The Real Threat to Democracy: the Lies and Threats of Biden and CNN

From Biden exclaiming "We gotta lock him up!" to CNN pushing the comparison between Trump and Hitler, the real threat to democracy is more clear than ever.

In a revealing moment that should alarm every freedom-loving American, President Biden made a shocking declaration in New Hampshire about Donald Trump. With a slip that seemed more Freudian than accidental, Biden blurted out, “We gotta lock him up.” He quickly tried to soften the blow with a hurried addition, “politically, lock him up—lock him out,” but the damage was done. This knee-jerk statement sheds light on the deeply troubling authoritarian streak running through this administration. It’s not merely a gaffe; it’s a glaring revelation of the Democrats‘ strategy centered around political persecution.

In a week riddled with political theater, President Biden‘s comments about locking up Donald Trump weren’t the only bombshells making headlines. Over at CNN, they’re running with a story from The Atlantic, claiming Trump expressed a desire for “the kind of generals that Hitler had,” allegedly yearning for total loyalty and blind obedience. The source? A couple of insiders supposedly privy to private conversations in the White House.

The Trump campaign, quick on the defensive, slammed the report as outright fabrication. Campaign spokesman Alex Pfeiffer was adamant, stating, “This is absolutely false, President Trump never said this.” Yet, here we are, watching mainstream media push these unverified claims as if they’re gospel.

This isn’t just shoddy journalism; it’s a calculated attack, neatly coinciding with Biden’s own controversial statements. It paints a clear picture of the double standards and the lengths to which the left and their media cronies will go to vilify Trump. They drum up sensational headlines from dubious sources while giving a pass to actual inflammatory rhetoric from the current administration.

The Real Threat to Democracy Is Not Donald Trump

We’re witnessing a dangerous pivot in American politics where accusations from unnamed sources can dominate a news cycle and where presidents openly talk of jailing their political opponents without a shred of self-awareness about the authoritarian implications. It’s a strategy of distraction and defamation, and it’s being deployed with reckless abandon. What’s deeply troubling is the erosion of journalistic integrity and the blatant bias that has now become the hallmark of networks like CNN.

As the Biden administration and their allies in the mainstream media continue to paint Donald Trump as some sort of fascist tyrant, the irony couldn’t be starker. They accuse him of potentially using the government to persecute his foes, yet it is they who are orchestrating a relentless campaign against him. Look at the politically charged legal onslaught Trump faces, or the grotesque comparisons drawn between him and Hitler—this isn’t just dirty politics; it’s a chilling incursion into outright defamation.

What’s more, these baseless attacks have fueled such hatred that Trump has been the target of not one, not two, but now a potential third assassination attempt. It’s beyond reprehensible; it’s dangerous. Yet, with every election cycle, the stakes get higher, and the tactics more desperate. The left isn’t targeting Trump because he threatens democracy. No, they target him to obscure their own authoritarian impulses that are the real threat to our republic. This election isn’t just important—it’s crucial to discern the truth behind the smear campaigns and recognize who the real threats to our democracy are.
