Page 45 - False Equivalency News Today

American politics. and the lack of republican leaders who are coming out and calling out the false equivalency is chilling. >> let me to go congressman lance. i remember trump rather or i hadly once said he could shoot someone on fifth avenue and his people would still be with him. it seems like hes getting close to that standard. he can say anything. whether what he said to billy bush on that bus or what he says now about naziism. a whole exponential difference about treatment of women. here he...

A part of the alt-right. so this kind of false equivalency and his inability to speak up honestly and forthrightly about whats going on means that this president, whether intentionally or not, has reinforced the basis of white supremacy in american. and emboldened them in a way. look at their websites and the internet and the extraordinary glee that met and greeted donald trumps initial response. this sounds like so much coercion. this is bowing down to and capitulating to the very thing that he...

I am certain that after all the facts come in about this horrific disgusting incident that happened in virginia today, the president will use the appropriate terms to describe exactly what happened just as president obama did and did not do quite frankly immediately after that senseless act. >> may i speak to that. >> josh, go ahead. >> could i speak to that? president obama certainly did not say many sides. and paris and everyone, the presidents statement today was an absolute moral disaster. h...

Many sides, on both sides. i think that that is what he was referring to. now, in behind site, what is it the best thing to say, probably not because it was misconstrued. but you misconstrue that if you want to see that. if you want to hear that. if you watch that speech or read the speech and think the president is a racist or winking and nodding -- thats what you hear. >> paris. >> if you stop and say he was referring to violence on both sides, then you can say thats probably what he was refer...

Were doing wrong as a country where things like this can happen. >> so joel, he wants to study it. what is there to study? >> i dont think he knows what hes talking about. today was the significant moral test that hes had in his presidency in the first seven months and hes failed it completely and everybody is talking about the false equivalency. and when you dont call out by names neo-nazis and white supremacists, if you have any doubt about that, go to "the daily stormer" where theyre calling ...

Only what russia did but vladimir putins own involvement in that. and we know that in the unclassified version of the report that they released in january. so the russians dont need proof. they know it. thats number one. number two, i really am focused on the piece that president trump and his administration needs to start taking measures here at home. i worry a bit if we get caught in a conversation with the russians about what it means to have an agreement on noninterference. are they going to...

>> kmele: i think its a false equivalency. the attorney general has been doubling down on the drug war. he has been instituting policy. >> eric: you cant say im wrong and then say sessions is is -- >> kmele: i am giving you the reason why. >> eric: i agree with your own criminal justice reform. but i also think kates law is a mandatory must pass, has to go through. keep the country safer. >> kmele: i understand the argument youre making. my argument, to be clear, in a narrow sense, this particul...

However, this is more of the false equivalency that you all have been correctly criticized for and other news media outlets have been correctly criticized for during the election. things are not equal. you have to look at the breakdown of the population. and they support -- republicans support this because their leaders support it. democrats oppose it because their leaders oppose it and because maybe theyre the target sometimes. lets not rewrite history. >> understood. understood. >> weve got to...

We overcame an enormous barrage of negativity, of false equivalency and so much else. but as nate silver, who -- you know, he dioesnt work for me. hes an independent analyst and hes considered to be very reliable. he concluded, if the election was on october 27th, id be your president. but it wasnt. it was on october 28th. ask yourself this. within an hour or two of the "hollywood access" tape being made public, the russian theft of john podestas e-mails hit wikileaks. what a coincidence. you ju...
