Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”
This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
To all of those whining about artist's dropping out of the Freedom250 concert:
Ten years ago, Congress established the America 250 foundation to plan our nation's 250th birthday celebration and they've been working on it since.
Trump fired them all and set up his own Freedom 250 celebration focused only on highlighting MAGA and his accomplishments.
These artists were told they were performing at the first only to discover they would be appearing at the second.
Ana Navarro just said the quiet part out loud:
They claimed Alex Pretti was “brandishing a gun.”
He was “brandishing” a CAMERA. A phone. Video.
Because to this administration, a camera is just as dangerous as a weapon, not because it can hurt them… but because it can EXPOSE them.
If they were actually rounding up “murderers and rapists,” they’d be showing proof and taking victory laps.
Instead, they’re hiding the evidence and lying to the public.
They’re lying about Alex Pretti.
