“’Furious’: Veterans slam Trump team’s altercation at Arlington National Cemetery,” USA Today claimed Wednesday in a Harris/Walz campaign ad disguised as news credited to four “reporters.” “Some veterans reacted with alarm to reports of an altercation between a member of Donald Trump’s entourage and a top official at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday…”
It went from “veterans” to “some veterans” in the blink of an eye, making it fair to ask, “Which veterans?” And while we get a few names, it’s up to readers curious enough to do their own research to determine if the sources are honest brokers or if they have political skin in the game.
“For a lot of us, and I’m not the only one, people are aptly furious,” Tim Wellman, identified as “a 22-year Army combat veteran,” claimed. What Wellman was not identified as was the host of @OnDemocracyPod and National Chairman Forgotten Democrats, whose X banner shows idealized portraits of Barack Obama with the slogan “Hope,” Joe Biden with the slogan “Heal,” Kamala Harris with the slogan “Grow,” and an angry Donald Trump with the slogan “Hate.”
Any guesses where he stands?
Former Army undersecretary and Pennsylvania Rep. Patrick Murphy called the Trump campaign’s recording of the former president laying wreaths and honoring the fallen in a private ceremony, at the request of family members of personnel killed in the Biden administration’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, “a new low.” For reasons only the four “reporters” can explain, they chose not to put a standard practice (D) after his name to let readers know Murphy’s a Democrat. Of interest to AmmoLand readers, he’s one who “signed on to sponsor legislation which would outlaw hundreds of commonly owned guns.”
Next up is an X video from Veterans for Responsible Leadership, which claims to be Non-partisan veterans” and follows that up with a pinned “tweet” soliciting signatures for a petition that begins, “We, as veterans, find Donald Trump unfit to serve as Commander-in-Chief. …he is a known and serious risk to service members, our apolitical military tradition, and to the U.S. Constitution.”
The next “furious” vet is “Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Paul Eaton, a senior adviser at the progressive political action committee VoteVets, [who] called the campaign’s actions at the cemetery ‘nauseating.’” USA Today made sure to include an unproven and denied “suckers and losers” allegation published before the 2020 election by the Biden-endorsing The Atlantic, but neglected to mention Eaton’s also a longtime Democrat supporter, having served on Hillary Clinton’s and Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns, who tweeted “President Biden has our six. America and our allies,” and who is now running interference for Tim Walz.
These are the “furious veterans” USA Today used to create an illusion of wider sentiment, all of them Democrat apparatchiks. And again of interest to AmmoLand readers is every one of them supports the Democrat/Harris citizen disarmament agenda, as does one of its biggest cheerleaders, USA Today and its parent Gannett Corporation, long known for dispensing with its own ethics policies to attack gun owners and the right to keep and bear arms.
- The Federalist reported “USA Today uses left-wing college interns to censor news media and opinion articles they disagree with, working hand in glove with unaccountable social media giants to suppress it.”
- Per CNN, The Journal News published “[a]n interactive map showing the names and addresses of all handgun permit holders in New York’s Westchester and Rockland counties.”
- Per Fox News, The Des Moine Register’s Donald Kaul “advocat[ed] deadly violence against NRA, GOP leaders.”
- Last election, the USA Today Editorial Board, which represents itself as “an ideologically and demographically diverse group,” urged readers to “Elect Joe Biden. Reject Donald Trump” without dissent.
They’re using deception to carry Kamala Harris’ water by masking political hit jobs as news instead of the reportable free advertising/in-kind contributions that they are.
