Yes he does. He nearly every day tells his crowd to turn and look at the press. Then he calls them dishonest despicable people. And I am being kind... dont want to go pull his full diatribe or even explain how he turned fake news as a phrase. . It is pretty well documented in film the reaction of the crowd. It is part of his schtick.... unfortunately to some of his followers its not a schtick.

As for one justifying the other you would have to say you are justifying Waters words since Trump was doing it first. Same with the baseball practice. Look at the timelines. That said one absolutely does not justify the other and it needs to stop. It's childish logic and really pretty dumb.


And lib this, lib that con this con that.... it need not be the new rules... and I'd dispute who called for it. Trump is a new breed and has always been like this. Interesting that the rules have changed but its not on him although his entry seems to coincide with things.

So trump entering the race and calling the news fake (which, news flash, a bunch of times it is) is responsible for the public targeting of controversial figures... But maxine, who actually literally called for the public harassing of controversial figures, she's not responsible...

No I didn't say that. I blame both, you are the one that is giving one a pass. I clearly am not.

But assuming your logic and the person that did it first is most responsible, that lies clearly at the feet of your guy. Thats just a timeline question. I don't absolve either. You do. I'd never defend waters and give her an undeserved pass, there is nothing about her I like or would defend. I'm not sure why you want to do so for the orange guy.

And fake news is only one small part of his sh1t show. And you know that.

You have to admit making up tshirts and fund raising off this is a class act worthy of our President.

Where did Fredo apologize?

CNN press release defended him.

Teedubya it’s not that I disagree with your general points of observation, but the context of public portrayal is exactly why people are upset with the press/left. If it hadn’t been allowed to get where it has you wouldn’t see what you’re pointing out. I’m NOT justifying I’m pointing out cause and effect.

Maybe he didn't say the words I'm sorry but this is good enough for me. He realized he shouldn't have done it and said so. Neither action is tolerable. Cuomo seems to know that.... my guess is the other guy doesnt

“Appreciate all the support but – truth is I should be better than the guys baiting me,” tweeted Cuomo, whose brother is New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and father was the late three-term Gov. Mario Cuomo.

“This happens all the time these days. Often in front of my family,” he wrote. “But there is a lesson: no need to add to the ugliness; I should be better than what I oppose.”

There is no difference between an impromptu unhinged moment followed by apology and a planned thing...... other than the unhinged moment is bad and the planned stuff is good

a little verbal abuse is better than some hot lead...sticks and stones break bones, but words don't hurt...something like that...


not defending that sort of behavior, but it seems that libs have adopted this uncivil behavior during Trump's reign, against cons in public, and should not be surprised when the table is turned...

nowadays, if you are a public figure and go out, there's a chance this will happen...if so, just be glad the perp didn't have a gun...

Hope we can return to the days when a person can go out and have dinner and a show without getting harassed by some knucklehead with a vid-cam trying to get 15 minutes of notoriety...

#37 - Trump had a funny tweet about it, saying to red flag him and take his guns away...something to that extent.

So the reaction (heat of the moment with apparent regret and apology) is worse than the planned action towards you in front of your family combined with the fundraising efforts as a result.

I'm not justifying either, both are bad. It's just interesting to me that some take issue with one but not the other. And I've heard no apology from those that provoked him, just glee and dollah signs.
