A New Low: Mainstream Media Attacks President Trump as the Cause for the School Shooting in Florida

It wasn't more than a few hours after the school shooting in Florida, that the mainstream/legacy media decided to place the blame of 17 deaths squarely on President Donald J. Trump. Newsbusters.org's Nicholas Fondacaro reports: 

Fresh off their disinformation campaign in the immediate aftermath of the Parkland, Florida school shooting in which they falsely claimed there had been 18 school shootings this year, the three major network news outlets (ABC, CBS, and NBC) moved on to another fake news topic they wanted to push on the American people: President Trump and the GOP made it easier for mentally ill people to buy guns.

The accusation that a bill designed to remove restrictions and allow the mentally ill to purchase guns was passed by the GOP and signed by President Trump had long been debunked. As the National Review’s Charles C.W. Cooke wrote over a year ago, what got removed was “in layman’s terms: The rule would have allowed bureaucrats within one of our federal agencies to bar American citizens from exercising a constitutional right — and on the highly questionable grounds that to be incapable of managing one’s finances is, by definition, to be a ‘mental defective.’”

And the bill wasn’t even supported by the NRA. But it was supported by the liberal ACLU and the American Association of People with Disabilities. Yet that didn’t stop the networks from pushing lies and being appalled that the President wasn’t exploiting the situation to push gun control as their previous president did.

Late-night talk show host/comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who has been dubbed the "conscience of our nation" by his far-left/liberal allies, went further, addressing President Trump directly with, "You're obviously mentally ill," all because he didn't immediately blame the 2nd Amendment, the NRA, and gun owners for the school shooting. 

Now, more than ever, deplorables must unite behind President Trump, because he is the toughest fighter and advocate for not just the 2nd Amendment, but for standing athwart the lies and fake news promulgated by the mainstream/legacy media in an all-out effort to take away rights and liberty.
