Media Upset With Trump’s Honesty Around NY Bombing

Yesterday a bomb went off in the Chelsea section of New York City, after an earlier bomb went off in Seaside, New Jersey. Donald Trump announced the bombing at his next scheduled event. The media went into a frenzy because Trump called a bombing a bombing before city officials confirmed.

They even asked Hillary Clinton about Trump’s remarks right after she called the incident a bombing herself on her campaign plane.

It is not irresponsible to call a bombing a bombing. That is in fact what happened and what social media networks were calling it. What the media don’t realize is that Americans are sick and tired of being lied to.

Almost contemporaneously to Trump calling it a bombing, the mayor of New York, Bill DeBlasio, was quick to rule out terrorism even before authorities had conducted a full investigation. You don’t see Clinton attacking him. No, she’s talking about how she’s in contact with him.

So let’s recap the past 24 hours: a bombing at a Marine Corps 5K in Seaside, New Jersey; a bombing in the Chelsea area of New York City; the discovery of a secondary Al-Qaeda-style pressure cooker bomb in NYC; and a jihadist stabbing spree at a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota. But of course the media aren’t incredulous at DeBlasio calling the bombing “intentional” but not terrorism.

Is there any wonder why Trump has taken a lead in the presidential race? People are hungering for their leaders to speak the truth about terrorism, not to continue to obfuscate and lie. (For more from the author of “Media Upset With Trump’s Honesty Around NY Bombing” please click HERE)
