RFK Jr. Says He’ll Send People Taking Adderall to Labor Camps

But voters need to understand why #Trump is attacking the #press, & where it will lead if he is reelected. The future of American #democracy is the key question of this #election. Trump has left an ample record showing that he is committed neither to the rule of #law nor to rule by the #people—after all, he tried to steal the last presidential election after he lost it.

The point here is not to plead for pity for the poor #press. Courageous reporting is courageous because it puts #journalists in conflict w/powerful people. Anyone who expects adulation all the time should go into a different business. (This also goes for any #media owner who might feel tempted to tone down criticism of #Trump [#Bezos].)

Although #Trump’s attacks on the #press are not new, they have escalated in recent weeks. Trump has said that #CBS should lose its broadcast license over a 60 Minutes interview w/VP #KamalaHarris, his Democratic opponent. He has pressured #FoxNews to stop airing ads that are critical of him. He has threatened #Google for showing negative stories about him. He has previously vowed to #jail #reporters.

He’s also employed this kind of attempted bullying before. 4 years ago, #Trump denied Goldberg’s story about “#SuckersAndLosers,” but other reporters quickly duplicated the reporting, including Jennifer Griffin of #FoxNews. Trump quickly (though unsuccessfully) demanded that Fox fire her. Trump has also sporadically railed at Goldberg & #TheAtlantic since 2020.

“Trump used the terms #SuckersAndLosers to describe #soldiers who gave their lives in the defense of our country,” #JohnKelly recently told Goldberg. “There are many, many people who have heard him say these things.” Besides, #Trump has said himself that he wants to use the #military domestically, & he’s disrespected #FallenSoldiers by trying to use #ArlingtonNationalCemetery as a cheap campaign prop.

#Trump is attacking the messenger here because he can’t really attack the message. He denies making the remarks, but a pile of other #evidence backs up the report. Goldberg’s recent story was closely followed by a NYT story in which #JohnKelly, a retired general who served as Trump’s chief of staff, described Trump’s obsession w/personal loyalty & desire to use the #military against domestic critics. 13 other fmr Trump-admin ofcls signed a letter backing these accounts up.
Trump is holding a rally at Madison Square Garden Sunday. It holds 19,500 people. How many will attend? Whatever the number, he'll lie.
You night have read that #Nazis held a rally at Madison Square Garden in 1939. 20,000 people attended.
But you might not have read that "around 100,000 anti-Nazi counter-protesters gathered outside the venue. "
