The
Democratic Party's Super PAC, a/k/a national news media, are once again
displaying their willingness to lie during their coverage of Donald
Trump's presidential campaign rally, according to former chairman of
the Forsyth County, North Carolina, GOP Nathan Tebor.
For
example, on Friday night, reporters from NBC News and CBS News reported
that Republican Party's presidential frontrunner was forced to leave
the stage during a huge rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, after he was
persistently harassed and interrupted by protesters from the racist
members of Black
Lives Matter.
According
to people who actually attended the Trump campaign appearance –
including George Scanlon, a member of the NC GOP -- "these reporters
were being deceitful and their coverage was filled with bald-faced lies."
The videotape of the real-estate magnate’s appearance confirms
that his speech ended when he wished it to end. Not only did Trump end
his speech to a rousing applause he walked among the crowd of supporters
for several minutes turning on his charismatic charm. See video below.
As
far as Black Lives Matter, there were about 25 protesters claiming to
be part of BLM who were dispersed throughout the rally. When they attempted
to shutdown Trump’s rally almost a dozen times during his 50-minute
speech, they were removed by The Donald’s personal security agents
The
auditorium was filled to capacity with a crowd totaling upwards of 7,000
who attended the Trump event in Raleigh’s Dorton Arena. While
the BLM protesters were few in number inside the arena, there were about
a hundred or so protesters picketing and shouting on the street outside
of the rally.
The
local news outlet, WRAL-TV, reported that several protesters attempted
to block the arena’s entrances in order to intimidate Trump supporters,
but those Republicans were not deterred from attending the Trump speech.
One
false news report was made by NBC reporter Katy Tur,
who is assigned to cover the Trump campaign. Tur posted to on the social
media website Twitter: “Now
10. Trump ends speech abruptly and leaves stage.”
Tur’s
report was immediately picked up by MSNBC’s
Rachel Maddow, an admitted progressive talk host who masquerades
as a newswoman, according to critics. Another mendacious report was
by CBS News’ Sopan Deb which she headlined, “Black Lives
Matter protesters cut off Donald Trump in North Carolina.”
Her
article was allegedly written with an opinion slant to embarrass Trump
over his bashing of the devout socialist and Democratic presidential
candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Trump found Sander’s
kowtowing to Black Lives Matter protesters who took over the Sanders
stage and microphone last summer.
She
reported:
“GOP
frontrunner Donald Trump abruptly ended his rally in his first visit
to the state after his speech was interrupted at least 10 times by protesters
– many of them chanting “Black Lives Matter!” as they
were escorted out.”
”But
it was Trump who ended the speech early, which was striking, given
his comments at an August press conference about fellow presidential
candidate, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who himself cut a rally short
in Seattle as a result of Black Lives Matter protesters.
“I
thought that was disgusting,” Trump said at the time. “That
showed such weakness, the way he was taken away by two young women
— the microphone. They just took the whole place over.”
“The
protesters overshadowed Trump’s escalation of some of his rhetoric
on foreign policy during his speech…”
When
the first protester spoke out, Trump used the interruption to criticize
the media covering his campaign: “You know the shame is, that
it’s one, it’s one person and the dishonest media–they
are dishonest–you don’t believe how
dishonest. They are the most, they are the most dishonest people. I
mean a big percentage of them, they are so dishonest. They are so dishonest.
They will make that one person into the headline. ‘Trump has’…they
can’t even use the plural. They can’t put the ‘s’
but they’ll figure it out. But they’ll say, “Trump
has protesters.”
Trump
may have been wrong about the number of protesters he would end up dealing
with, but he was dead right about the dishonest media.
Rachel
Maddow did a segment on her show Friday night about the Trump rally.
The headline and description at MSNBC reads:
Donald
Trump ends speech after 10 protest interruptions
“Rachel
Maddow shows Republican front-runner Donald Trump being interrupted
repeatedly while speaking at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, abruptly
ending the speech after the tenth interruption. Duration: 2:13”
Maddow
said at the end of her obviously biased anti-Trump segment: “At
the end of the tenth interruption, Mr. Trump ended his speech and walked
off the stage.”
Video
of Trump’s speech (attached) shows that after “the last
question” (as stated by the Trump staffer with the crowd mic)
from the crowd was posed at the 49:45 mark, Trump spent a minute answering.
He then pivoted and went into his closing remarks:
“Ladies
and gentlemen. Ladies and gentleman, this has been such an honor. When
you…remember this, remember this…(Protester shouts) I think
he came back, I think he came back. Don’t worry about him, we’ll
do this quickly…One pe…So, that’s okay. Good job.
Good job. Individual people, but they’re all friends they all
want to make havoc.”
Trump
then resumed his closing remarks with a profound observation on the
groundswell in the country.
We
are sitting on something that’s bigger than any of us understands
or knows. I always say, “Make our country great again.”
And I’ve been say been saying for the last three weeks–because
I’ve really gotten to know the people. We are going to make our
country great again. Greater than ever before! I love you! Thank you
very much! We’re gonna make it greater than ever before! Thank
you everybody! Thank you! (Audio cut, Trump speaks one more sentence.)
Trump
did not flee the stage, but spoke for thirty seconds after the last
interruption by a screaming protester. Trump’s closing statement
rose to a crescendo and ended with the crowd clapping and cheering and
Trump uttered a number of ‘thank you’s’. There was
nothing abrupt or forced about the end of the speech.
And
far from “leaving the stage” due to the protesters, Trump
mingled with the audience after the speech. He spent several minutes
shaking hands, signing autographs and posing for pictures with supporters
as he has done at other rallies.
According
to the YouTube video, Trump spoke for about 50:35, putting the speech
in the ballpark range of his other campaign speeches. Trump’s
voice was weak and scratchy throughout the speech.
NBC’s
Tur also incorrectly reported the length of the speech, putting it at
49 minutes.
NBC’s
Ali Vitali also posted a report, to NBC, in which he too made it seem
the protesters forced Trump to cut short his appearance:
Trump
Interrupted Ten Times at North Carolina Rally
”The
first interruption came mere minutes into Trump’s remarks to a
full house of nearly 8,000, and they continued periodically until Trump’s
abrupt exit from the stage.”
”The
candidate, whose usual bellow was replaced by a rasp that sounded like
the start of a cold, ended his rally-turned-town-hall suddenly and earlier
than usual. The full event lasted less than an hour, a rarity for a
candidate who usually stumps for at least an hour and who spoke and
took questions for almost two hours a few nights earlier in Manassas,
Virginia.”
“The
news media attempting to tarnish Trump’s image should come as
no surprise. But what is troubling is that top members of the Republican
National Committee are also trying to torpedo his nomination especially
since he continues to hold the frontrunner spot,” said political
strategist Michael Baker.
“Trump
is fighting against the liberal-left political establishment which has
little use for truth. He’s also fighting against members of his
own political party who wish to see someone such as Jeb Bush get the
nod. And to top it off, Trump is also fighting against the majority
of news organizations that serve as the Democrats’ Super PAC,”
Baker noted.
According
to people who actually attended the Trump campaign appearance –
including George Scanlon, a member of the NC GOP -- "these reporters
were being deceitful and their coverage was filled with bald-faced lies."
The videotape of the real-estate magnate’s appearance confirms that
his speech ended when he wished it to end.
