Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts
Julia Ioffe on CNN: Trump has “radicalized more people than ISIS” (To The Truth about The Depth of The Darkness And Dankness of The Washington DC Swamp, Then Hell Yes)
GQ writer Julia Ioffe quickly apologized Monday after claiming President Trump had radicalized more people than ISIS on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper.
“I think, you know, this president, one of the things that he really launched his presidential run on is talking about Islamic radicalization, and this president has radicalized so many more people than ISIS ever did
The Islamic State ideology is one of murder, conquest at any cost, and sheer brutality against women, infidels, apostates and the like. Ioffe could never put her own words to the test by confronting Islamic State jihadists, because she would end up being tortured and killed, yet these are the barbarians to whom she compares the elected President of the United States. Many may merely dismiss Ioffe as unbalanced, but what about the host of the show, Jake Tapper?
“That’s just…it’s unconscionable for you to say that,” CNN’s David Urban shot back….For you not to push back on that, is irresponsible,” Urban said to Jake Tapper. “That’s irresponsible. For her to say that the President of the United States has radicalized more people than ISIS is irresponsible.”
It is obvious that all who do not adhere to Islamic State ideology need protection from them, so Ioffe is implying that American society needs to protect itself from Donald Trump. Not only is her thinking astonishingly delusional; her mindset is also dangerous. Groups such as Antifa and other leftist troublemakers and anarchists are searching for any and every excuse to resort to violence against Trump and his supporters, and they are being egged on by destructive elements in the media, and even by politicians. Recall when Rep. Maxine Waters called for public confrontation and harassment of members of the Trump administration, stating: “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd.” Then there was former Attorney General Eric Holder, who declared: “When they go low, we kick ’em.” Even Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp repudiated Hillary Clinton’s recent comments as “unproductive” and “simply ridiculous” when Clinton advised Democrats to “abandon civility” with Republicans.
Jake Tapper should be taken to the woodshed by CNN, but that is unlikely, as CNN is increasingly moving toward incitement, when its “fake news” was already bad enough. No apology could now undo Ioffe’s or CNN’s recklessness. Ioffe will never be in the position of having to look into the eyes of a tortured Yazidi sex slave or the spouse and loved ones of those who were beheaded by Islamic State jihadists and tell them that Donald Trump — who seeks to protect Americans from the likes of the Islamic State — is comparable to Islamic State jihadists. Her apology was as foolish and reckless as her original statement:
I do want to clarify. I think I spoke in the heat of the moment–this has been a very emotional, and personally painful time for me. I think I exaggerated and I apologize for that.
Ioffe and others of her ilk should contemplate the “very emotional, and personally painful time” for those who have been victimized by Islamic State jihadis. Ioffe’s blind hatred against Donald Trump is longstanding. In 2016, she was fired from Politico for an unhinged tweet that is too vulgar to write here. It was followed by a lame apology. She stated: “It was a tasteless, offensive tweet that I regret and have deleted…..I am truly and deeply sorry. It won’t happen again.” Well, it did happen again, only now she has escalated from vulgarity to incitement.
Julia Ioffe Apologizes After Saying Trump Radicalized More People than ISIS,” by Justin Caruso, Breitbart, October 29, 2018:
GQ writer Julia Ioffe quickly apologized Monday after claiming President Trump had radicalized more people than ISIS on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper.“I think, you know, this president, one of the things that he really launched his presidential run on is talking about Islamic radicalization, and this president has radicalized so many more people than ISIS ever did,” Julia Ioffe said.“That’s just…it’s unconscionable for you to say that,” CNN’s David Urban shot back.“The way he talks–the way that he allows these…the way he winks and nods to these groups. The way he says, ‘I know I’m not supposed to say it, but I’m a nationalist.’ The way that he hems and haws, when he has to condemn these people, and kind of, gritting his teeth, kind of, says, fine, okay, ‘I condemn this.’”“For you not to push back on that, is irresponsible,” Urban said to Jake Tapper. “That’s irresponsible. For her to say that the President of the United States has radicalized more people than ISIS is irresponsible.”Urban continued to push Ioffe on what she based her claim on.She responded, “ISIS had, like 10,000 members. I think the president has far more supporters who espouse an equally hateful ideology.”Tapper, as panelist David Urban pointed out on air, did not push back on Ioffe’s assertion whatsoever.He defended himself on Twitter from critics.Ioffe apologized on air later in the show. “I do want to clarify. I think I spoke in the heat of the moment–this has been a very emotional, and personally painful time for me. I think I exaggerated and I apologize for that,” she said…..
