Slate news editor says President Trump is misusing military might in an attempt to undermine a trans-national movement like Occupy
Is America overdue for a military coup? Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said America is, this week on his show, The Five.
The host started talking about the leftist Occupy Wall Street movement, which he dubbed a “global village of disruption and irrationality” that was “lured into the digital dark heart of the internet with promises of better opportunities and a better life” that, unfortunately, was “ruined” by better-funded, armed terrorists.
When the OWS movement started six years ago, Jon Stewart noted, it was not always so threatening. “[It was] a little hippie thing in Zuccotti Park,” Gutfeld said. “But you know something? The tipping point was the president’s policies in Afghanistan and Iraq. Everyone grew tired of the job loss. That’s when OWS spread into a global movement.”
It was a military intervention, indeed.
What better ways to reduce the unemployment rates than through stronger economies? “Zuccotti Park went down. The economy blew up. You know what the next ‘short-term solution’? It’s a military intervention. John McCain already said he’s on the case.”
Gutfeld continued: “The government takeover of job creation didn’t go over well. And, what’s even crazier, what’s really going on here is that the roots of this attack on liberty start somewhere else – in the newsrooms.”
He was referring to reports that CNN executives “hate Trump’s political rhetoric”, “watch the flames from their heat-witted legal team” and describe their efforts “as slow-motion genocide” to copy President Obama’s 2008 election win.
“Nothing like facing a movement that can take on the elite media, as well as our own national security apparatus, before you.”
