Trump Calls It Like It Is — CNN Calls It “Dangerous Rhetoric”
President Trump sent the media into another meltdown this week after accurately labeling the violent mobs in Los Angeles as “insurrectionists” and “professional agitators.” Following days of riots, explosives launched at federal buildings, attacks on mounted police, and open warfare in the streets of LA, Trump simply called the chaos what it is: a full-blown insurrection.
But CNN? They couldn’t handle the truth.
CNN: Triggered By Facts
CNN anchor Dana Bash and panelist Stephen Collinson took issue with Trump’s words, claiming the president’s use of the term “insurrectionist” was “dangerous” and “escalatory.” This despite the fact that:
-
Federal agents were targeted with commercial-grade explosives
-
A federal detention facility was attacked
-
Law enforcement officers on horseback were assaulted
-
Entire sections of Los Angeles were set ablaze by radical anti-ICE mobs
Rather than focus on the criminal activity and foreign flag-waving rioters wreaking havoc, CNN focused its outrage on Trump’s choice of words.
The Media Double Standard on “Insurrection”
This is the same CNN that spent years branding January 6th as the “worst attack on democracy in American history” and demanded solitary confinement for nonviolent protesters. Now, when foreign-backed mobs attack federal buildings and police officers with explosives, CNN throws a tantrum because Trump used their favorite word: insurrection.
Apparently, you’re only an “insurrectionist” if you wear red, wave an American flag, and attend a Trump rally. But if you burn a U.S. city down in the name of open borders—you’re just a “protester.”
Final Thoughts: If It Looks Like an Insurrection…
Let’s be blunt: if attacking federal officers with explosives and storming detention centers isn’t an insurrection, what is? Trump is absolutely right to call it out—and Americans are right to demand action.
Comment:
CNN’s real problem isn’t Trump’s words—it’s that he’s right. They can’t stand that he says what every sane person sees: LA isn’t facing “unrest.” It’s facing an organized insurrection, and the media is covering for it.
