SAT . BREAKING: Sen. Brian Schatz Unveils the Perfect Strategy to Call Out Republicans Dodging Trump’s ‘Disgusting’ Rob Reiner Remarks
When they feign ignorance, journalists need to hit back hard…
“Reporters the tweet is short enough that you can just hand it to members of Congress if they ‘haven’t seen it,'” Schatz tweeted.
Schatz was preempting a well-worn strategy deployed by prominent Republicans every time Trump says or does something that shocks the conscience. Time and again, they claim to have not seen the more vile Truth Social posts when confronted about them. Speaker Mike Johnson is a particularly egregious offender on this front.
In reality, these Republicans have almost certainly seen Trump’s posts, they’re just too cowardly to condemn them and can’t outright endorse them for fear of losing their faux “Christian” facade. And if they really are not keeping up to date on Trump’s Truth Social rants, they’re in dereliction of their duties. Since this president regularly issues world-changing policy proclamations via social media, elected officials have a responsibility to follow his account closely.
Trump’s recent post about the murder of Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner was perhaps his most evil to date––
“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS,” Trump wrote.
“He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!” he added.
Reporters need to heed Senator Schatz’s suggestion. They should print Trump’s post out or open it on their phones and physically hand it to any Republicans who claim to have not seen it. Make them grapple with it in public, in real time, and expose their spinelessness for all to see.
