Metaphor Amnesia? Morning Joe Calls Trump an 'Animal,' Ready to 'Lash Out'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/18/2024 3:36:50 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

When Donald Trump referred to the illegal immigrant accused of killing 22-year-old Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus as an "animal," the liberal media went aflame with outrage.

Thus on MSNBC, Joy Reid condemned Trump's "dehumanizing and degrading" language [see clip at 2:00.]

So, surely, no one on MSNBC would ever use the a-for-animal word in describing Donald Trump!

Oh, wait. On today's Morning Joe, Mara Gay, an MSNBC analyst and member of the editorial board of the New York Times, said of Trump:

"He's like a caged animal. And that's a dangerous situation. He's feeling very threatened. He's out of control. And so we do expect him to lash out."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Calling the illegal alien wo murdered Laken Riley an “animal” is horrible!

But okay for an MSNBC/NYT person to call Trump an animal who is dangerous and expected to lash out.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

“...the liberal media went aflame with outrage.”

Okay, so how does the liberal media describe the murderous animal?

Nice guy? Scarred by white supremacy? Should be given a second chance, a pension?

Is that little piece of fluff that sits next to him *that* good that he willingly go off the rails as he has? And for that matter I wonder if that piece of fluff sleeps with one eye open. Enquiring minds want to know!

I just read the NewsBusters piece. These people’s lives are meaningless without President Trump. They are consumed by him.

“He’s like a caged animal. And that’s a dangerous situation. He’s feeling very threatened. He’s out of control. And so we do expect him to lash out.”

And, despite all this libturd over-the-top hysteria, just HOW do they think he can “lash out” other than verbally or via legal processes? He commands no army. He oversees no police force. The US Secret Service is always next to him.

I do, though, love how he is living in their heads, rent-free...especially that a$$clown Joe.

I doubt the Lefties realize the significance of what they are doing when they objectify/dehumanize Trump and his followers.

This kind of ritual behavior is an ancient and rather standard procedure for removing the guilt in advance of murdering your otherwise innocent adversaries.

The dehumanization of “us” by the Left scares the hell out of me. I think what we are witnessing is a prelude to great violence (inflicted by the Left).

I seriously doubt it. He is well paid to be such a jerk. Much of it is likely due to natural talent.

You mean Mika, the semi-inflatable flotation device bimbo?

Notice ladies:
Democrats have a hierarchy of victimhood, the higher you are the more pandering and protection you get. Women are rock bottom. Trannies, gays, terrorists, murderers, all of them are WAY above women. Basically they know they can say “we want the trannies to steal your trophies and invade your spaces, we are good with illegals murdering you, we think it’s fine if Hollywood abuses they hell out of you.... wait, are you upset about that? Abortion!” and they have their support no matter what.
