Trump’s DOJ Speech: A Reckoning for the Deep State and a Media Meltdown › American Greatness
Roger Kimball
What did you think of Donald Trump’s speech at the Department of Justice on Friday? It was one of those speeches that divides the world. I liked it. But even while watching it, I asked myself, “Gosh. What is The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, the Associated Press, etc., going to make of this?”
Actually, I did not ask myself that because I knew they would explode in horrified rage. The Times, for example, carried a trembling story under the headline “Trump’s Grievance-Filled Speech Makes Clear His Quest for Vengeance Is Personal.” In case that wasn’t clear enough, a subhead explained that “The sole offense of those President Trump singled out in remarks at the Justice Department appeared to have been trying to hold him accountable for his actions.” Oh really?
Just to show how dispassionate the Times is about Donald Trump, we learn from his byline that Alan Feuer, the reporter who wrote this cri de coeur, “covers extremism and political violence for The Times, focusing on the criminal cases involving the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and against former President Donald J. Trump.”
Extremism, eh? Political violence, you say? According to Feuer, Trump’s address was “a grievance-filled attack on the very people who have worked in the building and others like them. As he singled out some targets of his rage, he appeared to offer his own vision of justice in America, one defined by personal vengeance rather than by institutional principles.”
