Ed O’Keefe’s Trump Derangement Is So Bad, Even The White House Press Corps Is Laughing At Him

Ed O’Keefe’s Trump Derangement Is So Bad, Even The White House Press Corps Is Laughing At Him

CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe learned a new concept Wednesday: facts.

During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, O’Keefe asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for examples of President Donald Trump being “falsely called racist.” O’Keefe was referencing a post Trump made the day prior honoring Jesse Jackson, in which the president wrote that he has been “falsely and consistently called a racist by the scoundrels and lunatics on the radical left …”

It was a statement of fact — but for O’Keefe, it was apparently a mystery worth investigative journalism.

“You’re kidding, right?” Leavitt said, to which the whole room burst out into laughter.

The irony is that CBS News, O’Keefe’s own network, spent years falsely accusing Trump of being a racist.

Consider July 16, 2019, when CBS News claimed Trump had a “history of inflaming racial tensions” and falsely accused Trump of being “forgiving of white nationalists” after the 2017 Charlottesville rally. CBS News cited Trump saying that there were “very fine people, on both sides,” but deceptively cut the quote to leave out the part where Trump said “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”

It was a false accusation, to say the least.

Trump wasn’t being racist, he was being a realist pointing out that these foreign-born, America-hating Congresswomen hail from countries that barely have a functioning government. Another false accusation.

CBS News wrote on July 16, 2019: “President Trump has refused to walk back his racist tweets targeting a group of Democratic congresswomen of color in part because he believes his supporters will stand by him.”

O’Keefe himself reported on that same day from Des Moines, Iowa that Trump supporters were standing by the president.

Of course these are just a few of the many false accusations lobbed at the president by left-wing media, Democrats, and commentators over the years.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said Trump is the “most racist” president that never owned slaves. Don Lemon accused Trump of being “racist” in 2018 while still employed by CNN.

O’Keefe’s own reporting proves the President was right to claim he’s been falsely accused of being a racist. Yet somehow, he still asked the question. Maybe before wandering into a press briefing to ask a basic question about reality, O’Keefe should check his own archives.


EU Parliament Says Men Are Women And Anyone Can Get Pregnant

EU Parliament Says Men Are Women And Anyone Can Get Pregnant

The EU Parliament has done great harm. This is far more than progressive virtue signaling. We hear warnings of transhumanism.

There was no vote on whether a gender-confused woman is a man. There is a very simple reason for this. Trans ideology is a wholesale assault upon the feminine. When trans ideology metastasizes in policy and practice, women pay the price. As Kara Dansky boldly noted in her important book, The Abolition of Sex, “‘[T]ransgender’ is simply a made-up concept … used to justify all kinds of atrocities” against women. “It is, in effect a men’s rights movement intended to objectify women’s bodies and erase us as a class.” She correctly adds, “It is left-wing misogyny on steroids.”

The EU proved her right. But it gets even crazier.

Do not miss the irony that these two votes were cast as the EU’s priorities for the 70th session on the UN Commission on the Status of Women. “Women” now meaning anything you want it to mean. The EU’s priority is erasing the meaning of women and human fertility across these 27 member countries and the United Nations.

This vote has no binding rule of law in any nation. But it will be highly influential in each of these nations and beyond. As investigative reporter Gerald Posner explains, “Language adopted at this stage often migrates — from guidance, to funding priorities, to regulatory expectation.” Posner explains:

When legislators decline to state who can become pregnant, they are not merely broadening inclusion. They are signaling that biology itself is negotiable in statutory language.

Indeed, a society that publicly demonstrates, then celebrates, its inability to define male and female, as well as the nature of human fertility, is certainly doing so much more. No one forgot what any seven-year-old well knows. Just like the abortion industrial complex, they celebrate because they are deliberately striking at the foundation of the goodness of ordered creation and life itself. You do not have to have a keen spiritual sense to appreciate the demonic nature of it all.

Subverting Life

“Women’s health care” and “gender-affirming care” both mutilate the body of the vulnerable young and thwart natural fertility. They issue from a spirit of death and deception. This is what last week’s EU vote was about and why the parliamentarians’ celebration of it properly strikes us as ghoulish. They redefined into oblivion that which gives life.

Women and girls throughout the world should be furious. Men should be as well, on their behalf. I am, for the feminine dignity of my wife and my four amazing daughters. It is now the official policy of the EU that woman no longer holds any objective meaning. It is a title to be fully claimed by any man. Their new understanding of equality demands it. As such, pregnancy has no feminine virtue or ontological truth. And do not miss that if a man can be a woman, manhood ceases to exist as well.

Trans ideology is a poison deliberately attacking that which is most true and beautiful in humanity. It leads only to death, confusion, and sterilization. Ask the detransitioner who now suffers from lies told under the deception of false compassion. It is diabolical.

Reject and Repudiate

This is why everything having to do with “trans” must be unapologetically rejected and repudiated. Comprehensively excised from human language and practice. No one should ever think they are being kind when using “gender pronouns.” They are the introductory catechism for this new pagan religion.

Always refuse to participate, and do so like you mean it. Your courage will be contagious and the lie will crumble away. Never feel compelled to pretend that being “trans” is something real and must be respected with compassion. It is not a medical or psychological diagnosis. It is a false ideology manifest only in an assertion. It is why LGBTQ identity mushroomed overnight. It is never compassionate to play along with a lie.

The EU Parliament has done great harm here. This is far more than progressive virtue signaling. We hear warnings of transhumanism. EU leaders have delivered this by defining away the objective reality of humanity as male and female. Its pernicious ripples will radiate beyond their Strasbourg auditorium, throughout the United Nations, and countless illiberal European nations, — into your community, which is already inundated with trans deception.

The only antidote is to stand against it, unmask its deception, and denounce it at every turn.
