CNN ran a story titled “The most alarming Trump rally yet” following former President Donald Trump’s massive rally in Iowa on Saturday.
According to the network, a former president and potential candidate holding a political rally is “dangerous to our democracy.”
The article, which gives off angry teenager’s diary vibes, whined that “while Donald Trump has held several rallies since the January 6 Capitol insurrection, his rally in Iowa Saturday was the most alarming by far.”
Penned by Daily Beast columnist Dean Obeidallah, the op-ed moaned that this rally “was different.”
“This one was attended by longtime Iowa US Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Iowa Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Ashley Hinson, and other mainstream Republican officials. Some of these very same people, who just nine months ago were slamming Trump for his role in the Capitol riots, were now only too happy to be seen supporting him. This is politics at its worst — and at its most dangerous for our democracy,” Obeidallah asserted.
His biggest issue with the rally was not Trump, it was the politicians who went to support him.
“You don’t need to be a historian to recognize the danger in a political party showing blind loyalty to one person. These GOP elected officials just several months ago rightly criticized Trump and his role in the false election claims that led to the January 6 attack. With their presence at his rally this weekend, it seems they’ve now changed their tune,” Obeidallah’s whining continued.
Trump has a favorability rating of 91 percent among Iowa Republicans.
“But who knows what Trump whim will be the next litmus test for remaining in his good graces? When even Grassley, Iowa’s longest-serving US senator, thinks it’s ‘smart’ politics to no longer criticize Trump for his un-American attack on our democracy and instead praise him in a pursuit of an eighth term in the Senate, it’s clear that the party is no longer defined by policy ideas but by absolute loyalty to Trump and his influence. To put it bluntly, today’s GOP is how democracies die,” he concluded.
I suppose all the Biden failures–the border chaos, Afghanistan deaths, failure to support Americans stranded in Afghanistan, inflation, failure to get people to value work anymore, condemnation of parents as terrorists, supply chain crisis due to not valuing work, crime out of control due to “defunding police”. etc., etc., etc. are NOT ALARMING.
You hit the nail square on the head.
Yes the things you mention are alarming. But none of what you mentioned caused the attack on Jan 6th. I hope the GOP can come up with a candidate that will correct the things you mention but not have Trump’s personality and narcissism.
Many words aptly describe the present Democrat leadership, lunacy and depotism seem apropos at this moment. The country is being led by Socialists and some are still concerned with Trump’s personality?
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! now that is funny stuff!!!!
CNN, MSNBC, et al; Be afraid! Be VERY afraid!
I suppose it would be pointless to point out to Daily Beast “columnist” Dean Obeidallah that the United States is NOT A DEMOCRACY! We are a REPUBLIC! Democracy is by definition 50% +1 mob rule. Every so-called “democracy” has failed and caused the collapse of that country when the mob runs out of people to steal from. Seriously. Study something. Read something besides CNN propaganda
The GOP mob ruled and caused the Jan 6th attack on Washington. The Dem mob now rules and attacks the people. Our only choices seem to be which mob rule we want. That is why I am glad the Senate is 50/50 and Manchin and Sinema are both sensible. I wish Manchin would run for POTUS. Trump would lose.
Still stuck on stupid? There was no threat to our government on January 6th, it was a less a threat and not an insurrection than all the BLM activities before and since. Stupid, armed insurrection absolutely not.
You need to do some studying of the finding of the investigation concerning January, 6th. It looks better for Trump than the FBI.
The liberal Communist agenda; teaching young children how to be racist, teaching them about deviant sex (with graphics), pushing “mandates” (which are NOT laws), turning America into a 3rd world country, trying to erase history, cheating and accepting bribes from political donors.. just a FEW of the things the former democrat party (now the commie party).. PLUS, condoning world de-population through biological warfare and murdering babies.. I hope that President Trump and the Patriots in America can save us from the evil that the liberals have unleashed on mankind!
