CNN Reporter Criticizes President’s ‘Self-Congratulation’ On Coronavirus Response, Trump Slaughters Him

CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond criticized President Trump for what he called “ self-congratulation ” over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and quickly regretted it .
Diamond took umbrage with the President showing a video montage of the media ’ s reprehensible coverage during the crisis and providing a timeline of the actual steps he ’ s taken to protect the American people .
“ Today we hit the grim milestone of more than 40,000 Americans now having died from the coronavirus , ” the reporter began .
“ Can you explain then why you come out here and you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clips of praise for you and for your administration ?
Is this really the time for self-congratulation ?
” he asked .
Diamond must be under the impression that to make it at CNN you have to really pull out all of the stops .
So he went Acosta-lite on the President .
“ Well , I will tell you this , what I ’ m doing is I ’ m standing up for the men and women that have done such an incredible job , ” Trump fired back .
“ Those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continued .
“ I ’ m also sticking up for doctors and nurses and military doctors and nurses.
” Diamond interjected once again , but Trump , focused like a laserbeam , moved forward with his argument , excoriated CNN as “ fake news ” and told the reporter he was sorely lacking in a major area .
This is actually a bit of a self-own on Diamond ’ s part .
If Trump is setting the record straight and that comes off to him as self-congratulatory that means two things : • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • Actual facts are a positive for the President .
“ Those people [ administration , doctors , and nurses ] have been just absolutely excoriated by some of the fake news like you .
You ’ re CNN .
You ’ re fake news , ” Trump fumed .
“ And let me just tell you , they were excoriated by people like you that don ’ t know any better because you don ’ t have the brains you were born with .
You should be praising the people that have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what you do , ” he continued .

“ This is not happy talk .

“ Regardless of political differences , I would never wish any harm on anyone.

It was a good effort at righting the ship , but Santiago ’ s intentions or borderline wishes were quite clear .

She claimed those beachgoers value money over health despite the fact that they remain under social distancing restrictions.
“Packed beaches should work nicely to thin the ranks of Trump/DeSantis/Gimenez supporters in [Florida] who value money over health,” Santiago conveyed.
She Didn’t Mean It
Following a flurry of online criticism, Santiago deleted the tweets and did what most liberals do – blamed you for misinterpreting her intentions.

Yeah, but you did.
Santiago went on to claim that she was merely trying to save those lives by pointing out the error of their ways.
In fact, my intent was to sound an alarm about prematurely opening up the country and the state.

It was a good effort at righting the ship, but Santiago’s intentions or borderline wishes were quite clear.
She later doubled down with another tweet, posting an image meant to publicly shame a group of Ford Mustang enthusiasts who were congregating in a parking lot. The angle of the photo makes it difficult to say whether or not they were all maintaining proper distancing rules.
The image showed what Santiago claimed was “the [Miami Lakes] version of stupid” whom she claimed were “the red-hatted listening to their masters.”
Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, who has warned that citizens will start engaging in civil unrest if their freedoms continue to be restricted, called the Miami Herald reporter “grotesque” and “a genuine embarrassment.”

A Trend
In case you are wondering, Santiago’s sentiments aren’t an anomaly. They’re a trend.
Last month, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin made the ghoulish hopeful prediction that more Republicans will die from coronavirus than Democrats.
Jennifer Rubin wishes more Republicans die of coronavirus than Democrats.
This isn’t surprising once you consider that in August 2019 she also wished that the Republican Party should be “burned down” and that there were no “survivors”

More recently, David Zurawik, a media critic for the Baltimore Sun, appeared on CNN to tell Trump voters “now your loved ones can die.”

On Saturday , NPR Weekend Edition host Scott Simon implied twice that President Donald Trump ’ s recent tweets about liberating states from government shutdowns due to the coronavirus crisis might encourage “ armed insurrection.

Said Omar in a statement, “The coronavirus crisis is more than just a public health crisis—it’s an economic crisis. Minnesotans are losing jobs, getting their hours reduced and struggling just to put food on the table. We must take major action to protect the health and economic security of the most vulnerable, including the millions of Americans currently at risk of housing instability and homelessness.”
So, let’s turn the entire American housing system into a socialist quagmire.
She went on: “Congress has a responsibility to step in to stabilize both local communities and the housing market during this time of uncertainty and crisis. In 2008, we bailed out Wall Street. This time, it’s time to bail out the American people who are suffering.”
“Step in to stabilize.” Translation: Come in to take over.

Then perhaps they shouldn’t have come here at all, eh Mr. Minister? Perhaps you may want to exert some control over your own borders.
Omar also called for Congress’ virus relief package to include so-called “mixed-status” families, which would include illegal aliens. “It is absurd and cruel that a taxpaying, mixed status [sic] couple or family could be excluded from this relief,” said Omar.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-21--Trump To Biased Reporter: ‘We’re Gonna Win In A Landslide’

During the White House Press Briefing on the Wuhan Coronavirus , Yamiche Alcindor , a White House correspondent for PBS , asked the President – in so many words – to admit to the country that it ’ s his fault people have died from the COVID-19 because he didn ’ t wear a mask on TV , and that he , as Commander in Chief , did not act early enough to fight the Wuhan Virus .
Alcindor ’ s first attempt to attack the President was met with Trump saying , “ A lot of people love Trump.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the upcoming presidential election , saying he ’ s there for a reason , meaning the podium , as he won the presidency in 2016 , proving many people like him .
Alcindor is not one of those people , and this is not the duo ’ s first rodeo .
The President told PBS reporter Alcindor that he thinks he ’ s going to win the next election .
“ I think we ’ re gon na win again , ” Trump said , “ I think we ’ re gon na @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blame the President for people dying from the Wuhan coronavirus , how do you expect him to respond ?
Give me a break .
The leftist media hates this President and they aren ’ t even hiding during a world pandemic .
Alcindor , who told Seth Myers earlier this month that she considers herself a civil rights reporter , was praised by the likes of higher-ups at Twitter ( shocking ) , including Lara Cohen , Global Partnerships Solutions lead at the tech giant , Twitter .
Cohen also retweeted this gem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in various states : Of course liberal never-Trumpers praised Alcindor for putting the President in his place because he said he hadn ’ t left the house even though he held a rally in March .
He blows right by the question because he knows exactly what he ’ s doing .
He ’ s trolling , they think they “ got him good !

During the White House Press Briefing on the Wuhan Coronavirus, Yamiche Alcindor, a White House correspondent for PBS, asked the President – in so many words – to admit to the country that it’s his fault people have died from the COVID-19 because he didn’t wear a mask on TV, and that he, as Commander in Chief, did not act early enough to fight the Wuhan Virus.
Alcindor’s first attempt to attack the President was met with Trump saying, “A lot of people love Trump.”
Journalists’ heads proceeded to explode on Twitter.
.@Yamiche relays a story of someone who went to a funeral for a family member in mid-March, said they went partly bc the president wasn't wearing a mask, taking it that seriously. Trump responds by starting out: "And a lot of people love Trump, right?" — Kathryn Watson (@kathrynw5) April 20, 2020

The President continued by talking about the upcoming presidential election, saying he’s there for a reason, meaning the podium, as he won the presidency in 2016, proving many people like him. Alcindor is not one of those people, and this is not the duo’s first rodeo.
The President told PBS reporter Alcindor that he thinks he’s going to win the next election. “I think we’re gonna win again,” Trump said, “I think we’re gonna win in a landslide.”

When you blame the President for people dying from the Wuhan coronavirus, how do you expect him to respond? Give me a break. The leftist media hates this President and they aren’t even hiding during a world pandemic.
Alcindor, who told Seth Myers earlier this month that she considers herself a civil rights reporter, was praised by the likes of higher-ups at Twitter (shocking), including Lara Cohen, Global Partnerships Solutions lead at the tech giant, Twitter.
Cohen also retweeted this gem, mocking people who protested government overreach in various states:
I mean you have to admit it's hilarious that the people who have spent their entire lives stockpiling beans & ammo and publishing newsletters about preparing to shelter in place during a global crisis are the ones having meltdowns because they can't go to the cheesecake factory. — Bill Marx for Congress (@BillforPA14) April 20, 2020
Of course liberal never-Trumpers praised Alcindor for putting the President in his place because he said he hadn’t left the house even though he held a rally in March.
Also Trump getting caught in a lie is pretty amazing to watch. Trump: "I haven't left the White House in months." @Yamiche: "You held a rally in March." pic.twitter.com/sEu1v5KTYK — Pod Save America (@PodSaveAmerica) April 20, 2020
He blows right by the question because he knows exactly what he’s doing.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-22--DC Police Say Joe Biden Is Under Investigation For Sexual Assault Claim

Washington , D.C. , police told the Washington Examiner they are investigating Joe Biden after Tara Reade accused the probable 2020 Democratic presidential nominee of sexually assaulting her in 1993 .
“ This is an active ongoing investigation and there are no further details to provide at this time , ” said a Metropolitan Police Department spokesman .
RELATED : Joe Biden On Debating Trump : ‘ I Can Hardly Wait ’ ‘ This case is progressing through the review process ’ “ Cases that are handled by the Metropolitan Police Department ’ s Sexual Assault Unit go through a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” noted Washington Examiner .
“ This case is progressing through the review process.
” This case wasn ’ t getting much attention in the mainstream media , even though they were obsessed with similar allegations made against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation .
The Examiner highlighted experts who said this investigation was unusual because the statute of limitations has run out .
Reade claims she was assaulted in 1993 by the former vice president , a time when she was working in his Senate .
Reade filed with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in which she declared “ she was the victim of a sexual assault which was committed by Subject-2 in 1993.
” “ Reade , 56 , said that she filed an incident report for ‘ safety reasons , ’ for the purpose of establishing a paper trail in case ‘ something happened to me , ’ and to show that she is serious about her allegation since it is illegal to make a false police report , ” The Examiner explained .
“ Since coming forward with her allegations against Biden , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she told the Washington Examiner.
” Reade also said she wants other women who might have had the same experience with Biden to come forward .
“ There is a mechanism for them to remain anonymous by going to the D.C. Metro Police , or they can direct them to their law enforcement , ” she explained .
Experts Weigh In On Why Case Might Not Have Closed Experts told the Examiner there might be reasons why the case wasn ’ t closed immediately .
“ Sometimes they receive information that is never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but nonetheless , does invoke some of their obligations as public safety officials , ” said Wendy Murphy , a professor of sexual violence law at New England Law , Boston .
“ One former officer , who spent years on the force in Washington and spoke to the Washington Examiner on the condition of anonymity because he now works as a consultant for various police departments around the country , said the move struck him as out-of-the-ordinary , ” the Examiner noted .
The source continued : “ I wouldn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this for that long , maybe just take a report and close it out .
It would also automatically be closed , they wouldn ’ t spend time investigating something they can ’ t prosecute.
” “ I ’ m sure the D.C. PD has plenty of work without creating it , ” he or she added .
“ Obviously it ’ s a very high-profile case , so high-profile cases get a lot more attention unfortunately than if the victim or offender wasn ’ t a known public figure.
” “ In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t expect them to proceed on something that had no chance of getting prosecution ” the person said .

‘This case is progressing through the review process’
“Cases that are handled by the Metropolitan Police Department’s Sexual Assault Unit go through a multi-review prior to being assigned a disposition,” noted Washington Examiner. “This case is progressing through the review process.”
This case wasn’t getting much attention in the mainstream media, even though they were obsessed with similar allegations made against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation.
The Examiner highlighted experts who said this investigation was unusual because the statute of limitations has run out.

Team Biden 2020 is denying the charge.
Reade filed with a Washington police report on April 9 in which she declared “she was the victim of a sexual assault which was committed by Subject-2 in 1993.”
Reade has confirmed Biden is “Subject-2.”

Reade also said she wants other women who might have had the same experience with Biden to come forward.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-21--McCain Breaks With Liberal TV Talk Show Herd, Claims Trump Just Bested Pelosi With New Video

The ladies on The View disagreed about a video produced by the 2020 Trump campaign that called out Nancy Pelosi and her two refrigerators filled with ice cream .
The optics were terrible , especially with millions of out of work Americans not receiving unemployment payments as of yet .
The ad with Pelosi and her wolf refrigerators freezers ( filled with ridiculously expensive ice cream ) that she unashamedly gloats over , juxtaposed with images and clips of hard-hit Americans who are hurting , sickens me .
RELATED : Meghan McCain Defends Out-Of-Work Protesters On ‘ The View ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Terrorists ’ It ’ s even made me agree with Meghan McCain , who rarely defends President Trump on that show , but she is spot on about this .
Just remember people , the progressive heads led by Nancy Pelosi , Chuck Schumer , with Barack Obama in the background care nothing about you and your family .

You folks know you ’ ve got much more capable people than her .
Nancy is out of touch with people who do not have anything to eat because they lost their jobs due to COVID-19 , and she has her freezer stocked with more ice cream than most people buy in a year .

“ You ’ re right , Joy , politicians are wealthy , Trump is wealthy , but I think in this specific moment , optics are narratives .
