Female Voters Push Back Against CNN Over Trump’s ‘Racist’ Tweets
The Epoch Times ^ | 07-17-19 | ZACHARY STIEBER

Posted on 07/17/2019 9:09:59 AM PDT by McQ444

Eight women pushed back when CNN tried characterizing President Donald Trump’s recent tweets as definitively racist. The cable news network, which is openly against President Trump, has been calling the tweets racist without prefacing them with “allegedly.” After the House of Representatives voted late July 16 to condemn Trump’s “racist tweets,” Anderson Cooper aired a segment showing eight pro-Trump women in Dallas. Asked if what Trump said was not racist, all eight raised their hands.

But we are also told that anybody, ANYBODY who supports Trump is also a racist, so of course racist Trump supporters would think that racist Trump's comments weren't racist.

If cnn didn’t have a monopoly lock on airport tv screens they would have no viewers at all. Every once in a while I inadvertently see something on an airport tv and am then forced to go to the restroom.

They’ve thrown the word “racist” around so spuriously that its lost all its meaning.

The CNN producer of this panel is probably clearing out his desk as we speak. Never ask a question when you don’t know the answer.

These gals were great. Maybe they lied to the producer like the Donald’s supporters lie to pollsters.

I disagree. If CNN didn't want this aired, they would bury it. Instead Anderson Pooper tweets it!

CNN picks a group that is 7 of 8 blondes, almost exclusively white. They could have easily found a black Trump supporter if they wanted one. They wanted a very white, very suburban group of women so that they can tar all Trump supporters as racists.

I don’t think so. CNN is all about advancing the narrative of the day, ie., the Donald is racist. These gals didn’t didn’t advance the narrative and didn’t come across as racists.

It would be interesting to know how these women got picked for the segment and whether a producer screened them prior to broadcast. The reporter was certainly surprised by the responses.

I disagree. Unless it was a live segment and the producers were too stupid to ask beforehand. That makes no sense.

I imagine they called an RNC office and asked if they could get about 20 women for a panel interview about Trump. They then eliminated any black or brown skin from the panel and then asked them ahead of time if they voted for Trump and still planned to vote for Trump.

Then they brought in 8-10 of the whitest, blondest women and asked them if what he tweeted was racist. Maybe the answer surprised them but I suspect it didn’t. Then the newsbabe trots out the definition of racist (which isn’t quite what the liberals mean by racist) and asks them again. Still, nobody takes the bait.

I assure you that CNN saw this as an opportunity to paint ALL Trump supporters as out-of-touch white nationalists so as to dismiss or marginalize all Trump supporters. They went to Dallas, of all places, to find these women. If they wanted a more liberal group, they would have gone to Cleveland or Pittsburgh or Roanoke. Going to Dallas to find Trump supporters just adds to the stereotype they want to portray.

Yep. There’s something strange about this segment. It doesn’t add up. It would be interesting to know what CNN was thinking.

I would guess that they went to the heart of Trump territory hoping to find defectors.

“They wanted a very white, very suburban group of women so that they can tar all Trump supporters as racists. “

To what purpose? To call all blond, white women racists? Do you believe that all blond, white women will cower in fear over being called racist and vote democrat?

To infer to all non-white voters that a vote for Democrats is needed to keep these racist white people from passing laws and suppressing “people of color”.

It’s standard liberal methodology.

A person is racist if he calls anyone else racist.

If one categorizes people by race, and then attaches importance to those categories then one is, by definition, a racist. It is clear that the demoncraps are every bit as racist as their klanner forebears.
