Hello Centerleftfl,
Part of a program which included a prayer breakfast?Originally Posted by Centerleftfl
I assume they are at least trying to verify it was shown there but so far plenty of people have said they have seen it. BUT THE MSM WON'T RUN IT? In the meantime the people who were a part of the GROUP supporting Trump and HIS PROPERTY claim they didn't know they ran it? Explain how THAT happens.
Oh yeah and JUNIOR was set to appear there. DI SANTIS, THE GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA, also scheduled to be in attendance. Maybe they went to the john while it was being shown.
Don't even try to do the plausible deniability BS here. Whether they were in the room OR NOT, they were shown the VIDEO. Bet your next breath on that. Now the MSM will have to determine if it was shown on a 'big screen' or passed around the room on phones.
Stay tuned! This isn't the end of this story either.
Macabre Video of Fake Trump Shooting Media and Critics Is Shown at His Resort

WASHINGTON — A video depicting a macabre scene of a fake President Trump shooting, stabbing and brutally assaulting members of the news media and his political opponents was shown at a conference for his supporters at his Miami resort last week, according to footage obtained by The New York Times.
Several of Mr. Trump’s top surrogates — including his son Donald Trump Jr., his former spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis — were scheduled to speak at the three-day conference, which was held by a pro-Trump group, American Priority, at Trump National Doral Miami. Ms. Sanders and a person close to Mr. Trump’s son said on Sunday that they did not see the video at the conference.
The video, which includes the logo for Mr. Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign, comprises a series of internet memes. The most violent clip shows Mr. Trump’s head superimposed on the body of a man opening fire inside the “Church of Fake News” on parishioners who have the faces of his critics or the logos of media organizations superimposed on their bodies. It appears to be an edited scene of a church massacre from the 2014 dark comedy film “Kingsman: The Secret Service.”
The disclosure that the video was played shows how Mr. Trump’s anti-media language has influenced his supporters and bled into their own propaganda. Mr. Trump has made attacks on the news media a mainstay of his presidency, and he tweeted a similar — but far less violent video — in 2017. In recent weeks as he has confronted impeachment proceedings, he has ramped up his attacks on the news media, repeatedly calling it the “enemy of the people.”
A person who attended the conference last week took a video of the clip on his phone and had an intermediary send it to a reporter for The Times. Parts of the video were posted on YouTube in 2018 by a user with a history of creating pro-Trump mash-ups.
The organizer of the event said in a statement on Sunday that the clip had been played at the conference, saying it was part of a “meme exhibit.” He denounced the video and said his organization was looking into how it was shown at the event.
“Content was submitted by third parties and was not associated with or endorsed by the conference in any official capacity,” said the organizer, Alex Phillips. “American Priority rejects all political violence and aims to promote a healthy dialogue about the preservation of free speech. This matter is under review.”
Organizers declined to say exactly where at Mr. Trump’s resort the video was shown.
A person close to Mr. Trump’s son said he was unaware that the video had been played at the conference. Ms. Sanders said she was unaware of the video’s existence until a Times reporter contacted her.
“I was there to speak at a prayer breakfast, where I spoke about unity and bringing the country together,” Ms. Sanders said. “I wasn’t aware of any video, nor do I support violence of any kind against anyone.”...

That's pretty sick.
The President is responsible for this.
What did he expect when he called the media the 'enemy of the people?'
Has anyone else noticed how Trump takes valid criticism and redirects is as an 'attack on the USA?'
He does something wrong, he gets properly criticized, and then he redirects it as an attack on America, an attack on his supporters.
Done with the skill of Saddam Hussein. Trump has learned well.
And he is on such a dark road.
