jakeem Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan Putting aside Trump’s usual lies and inaccuracies, here is the president praising a police attack on a journalist, a *journalist*, as ‘beautiful’ to a cheering crowd, as ‘law and order’. How is this not fascistic? How is anyone ok with this? Also, on a side note, Trump is obsessed with mocking the violence against my friend, the excellent journalist @AliVelshi. Multiple references to him in multiple rallies. Just a coincidence that Ali is a brown Muslim immigrant with - to Trump - a funny-sounding last name? 12:06 PM · Sep 19, 2020·Twitter for iPhone 1 Link to post Share on other sites
