Friday night on MSNBC with Stephanie Ruhle, Ashley Parker a reporter for the Washington Post joined the growing number of reporters, anchors and Democrats who have turned up their political attacks on Conservatives by not only attacking their policies, but also attacking those who support them.
Parker took a direct shot at President Donald Trump’s supporters, suggesting that they are not a group that is a “reality-based community.”
“Well, you note that many of his claims, not just last night at his rally but across twitter over the last few days, they have no evidence,” Ruhle said, insinuating that they were lies. “Does that matter at this point with his supporters?”
“That’s a great question,” Parker responded. “Among his supporters so far that does not seem to matter a tremendous amount. They’re willing to accept — they’re largely willing to accept what he says as truth, and part of this in talking to some experts is the president sort of floating out trial balloons and setting the stage.”
“So to get someone to believe something that’s not true, you can’t just announce something,” Parker continued. “You sort of have to lead them there, you start going after Google, you start going after big tech. So if and when the president does actually roll out an initiative, at least his base and his supporters have been primed little by little to believe that.”
She then suggested that Trump’s tactics could backfire with voters “who are more rooted in a reality-based community.”
Watch:
These growing number of of personal attacks towards “Blue Collar America,” are becoming the new norm as desperation sets in.
One can only surmise that direct attacks like this towards a voting body will only increase as we roll into Midterms and begin our ascent towards the 2020 election.
Do you believe personal attacks like this will increase from reporters and and some top level Democrats as the political season heats up, or will Democrats and some of their biggest mouthpieces continue to berate members of the voting class? Let us know your thoughts below.
