? Huh? Huh? (interruption) Yeah.
