This is the moment that Donald Trump threatens an ABC reporter after they asked about free speech. Speaking with ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Tuesday (16 September), the president appeared to become annoyed after the reporter asked him about Pam Bondi’s crackdown on “hate speech”. “A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech,” Mr Karl said, to which Mr Trump responded: “She’d probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart.” After slamming ABC, the president claimed that he “wants everything to be fair” and placed blame with the “radical left who have done tremendous damage to the country”.
It’s the propaganda they have been exposed to. They believe what they are told but have a very difficult time walking through any logic that got them there (hint: there isn’t any) especially in the face of facts. They will usually deny any facts that do not lead to their conclusion.
Ask a Trump supporter what core American values he upholds and you can almost hear their mind grinding gears.
