Something doesn’t smell right here.

From the article:

"The organizer of the event denounced the video and told the Times that the clip had been played at the conference as part of a meme exhibit."

"“Content was submitted by third parties and was not associated with or endorsed by the conference in any official capacity,” organizer Alex Phillips said. “American Priority rejects all political violence and aims to promote a healthy dialogue about the preservation of free speech. This matter is under review.”"

"Sources told the Times that Donald Trump and his son were unaware of the video and Sanders said she also hadn’t heard of the video until she was contacted."

"“I was there to speak at a prayer breakfast, where I spoke about unity and bringing the country together,” Sanders said. “I wasn’t aware of any video, nor do I support violence of any kind against anyone.”"

IIRC in the original movie, the churchgoers are portrayed as conservatives and the hero simply massacres them. If so, I wonder if CNN voiced any objection to the portrayal of ostensibly justified mass killings of conservatives then...

By promoting big government, they’re promoting violence against us. The only thing the government does that the private sector doesn’t do is legally use violence.

When is CNN going to denounce the violent "antifa" riot in Minneapolis? Bite me, CNN.

Just curious. Not long after Trump became president, there were plays and performances depicting the murder of Trump and who can forget the Kathy Griffin photo? Did CNN denounce these “vile and horrific” depictions?

Honestly, I would feel such a video is in poor taste but why aren’t they questioning the people who made the video instead of going after Trump?

But it’s okay to make a movie depicting someone shooting the President - like they did with Bush - eh, Mr. Langlois?

Satire is apparently lost on these poltroons. /eyeroll

Did President Trump or someone who works for him make the video? If not, why does he need to apologize for it?

John McCain was a traitor to his fellow servicemen and this country. In anything featuring his likeness, he deserves violence.

We used to deal with traitors in the only effective way. It didn’t take decades for justice to catch up.

Wiki excerpt about the movie the scene comes from:

Meanwhile, Merlin discovers that Professor Arnold has returned to work as if nothing had happened. Hart attempts to interrogate him, but a chip in Professor Arnold’s neck explodes, killing him. The detonation signal is traced to a facility owned by Gazelle’s employer Richmond Valentine, an Internet billionaire and philanthropist who has recently offered everyone in the world SIM cards that grant free lifetime cellular and Internet connectivity. Hart, impersonating a billionaire philanthropist, meets Valentine face-to-face. Hart learns of Valentine’s connection to an obscure hate group’s church in Kentucky, and travels there, wearing glasses containing a video transceiver. As Eggsy watches, Valentine activates the SIM cards in the church, triggering a signal that causes the parishioners to become murderously violent. Hart’s spy training leaves him as the only survivor. Outside the church Valentine explains what happened, and then shoots Hart in the face.

...

Apparently, the “Trump character” in the movie is acting in self defense.

Everything. About. This. Is. A. Setup. “An attendee reportedly took a video of the clip on his phone and used an intermediary to send to a reporter at the Times.” Sure. Find a internet meme from last year, submit to conference, send Trump-hating buddy to take a video of it and send to the Times. I wouldn’t have a clue how to get info published in the Times. Pulling a Smollett.

Hey CNN: how ‘bout you denounce the actual violence perpetrated by ANTIFA, leftist gangs, and other nutters, too? And the “satirical” skits, plays, and movies showing violence done to Trump—and the people that voted for him—performed by left-wing media? Not to mention the outright hoaxes and other fake crimes that the left has concocted and blamed on Americans?

Waiting for the lefties to condemn the REAL violence at the Minnesota rally.

So who made the video? Why isn’t that being discussed?
