Former (and increasingly likely, next) First Lady Melania Trump watched live as an assassin’s bullet came within less than an inch of tearing into her husband’s brain. Next, she got the chilling news that just eight weeks later, an assassin was lying in wait for her husband as he played a round of golf. Next, she got the news that there are potentially more assassination teams in our nation hunting her husband.
And yet, with all of that, it’s not the least bit surprising to learn that far-left, self-absorbed, entitled, entirely out of touch with real-life “journalists” such as CNN’s Christiane Amanpour are offended that Melania Trump rightfully assigns some of the blame for these assassination attempts to the vile, incendiary, and indoctrinating insults and accusations so many on the left have leveled at former President Donald Trump since 2015. Words matter, and Melania Trump has been forced to witness the horrifying effect of some of those words firsthand.
While the far-left media elites living in bubbles of comfort and protection always want to make every story about them, let’s step back for just a second and interject a bit of reality that every normal human being will instantly understand. Let’s put politics and far-left unethical journalism aside for just a minute and view this case in its proper context. If we do, it simply comes down to a wife watching her husband come within millimeters of being executed on live television and losing him and the father of their child…forever. That’s it.
Indeed, within the red haze of hate for former President Trump that seemingly envelops her mind, Ms. Amanpour — and the army of feckless “journalists” like her — can still grasp that concept. Be it a husband who was almost executed, or a wife, a son, a daughter, or a close friend, basic human emotion and decency is still basic human emotion and decency.
Unless it seems that you are a Trump hater from the left.
Most normal people with normal emotions would cut the husband’s wife almost executed on live television slack with varying degrees of grace and empathy. But again, not Ms. Amanpour or the many like her from the left who either enable or throw about these wild accusations and charges against former President Trump and then have the audacity to claim that their words could not have possibly activated an already sick and twisted mind into deadly action.
So, what exactly angered Ms. Amanpour?
During an exclusive interview with Fox & Friends, former First Lady Melania Trump spoke to the recent assassination attempts against her husband while calling it in part: “…really shocking that all this egregious violence goes against my husband. Especially when we hear the leaders from the opposition party and mainstream media branding him as a threat to democracy, calling him vile names, they are only fueling a toxic atmosphere and giving power to all of these people that they want to harm him. This needs to stop. This needs to stop. The country needs to unite.”
Amen, Melania Trump. All normal Americans with normal human decency applaud your words and sympathize with your genuinely traumatic experience.
And yet those deeply personal and common-sense words spoken by a wife who was terrified she may have just lost her husband have seemingly set off Ms. Amanpour, who posted on X: “Mrs. Trump is mistaken, political violence is not the fault of the ‘mainstream media,’ and I wish she would take back this false and dangerous accusation.”
Take back her “false and dangerous accusation.” Are you kidding me?
Seriously, in what alternate universe of reality does Ms. Amanpour reside? Does she not know that many in her “profession” have openly labeled themselves as part of the “resistance” against Trump? Does she not read the words some of them continually write and speak, comparing former President Trump to “Hitler,” a “dictator,” and a “totalitarian” who will “crush democracy.” Does she truly not believe that such words could set off a troubled mind?
Why is Ms. Amanpour not calling out those in her own profession who have leveled these completely false, ugly, and truly inflammatory words at President Trump for almost a decade? Literally thousands and thousands of words of unhinged hate directed at the former president by those who pretend to be in the “news” business.
I have two suggestions for Ms. Amanpour. The first is that she offers Melania Trump a full and heartfelt apology. Next, she purchased the memoir “Melania,” which the former First Lady has just authored. Within that book, Ms. Amanpour will learn valuable lessons regarding struggle, grace, class, humility, honesty, and basic human decency.
Lessons many in her profession turned their backs on long ago.
CNN is leftists Propaganda not news that’s the way it is with the rest of the M.S. Media Bottom Feeders
Who listens to CNN they are almost nonexistent in the E/U. Hell! I wouldn’t watch or listen to them giving a weather report because it would be based on the gobble cabal of Global Warming agenda. Baseless hysteria / for a transitional cyclical coherency.
Amanpour better the Bush administration to get rid of the Afghan Talibani government, because they were torturing women. To death.
Night after night she had CNN run the video of Muslim women being humiliated, tortured and SHOT (!) in the Kabul soccer stadium.
After Bush finally EID eliminate the Talibani government, she reverted to cursing him again.
She owes Bush an apology.
Melania Trump can get in line.
It will be a long wait…
Corrections: begged for better, & DID for EID
The legacy media no longer has journalism, it has funder rhetoric.
Christian Amanpour could find anything (or do anything heartfelt) with two hands and a flashlight.
Typo and correction: “couldn’t”
Christiane Ananpour is what Vanessa Redgrave would have been if she’d been a journalist instead of an actor- obnoxious, oozing hate and OBVIOUS bias from every pore and covering it with pretentious “Received Pronunciation” BBC English.
Amanpour is a long time rationalizer for those who hate America and Israel
In other words, a Leftist.
Amanpour owes every Jew, intellectual and truth seeker an apology. She’s a rabid pro-Hamas, pro-Iran, pro-Islamic terror promoter. She can only be coddled on the Left based on their intersectionality. The left previewed this by their love affair with the ‘diverse’ Helen Thomas. The bigotry and anti-Semitism of the Left has been on display for decades.
I don’t understand why the media enjoys the constitutional protections that they receive when they are not news media, they are political actin committees and should be legally treated as such..
Why does Amanpour (or other left-wing “journalists” in the Main-Stream-Media) not think that their incendiary remarks are… well, incendiary and incite and invite violence against Trump.
It can be explained in two parts: 1) “they do not think” and 2) Trump Derangement Syndrome.
If someone used such incendiary verbiage against the spouse of any of the TV commentators, well, there would be a typhoon of angry recriminations.
However, since Trump is the target, all of the arrow slinging tongues are allowed to take pot shots.
It is understandable that these so-called reporters don’t realize that they are doing what they would consider unforgivable if the same thing were being done by others.
Why? Well, because being college educated they are most likely insensitive. And being graduates of Journalism Schools, they are probably insensate. And, finally, they see President Trump as the parent they’d love to hate, and the employer they couldn’t stand.
She and her ilk, are the ones being outraged, demanding safe spaces, comfort dogs, colouring books, hot chocolate…to defend themselves from unconscious bias, misuse of pronouns, trigger warnings. Life shattering verbal injuries that destroy people who “identify” as a Furry or have no gender at all…all because somebody did not follow their demanded script and use the only acceptable speech or suffer actual verbal and physical attacks and destruction of somebody’s life.
Speech is so powerful that it will kill somebody if you call them by their actual gender correctly…yet the most powerful politicians on the left literally call for Republicans to be attacked when they are seen and peacefully engaged in their lives at a restaurant. They insist that THIS speech is not harmful, nor will it inflame others into action?? Funny how that works?
Have you forgotten what Amanpour did to her own husband, Madeline—what me Jewish?—Albright’s toady, the pathetic Jamie Rubin?
