CNN Now Attacking the Dad Who Trolled Biden With Bizarre Claim – Opinion

The mania of the left going after dad Jared Schmeck for trolling Joe Biden by saying “Let’s go, Brandon” is ramping up. They’ve been trending Schmeck’s name all day on Twitter, discussing ways they can go after him for the temerity of teasing Biden. Think about how you feel when someone embarrasses your guy. This is a reason to threaten the father and try and get him fired or harm his family’s business.

But now we’ve moved on to the next part of the drama. He has been identified by Twitter randos who are now targeting him. The liberal media joins the fray. Instead of looking at this with some perspective — it’s a joke, people — they’re completely all-in with doing all they can to demonize Schmeck and what he said.

A CNN panel was upset that the dad was rude to Biden’s face. But then, one of their commentators takes it into complete bizarro-land by saying that Schmeck’s comment equals “insurrection.”

The CNN analyst, Ron Brownstein of The Atlantic, says, “It’s ungracious. It’s juvenile. It’s reprehensible.” But it’s not about incivility, he claims, “I think it’s fundamentally about insurrection.” He claims it’s a comment on Biden being an “illegitimate president.”

They are kidding us! After four years of completely demonizing President Donald Trump, calling him every name in the book, with Democrats like Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) even encouraging the harassment of Trump officials, you’re upset with a joke based on a media lie covering up Americans unhappiness with Biden? Now, they’re dismissing even the unhappiness with Biden that the joke reflects and terming it “insurrection” just to be upset with Biden? Is this fast approaching the Soviet level, where all the state media says is that you have to be loyal to your party and no questions or calls out the problems?

Everything now is “insurrection” if they don’t like it, just like everything was previously racist if they needed to attack it. This was a joke — a peaceful protest if you will. Meanwhile, actual insurrection and violent protest are “mostly peaceful,” according to CNN, if it’s a protest with which they agree.

They’re not upset with what Schmeck said. They’re upset that it exposed Biden for all his failings and his cognitive issues — that’s the real problem with what he said and why they’re so mad. They’re upset that Biden repeated what Schmeck said and agreed with it, showing he had no idea what was being said. Funny thing about this is that the more Biden’s story is promoted, the more Americans believe Biden to be a failure.

But there’s another dangerous path that CNN is treading with this approach. Claiming bizarrely that this is “fundamentally about insurrection” is a slander of Jared Schmeck. They better watch out going down this road if they don’t want to get sued again, as they were after they defamed Nicholas Sandmann. Sandmann settled with them, and NBC has a new one. CNN is lurching into that territory again, and they better back out if they don’t want to make it worse.

I wrote yesterday about some truthful things that CNN managed to say, including the recognition of Biden’s “confusion” — a big recognition for the MSM to finally note — and that Biden has economic approval numbers worse than Jimmy Carter’s.

But they just can’t run a day without insanity.
