Fran Lebowitz: 'I regret that everyone misinterpreted' comment that Trump should be murdered by the Saudis
by John Gage
| May 18, 2019 12:21 AM
Fran Lebowitz, a liberal author and public speaker, said she regrets her Friday comment that Trump should be handed over to the Saudis to be murdered like journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
“Whenever I think about this, and what he really deserves, I think we should turn him over to the Saudis, his buddies, the same Saudis who got rid of that reporter. Maybe they could do the same for him,†Lebowitz said on HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher.â€

Trump 'deserves' Khashoggi treatment, Maher guest Fran Lebowitz says before backpedaling

Was there ever a time in recent memory when the assassination of a sitting President was so casually and frequently discussed?

I thought she died in a kiln explosion.

It is all about inconsistency and hypocrisy.
The Left yells "Hate Speech!" about just about anything.
Saying, "I love America. I love Jesus!" is definitely their definition of 'Hate Speech!'
These guys, the Leftists, run around calling for the death of people,
incarcerations with no trial, invoking a fascist State every day.
But in their world, in their own heads, they can never speak 'hate speech'. It is the same mentality that says that openly, obviously, and viciously racist Black people cannot be racist because they are too, well, "special" to ever be racist.
In the bubble world Liberal mind, they believe themselves to be so 'utterly correct' that even when they spew Hate and Violence openly, it is never 'Hate'. It is always for the Leftist 'just cause', which is domination over everything. To them, this is never hate. They want to kill you because they love you, in their own warped mentality. This is the mindset of any abuser.
They really are, in every measurable way, the new Nazi Party. They are the Fourth Reich. And the American Jews love it.

In case she did not, with this mug, she should endeavor to try harder, as it would improve the entire environment

@dfwgator
Who is that guy?

She's a writer. She should be able to express herself clearly. In this case, I doubt anyone misunderstood her. She said she wants the president murdered. There is no other reasonable interpretation.

@mountaineer
A competent writer knows his/her words "mean things"so the writer "thinks" before writing. I don't know what type of subjects she writes about, but in this case, she must have had a "brain" problem, not thinking how this writing would affect people. I have written a book, 284 pages and have gone over every sentence in it numerous times to make sure it is clear without brain stumbles on my part.

That was her older sister, Fawn.
Yet, it would appear that the pot she was making flew at rather high speed and struck Fran squarely in the face.

A bit. But the first quote that came to my mind looking at her is 'its always such a pleasure to see you, Mr West.'

You are correct. She was a 20 year old sophomore at Emily Dickinson College, in nearby Wounded Deer, Massachusetts. A sociology major from Fort Wayne, Indiana, she was tragically killed in a kiln explosion, while firing a pot in the new kiln in Sylvia Plath Hall on campus.

Had to be her aunt, Fawn Leibowitz. After all, Animal House took place in 1962.

From the article:
Lebowitz apologized later in the show after producers alerted Maher that the comments had caused "blowback" on Twitter.
"I didn't realize that I had said it. I had 12 cups of coffee. I regret saying it," Lebowitz said. "I did not mean that and I regret saying it. I regret that everyone misinterpreted it."
Ok Fran, help me out here...do you regret you said something really stupid while being overcaffeinated, or are you saying the audience couldn't think their way out of a paper bag, or both?
For the benefit of Maher attendees, exactly what was there to "misinterpret" about what you said? Seemed pretty clear to me that you want Trump murdered, but you backtracked after the producers of the show saw the immediate blowback from your vile and disgusting remarks.

Re "Sylvia Plath Hall" - LOL. That is just one of the hidden jokes in that wonderful film. If you don't get it, Google how the depressive poetess Ms. Plath met her demise.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_a_President_(2006_film)?scrlybrkr=49eb78e4
Death of a President is a 2006 British docudrama political thriller film about the fictional assassination of George W. Bush, the 43rd and at the time, incumbent U.S. President, on 19 October 2007 in Chicago, Illinois. The film is presented as a future history docudrama and uses actors, archival video footage as well as computer-generated special effects to present the hypothetical aftermath the event had on civil liberties, racial profiling, journalistic sensationalism and foreign policy

That was her much better looking sister Fawn.

And of course, Maher and his crew let her completely off the hook for that ridiculous "misinterpret" comment in a way they'd never do for a conservative.

Yeah. Bush 43.
(I haven't read the thread yet, that may have already been mentioned. Apologies in advance.)

Well,since it was a British film the US government can't do much about it.
Did it ever air in the US?

@Right_in_Virginia
Well,my memory sucks even more than usual due to chemo brain,but I SEEM to remember a couple of prominent public utterances similar to that being spewed when Boy Jorge was President,but I also SEEM to remember there were a few arrests and criminal charges filed in court over them.
Does anyone know if the goobermint has arrested or filed formal charges against any of those who have threatened Trump? If it has happened,I either don't remember it or just didn't see it.

Ok,thanks. Do you think that is because they were feeble-minded unknowns?
Were any of them semi-prominent or prominent public people? Not important enough for you to look it up if you can't remember. Just something I am curious about.

Feeble-minded unknowns. It's why I can't recall a specific example off the top of my head. :shrug:

Nor is there any valid reason for you to be able to remember their names. "Low-hanging fruit only suitable for attracting attention so zealots can use it as a base to expand their agenda" is what it really is.
The US equivalent of Muslim suicide bombers. They just sacrifice their freedoms instead of their actual lives.

She explained herself very clearly. We all know there was no misinterpretation.
All she’s doing right now is trying to avoid the Secret Service knocking at her to to have a little chat.

I know for a fact the Secret Service travelled to the Du Pont Circle offices of DU more than once because of threats made by members of David (Skinner) Allen’s little website against W.

Not that I'm aware of. IIRC the Secret Service guys came with a warrant to look at the servers to obtain the real names and addresses of the members who made the threats.

The SS probably just did a wholesale sweep of the databases and Skinner had no idea who they were fingering.

Prosecutor: Woman admits threatening to kill Trump
AP News (https://www.apnews.com/abebe6e8a86f45a78e26292d7bd1e73f)
WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia woman has acknowledged that she threatened to kill President Donald Trump.
A prosecutor said Monday that 25-year-old Taryn Corrinne Henthorn of Middlebourne pleaded guilty in federal court in Wheeling. Authorities say Henthorn made the threat on Facebook and elsewhere in January.
Henthorn faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine at sentencing.
No sentencing date was immediately set.

I don't know why that would make them nervous. Seemed to me that everybody there seemed to work for the government in one department or another anyway.
I registered there and made one mild reply to one post,and was banned before anyone could even answer and was told the equivalent of "we don't want your type here."

I think the actual threat was deleted. She sounded like a real head case from the rest of her FB posts.
