CNN is a total disgrace. They are becoming more deranged and dishonest by the day.
CNN reporter mocked for saying Trump weighing RNC speech at Gettysburg due to Confederacy support
CNN White House reporter Jeremy Diamond blasted for ‘ridiculously stupid analysis’
By Fox News, August 10, 2020
Story continues below advertisementA CNN reporter raised eyebrows on Monday with a curious explanation of why President Trump is considering giving his GOP renomination acceptance speech at the Gettysburg Civil War battlefield.
Trump announced on Twitter that he has “narrowed down” the choice of venue for his Aug. 27 remarks to “The Great Battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and the White House, Washington, D.C.” Fox News reported last week that the Trump campaign was considering the possibility of having him deliver his convention acceptance speech on the South Lawn of the White House.
However, CNN White House correspondent Jeremy Diamond suggested that Trump’s potential decision to give the speech at Gettysburg is based on his apparent admiration for the Confederacy.
“We’ve reported that President Trump is considering his GOP nomination acceptance speech from the White House, but amid some criticism of that potential venue, the president is now floating another one,” Diamond reported. “This time he’s talking about the hallowed Civil War battlefield in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, but that could be controversial too particularly because this is a President who has consistently positions himself as a defender of Confederate symbols and monuments to Confederate generals.”
“That’s a fair point to make,” CNN anchor Pamela Brown responded.

Critics mocked Diamond and questioned his logic since the Confederately famously lost the Battle of Gettysburg, which many historians consider to be a turning point of the Civil War.
“So giving a speech at a battlefield where the Union secured the decisive victory over the Confederacy, somehow honors…the Confederacy?” Trump campaign adviser and former CNN contributor Steve Cortes asked.

Pres. Trump should do a speech at Gettysburg because he is in the position of Abraham Lincoln. I wish Pres. Trump would do some of the killing that Lincoln did. Our country sorely needs it.
No. I will not take my remark back. Those rioting mobs are akin to a rabid animal and there is only one way to deal with a rabid animal.

I think you are right. It looks inevitable. Sadly, a good chunk of the young idiots we see out in the streets with blm flags, burning the real flag, etc. are going to be destroyed.
Us old farts, we’d mostly be dead in a few years anyway. I sort of feel sorry for the survivors of what’s coming. I wonder if what we had will or even can be rebuilt?

In North Korea they cannibalize kidnapped children to survive, much the same as the WWII-era citizens of a blockaded Stalingrad.

Of course, this mindless indoctrinated ZuckerHead has no problem with his lord and savior Barack O Bama kissing up to Iran, the largest state sponsor of terror in the world, a totalitarian Islamo-Nazi state that helped Assad butcher over 400,000 Syrians, led to the formation of ISIS, and that continues to finance Hezbollah, a terror group that hijacked Lebanon and has over 150,000 missiles targeted at Israel.
Jeremy Diamond has zero journalism credentials other than working for CNN.
Jeremy Diamond’s Wikipedia page:
After school, he worked as an intern at CNN before becoming a reporter in September 2014. His career has been dedicated to following the election campaign and presidency of Donald Trump. He currently works as a White House Correspondent.
Hey Jeremy, does Zucker cut your meat for you?

Polls Show Climate Change Issue Going Down In Flames As Coronavirus Steals Spotlight
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/aug/11/polls-voter-concern-climate-change-sinking-covid19/
The MSM finally noticed that people find “Global Warming” is less interesting than “Kim Kardashian” on Google search trackers. People don’t care, and the data show no real changes in sea level and other key variables. All those South Pacific islands are still there, with many growing in size.

The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, is considered the most important engagement of the American Civil War. After a great victory over Union forces at Chancellorsville, General Robert E. Lee marched his Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania in late June 1863. On July 1, the advancing Confederates clashed with the Union’s Army of the Potomac, commanded by General George G. Meade, at the crossroads town of Gettysburg. The next day saw even heavier fighting, as the Confederates attacked the Federals on both left and right. On July 3, Lee ordered an attack by fewer than 15,000 troops on the enemy’s center at Cemetery Ridge. The assault, known as “Pickett’s Charge,” managed to pierce the Union lines but eventually failed at the cost of thousands of rebel casualties. Lee was forced to withdraw his battered army toward Virginia on July 4. The Union had won in a major turning point, stopping Lee’s invasion of the North. It inspired Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address,” which became one of the most famous speeches of all time.
…
Demoralized by the defeat at Gettysburg, Lee offered his resignation to President Jefferson Davis, but was refused. Though the great Confederate general would go on to win other victories, the Battle of Gettysburg (combined with Ulysses S. Grant’s victory at Vicksburg, also on July 4) irrevocably turned the tide of the Civil War in the Union’s favor.

More significantly, Gettysburg was the turning point of the War that was fought to hold the Union together.
President Trump essentially has the same job, and goal, as did Lincoln.

Truth doesn’t matter … and neither do facts …
… riots … plandemics … murder in the streets … rapists going free while arresting dissidents
… we all think it’s like 1984 … because it is … but we’re the informed.
Most Americans haven’t got a clue. They don’t even know the Plandemic is following a script that’s been out there for years, and they also don’t know that the healthcare Deep Swamp has been faking data, flip-flopping, and generally doing everything they can to keep the panic going – despite the fact that they did nothing of the sort when Obamessiah’s reign of error was destroying jobs, destroying lives, destroying healthcare, and destroying our Nation.
Focus on the crime, the violence, and the naked incongruity between the Left’s lies – riots are safe in the name of communism, but protesting asinine government lies is not.
*** Everyone have a great week, and don’t believe the naysayers – we’re winning or they would not be pulling out all the stops.

Obviously, Abraham Lincoln was a Confederate supporter and for slavery. After all, he did make a speech at Gettysburg and so proving his guilt.

I get the irony, too bad the reporter did not realize the Confederates lost that battle, consider one of the turning points of the Civil War.
To hear him tell it, Lincoln was born in a log cabin that he built with his own two hands.

CNN is so pathetic they do nit realize the important significance of Gettysburg. The bloodiest battle in American history with the greatest loss of American soldiers. Trump could easily mention Obama and Buden unfortunately never cared. Neither showed up fir the 150 anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg.

These modern day “journalists” are so poorly educated. They should learn to keep their mouths shut about historical facts….probably doesn’t know the difference between the Gettysburg in South Dakota and the one in Pennsylvania.

Uh, Gettysburg is not a favorite place for Confederates, because they lost that battle. It and Vicksburg, lost on the same day, were the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. So it makes no sense why Trump would speak to Confederates. CNN dummies, or maybe propagandists. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address would be the object.
