Corporate Media’s Shameless Liz Cheney Hoax Is What Real ‘Disinformation’ Looks Like
One of the most powerful and corrupt players in American politics is spreading a sensational lie to manipulate voters four days before the final day of voting in the 2024 presidential election. The lie is that Donald Trump threatened to execute dynastic war hawk Liz Cheney by firing squad, and the culprit is America’s propaganda press.
Anyone who watches the clip of what Trump said will discern that he was obviously suggesting Cheney pick up a rifle and join the thousands of young Americans she’s sent overseas to fight in forever wars. Anyone who interprets it differently is either lying or so stupid he should take a lifelong vow of silence starting today. . .
Cheney, beside herself at the thought of having to do what she asks young American men and women to do, ripped the first half of Trump’s comment from its context and claimed Trump had “threaten[ed]” her “with death.”
