ABC News Calls For 'Cleansing' Of Trump Supporters In Wake Of Capitol Incursion
Western Journal ^ | 1-9-2021 | Kipp Jones

As part of the Democratic Party, establishment media and Washington swamp campaign to tear down the legacy of President Donald Trump this week, the political director for ABC News called for a “cleansing” of Trump’s movement.

Rick Klein, who is the rudder on the corrupt ABC News political coverage ship, must have been feeling awfully emboldened Thursday after Democrat Joe Biden was officially certified as the country’s next president. Perhaps a little too emboldened, as is evident by what he said on Twitter.

“Trump will be an ex-president in 13 days. The fact is that getting rid of Trump is the easy part. Cleansing the movement he commands is going to be something else,” Klein said in a tweet, which he later deleted.

Thank the good lord for screen shots.

But this was no mere slip-up of a lone network employee on social media. ABC News published a piece in which Klein echoed his message. His views are apparently shared by others at the legacy media outlet.

Thursday on the website’s political analysis page “The Note,” Klein and Mary Alice Parks, ABC News deputy political director, co-wrote a piece that called for a similar “cleansing” of the Trump movement before it was later stealthily edited to change that vague and dark language, Fox News reported.

The beauty of things like this...it allows us to build a case (based on their own words) regarding the unprofessional political bias of Legacy Media.

I know! Let’s all call it “The Final Solution”, that way we can come to grips with what is about to take place. “Cleansing” eh? Perhaps that network should go out of business?

THIS is far beyond yelling “fire”.

it is FAR BEYOND holding up a severed head.

ABC deserves to pay in FULL.

Cleansing the movement? Should we just line up for the railroad cars now? The true fascist core of the left is showing through.

These people just can’t resist continuing to poke the bear. My fervent hope is that it does not turn out to be a bear of the Koala variety.

They trash Trump who didn’t call for violence. The say he insighted people, and that was actionable. He didn’t.

Then they call for doing things to his supporters, which is precisely incitement.

They are giving hoodlums on the street license to do anything they want.

“Sounds like genocidal talk...”

That’s exactly what it is.

If you just take two out they can never get even! More would be better, of course. Because, believe me, they fully intend to take you out. The Democrat Party is Stalinist to the core.
