They Didn’t Get the Facts Right, Because the Facts Weren’t Important to Them

Rittenhouse Defense Lawyer Rips MSNBC, CNN For Missing ‘Basic Facts’: ‘It Makes Me Angry’ | The Daily Wire

“I can say this: much of the coverage at the beginning was wrong. The trial proved that,” Richards said. “Just in the last two weeks, you know, you people may not believe this, but I watch MSNBC, CNN. I’m not a big Fox guy. And when I hear Joe Scarborough saying my client shot his gun 60 times, that’s wrong. When I hear some guest host on Joy Reid say my client drove four hours to go to a riot with his AR, that’s wrong. It’s false.”

“It makes me angry that they can’t take the time to at least get the generic, basic facts correct because it didn’t fit in the story they wanted to tell,” he said.

Maybe you should become a Fox guy.

What is the point of watching a “news source” that isn’t interested in getting the facts straight? Do you think this is the only time they have done this? If they can lie about one thing, they can lie about anything. A new source that lies has zero value.

“I can say this, that when I got involved in this case and there were a couple of other prominent lawyers who were involved and trying to make some calls and I said, ‘Look, all of your riches and civil lawsuits are going nowhere if this kid gets found guilty of anything, so let’s worry about what’s important.’ And ultimately no actions were filed by Kyle or on behalf of Kyle while I was representing him,” Richards said.

He was quite critical, and deservedly so, of Rittenhouse’s former attorneys, who seemed to be in it for the fame and glory, not for the kid. This guy was in it for the kid. I like that about him.

Racism Rampant on MSNBC

Quelle surprise!

MSNBC Slammed Over ‘Disgusting Racist Rant’ Attacking Black Republican: ‘Unbelievably Insidious’ | The Daily Wire

Watch this, if you can.

FBT is non-partisan, but we respect @WinsomeSears' win—the 1st black person & 1st woman elected to statewide office in VA.@MichaelEDyson's take:

“a black mouth moving"

"a white idea"

"a figure who justifies and legitimates white supremacist practices”

*Not* healthy, folks! pic.twitter.com/lQRxAh0Z7g

At least they got properly slammed for it.

A few of the better responses:

• Colin Wright, evolutionary biologist: “This is one of the more disgusting racist rants I’ve heard in a while. The ideology producing this is unbelievably insidious. I just can’t fathom how so many self-proclaimed “anti-racists” are unable to see this rant as the epitome of what they claim to be against.”
• Brian Riedl, economist: “This is more racist than anything you’ll see on Fox News.”
• The New Liberals Podcast: “I’m on my way to a nice date, so I don’t want to get my blood up, but: It offends me to my very bones that this is accepted in polite society. It offends me that the host nods along. It offends me that his mic wasn’t cut. It offends me that he’ll be praised for saying this. I likely would not have voted for @WinsomeSears , had I had the opportunity. But she is her own woman. She is not a g*****n puppet. Show some respect.”
• Rita Panahi, political commentator: “Disgusting racism from @MSNBC These ‘anti-racists’ are proudly, boldly racist. Gross.”

Notice that some of these are from the left.

Racism is racism no matter where it comes from. Personally, I find the left to be far more racist than the right in almost every way. But, when I see it on the right, I call it out there too. It’s disgusting and vile and should not be tolerated, even (especially) if it’s from people you otherwise agree with.

 

 

Winsome Sears vs. Joy Reid–PPV Extravaganza??

Winsome Sears Challenges Joy Reid For MSNBC Invite: ‘Let’s See If She’s Woman Enough’ | The Daily Wire

“I wish Joy Reid would invite me on her show. Let’s see if she’s woman enough to do that. I’d go in a heartbeat and we’d have a real discussion without Joy speaking about me behind my back, if you will,” Sears responded. “I mean, Joy, come on. Get your facts straight and then come talk to me.”

Sears also put out a challenge to former ESPN anchor Jemele Hill to come on MSNBC as well for a “panel discussion.” Hill reacted to Republicans’ winning in Virginia by blaming “white supremacy.”

Neither of these two will take the bait. They know they can’t stand with Sears in an even fight.

But good for Sears for speaking out and standing up tall. More of this, please. Lots more.

If the Left Continues to Believe Things Like This, They Are Doomed

It is precisely this attitude that cost them Virginia.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid Melts Down Over Youngkin Win: ‘Education’ Is Code For ‘White Parents Don’t Like The Idea Of Teaching About Race’ | The Daily Wire

Yep. Caleb Hull agrees with me.

Joy Reid just now:

"Exit polls showed that the coronavirus was not important to voters in Virginia. It was education. Which is code for white parents don’t like the idea of teaching about race."

It's like she's trying to campaign for the GOP midterms already. pic.twitter.com/GU1qRnrQ62

“Education” is not a dog whistle for “racism”. It’s a belief that parents care about their children and want the best for them. Every year, I go to the open house night at my kids’ schools. I am stunned just how many parents are there, and how many ask very direct questions to the teachers. They show their interest.

Joy Reid doesn’t get this. The Left doesn’t get this. That’s why they lost.
