The Young Turks Discuss The Fox-Newsification Of Donald Trump Supporters

The Young Turks visited a Donald Trump rally or, to be more specific, the outside of a rally where a protest almost turned violent. TYT’s Jordan Chariton argued that Fox News has “scrambled” the brains of Trump supporters.

After the rally Chariton discussed the rally with TYT’s Eric Byler. “What bothers me,” Chariton said, in addition to how segregated the Trump supporters are, “is just how off-the-reservation some of these people are.”

He cited as an example one woman who raised her fist as she exclaimed, “We are for Trump all the way!” Her explanation was that Trump is “the only man that can make America realize that we need to stand up for our rights.”

“What happened to your rights? Chariton asked.

“They’ve been taken away by Obama!” she shouted.

“It’s the ‘Fox-newsification’ of the right-wing,” Chariton continued. “And It’s taken normal people, who may be a little conservative, and taken their brains and scrambled it. And not all of the Trump supporters are like that but I’ve met enough of them now to know it’s not isolated.”

There’s good reason to think so. Fox News has spent all of President Obama’s two terms suggesting that he’s a menace to America: Fox has accused him of “trampling on the Constitution,” getting “in bed with” America’s enemies, suggested he has a secret jihad agenda, and has joined in Donald Trump’s dishonest smear campaign to accuse Obama of being literally un-American, e.g.

The result is that Trump supporters may be even more frightening than he is. As one protester TYT talked to noted, “Once Trump is gone, they will still be here.”

This is the actual report to which Jordan Chariton and I were referring above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Safwzr_XoP8&list=PLqSpk99bLYIRxhCKHHoSvxr40SANT4eqG&index=2

NewsHounds is quoting a behind-the-scenes video from YouTube.com/TYTpolitics but I thought you’d like to see the actual report as well.

I am making 85 bucks hourly for working from home. I never thought that it was legit but my best friend is earning 10 thousand dollars a month by working online and she recommended me to try it. Try it out on following website, you have nothing to lose…

Boy oh boy, just look at the SHEER HATRED etched on the face of that racist b**ch in the above video. Mark my words: if (heaven forbid) Trump wins in November, SHE WILL BE SINGING A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TUNE when her military aged loved ones are DRAFTED and sent off to DIE in the Middle East (especially Iran).

There was a local news story of a tow trucker driver who was a rabid Trump supporter. So he responded to a call of a woman broken down on the highway. When he saw she had a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker he refused her service. It took 2 hours for another tow truck to show up to assist her.

A local news camera crew tracked him down and he was unapologetic and said he’d do it all again. Need I mention the guy was worked up into a complete lather and mad as Hell?

This is purple swing state Virginia. I think I mentioned previously a co-worker refuses to eat lunch with me because I criticized Trump and I was gentle about it (I.e., not nearly as vocal as I am here).

There is nothing like the Trump phenomenon I’ve ever witnessed in my life. This is way beyond the standard team sports Republicans versus Democrats silliness typical of elections.

TYT really have no room to point fingers at Fox News after the blatant bias they shown during the 2016 Democratic primaries. Never forgetting Cenk openly hoping that the Benghazi investigations bring Hillary Clinton down.

what a bunch of fools. Just wait to they see the real TrumpKKK. And what rights has The President taking away from them? These nuts believed that Social Security and Medicare is free but do the assholes look at their pay check, FICA is money everyone pays into social security and medicare? no they are to lazy to fact check.Under this President the unemployment went from 10% down to 5%, gas went from near $4.00 to about $2.20 a gallon. There are more people who have health insurance and not have to use the emergency room and that save money for everyone who use the hospital because there is no extra charges pass on to them, The nation debt has been cut by 2/3 there has been a large number or terrorists who have die and not able to do harm to Americans, and so on with out help from congress. If he walk on water they would be angry because he would be trying be like Jesus. Oh what the hell, it’s no use these people just can’t deal with facts and truth just had to get that off my chest, to be frank I really don’t give a damn about the low IQ hanging fruit because not only will their hate eat them alive but also their children and grand children so sad because hate live by hate and after all the people that they hate are gone who do they think will be next because hate has to eat.

Confusing commentary from TYT, very surprised at how scattered this video was. The reporter even admits they rushed this video. The reporter keeps saying “they” but the protesters and the supporters are indiscernible in his narrative. Truly an opportunity wasted in an effort to be “first” and make a deadline.
