Another news outlet? Lmao!

Who? Breitbart?

That's about the next biggest outlet that actually supports Trump no matter what and they don't even have a TV presence.

Trump just does this to get Fox News back in line. Bet they go extra hard for Trump over the next few days.

Its been said he wants his own news network. After his presidency I wouldn’t be surprised to see this. His clique will be his news folk. They’ll put out ish against all networks and have a huge following. Media is about to take a huge turn.

Moore Jumps On ‘Send Her Back’ Train After Omar Calls Out AL GOP


Alabama Senate candidate and accused child molester Roy Moore picked up the “send her back” refrain against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a Somali-American, after the congresswoman reminded the Alabama Republican Party about the numerous sexual assault allegations against the disgraced former judge.

In a statement on Wednesday, Moore’s Senate campaign attempted to drag Omar for her religion, her pro-Palestine views and for criticizing the U.S. military. He also bizarrely tried to pan her for being young.

“I fully support the resolution of the Alabama Republican Party asking Congress to expel Ilhan Omar under Article 1, Section 5, of the United States Constitution, I was sworn to defend after my graduation from the United States Military Academy at West Point,” he said in the statement. “President Trump was right: she should go back to Somalia from whence she came.”

Trump was roundly criticized for allowing supporters at a rally earlier this summer to chant “send her back!” a refrain largely fanned by Trump’s incessant attacks on Omar and three other congresswomen of color whom he told to “go back” to their home countries. The three other lawmakers were born in the United States and Omar came here as a refugee from Somalia, eventually becoming a U.S. citizen.

Omar skewered the Alabama Republican Party for passing a resolution that supported booting her from public office, by pointing out that the party backed the failed Senate candidate in 2018, even while he was accused by multiple women of sexual abuse when they were in their teens and he was in his 30s.

O'Rourke campaign blasts Breitbart after ejecting reporter

Beto O’Rourke’s campaign acknowledged Wednesday that it booted a Breitbart News reporter from a campaign event in South Carolina on Tuesday, while blasting the right-wing publication as walking a line “between being news and a perpetrator of hate speech.”

“Beto for America believes in the right to a free press and works hard to ensure the campaign reflects that,” Aleigha Cavalier, O’Rourke’s national press secretary, said in a written statement to POLITICO. “However, whether it’s dedicating an entire section of their website to ‘black crime,’ inferring that immigrants are terrorists, or using derogatory terms to refer to LGBTQ people, Breitbart News walks the line between being news and a perpetrator of hate speech.”

She wrote, “Given this particular Breitbart employee’s previous hateful reporting and the sensitivity of the topics being discussed with students at an HBCU, a campaign staffer made the call to ask him to leave to ensure that the students attending the event felt comfortable and safe while sharing their experiences as young people of color.”

Cavalier’s comments came after Breitbart’s Joel Pollak reported Tuesday that he had been ejected from an O’Rourke event at a historically black college in South Carolina. Pollak wrote that a staffer “threatened this reporter, saying that I could either leave voluntarily or be ‘officially uninvited’ from campus, suggesting arrest.”

O'Rourke, a Democratic candidate for president, has spoken frequently while campaigning about the value of the free press, and O’Rourke's campaign said Wednesday that Breitbart reporters would be welcome at future events.

Nevertheless, the incident on Tuesday did not go unnoticed by mainstream reporters and media watchers. The Poynter Institute’s daily newsletter included a link to Pollak’s story, saying, “If the account is true, this is flat-out wrong and a really bad look for the Democratic hopeful’s campaign.”
