Watch: George Stephanopoulos Makes Throat-Slitting Gesture to Cut Away from Trump Lawyer

By Joshua Caplan, Breitbart News, January 24, 2020:

ABC news anchor George Stephanopoulos made a throat-slitting gesture to cut away from Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow during live coverage of the Senate’s impeachment trial Thursday.

According to Tim Graham, executive editor of NewsBusters, Stephanopoulos was spotted on camera making the motion around 3:00 P.M. EST. The clip begins with a Capitol Hill reporter asking Sekulow for his thoughts on Attorney General William Barr, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and renowned lawyer Alan Dershowitz having previously made the argument that abuse of power is impeachable.

“We’ve got something very different from what you’re hearing up here,” Sekulow begins.

“We’ve got lawyers that will be put forward when our side of the case goes that represents multiple schools of thought on what is an impeachable offense,” the president’s personal attorney continues. “They have one thing in common: that the actions alleged and the actions of the president do not reach that level — no matter which school of thought you’re on.”

“We’re not afraid to put out both of those schools of thought because our position is you still have to meet basic, fundamental constitutional obligations and they haven’t,” he concluded.

As Sekulow takes another question, Stephanopoulos orders staff situated off-camera to end the broadcast’s feed by making a throat-slitting gesture. The ABC News anchor then segues into a panel segment to discuss the Trump lawyer’s comments.

I believe that I have seen that thing, walking down the street. I suggested that it should wear spiked heels, with that outfit. Side note, as I do not know the preferred pronoun, for that thing, I have chosen to remain gender neutral.

If THAT was walking towards me on the sidewalk, I’d make it a point to jaywalk to avoid it. I’d want HIM to feel bad. I wouldn’t want to talk to it either. I prefer to let others deal with whatever gender it wants to be. For me it will always be binary! I’ll claim dementia as my defense.

ABC cannot allow anything to upset their propaganda narrative. For over 5 years I have been banned from posting on their site and to this day I have no idea why. This is UNI-Directional news. They report and you damn well better believe it.

I was banned for posting on their site, too. I wasn’t abusive or anything like that. Near as I can tell, I was banned for offering a dissenting opinion.

Amazing how all her evidence seems to have disappeared.
If she had everything where is it now?

Can you imagine how SAD Step-on -all-of-us was when Hillary lost? He thought the old corrupt gang was getting together again. Their tears still delight me!

George Stephanopoulosis is just another ABC’s putz pundit. The guy is so biased, corrupt because of his interconnection with the Democrats. People who depend on cable, network news for the truth, facts are utterly gullible, semi-comatose or heavily indoctrinated. These ultra-Leftist, news providers have a list of untouchables, from Clinton(s), Obama(s), to the entire Democrat enchilada. The Big-Lie followed by another Big-Lie in an attempt to destroy the President and this Republic. Yet, the putz viewers continue getting their news from the putz providers; one can’t fix stupid.

Yup. These guys are NOT going to like the Trump side of the trial. Reporting air time will plummet from 24/7 to 5 minutes of out of context out takes.

We all know that he knows, “where all the bodies are buried,” during the 8 years of the Clinton administration. That he got such a high-profile job with a major “news” organization, is obscene.

Jay Sekulow is one of the GREATEST Constitutional lawyers on the planet, bar none. THIS is why the left doesn’t like him. THAT SAYS A WHOLE LOT ABOUT THE EVIL AND AGENDA OF THE DEMOCRATS AND THEIR LACK OF WANTING THE TRUTH.

It is unbelievable to me that Dems have no evidence, no proof of any wrong-doing and YET no one, not one person in Congress will stop this Impeachment but are happy to allow this sham to continue. It simply baffles me to no end.

These events occur daily tens perhaps hundreds of times. Rarely are they caught on tape and exposed. Put the blame and the onus where it properly belongs. ABC is 100% owned by Disney whose CEO is Bob Iger. ABC would not be a propaganda organ of the Commiecrat Party unless Igor, his Board of Directors approved of it. Every time you are a patron of any product or service of Disney you are supporting the DogFart Media who pays gigantic salaries and bonuses to vermin like Step-on-all-of-us. NBC is controlled by AT&T and CNN by Viacom now properly re-named Amusement Inc., and, of course, CNN by Comcast. It is the executives and boards of the companies who comprise, run and are wholly responsible for the Dog Fart Media, nobody else.
