 ‘Media Malfeasance,’ ‘Nastiness’ Is ‘How You Got Trump’ and ‘Are Going to Get More Trump’

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T


On his daily Facebook Live podcast “The Ben Shapiro Show” Thursday, host and Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Wire Ben Shapiro called out the media for its “malfeasance” and “nastiness,” explaining that the media’s bias and ill treatment of the president is exactly “how you got Trump” and “are going to get more Trump” in the future. “Media malfeasance, media nastiness – this is how you got Trump, and this is how you are going to get more Trump,” stated Ben Shapiro. “So, by all means continue to do this. By all means, continued to think you can out-nasty President Trump. There’s no one on earth who can out-nasty the president of the United States. It ain’t gonna work. It just is not going to work.” Ben Shapiro’s remarks came after leftists and figures in the media tried to “out-Trump Trump,” from Samantha Bee, who called Ivanka Trump a “feckless c--t" and suggested that President Trump would want to have sex with his daughter, to writer Michaela Angela Davis who suggested that everyone who voted for President Trump is a racist, to a news reporter who suggested that Trump can’t host a White House sports and fitness day because he’s overweight, and to CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta who complained about Sarah Huckabee Sanders for her statements on the firing of Roseanne. Below is a transcript of Ben Shapiro’s remarks from his show on Thursday: Ben Shapiro: “How does the left respond to everything happening inside the Trump administration? The only way to express this would be to say in the most vile and despicable possible way. “So instead of dealing with the issues with the Trump administration, instead of talking about trade policy, for example, or instead of talking about the Right to Try legislation or instead of even talking about the stuff that President Trump says, instead, the left has decided they have to out-Trump Trump. They have to go lower than low. “If you remember, Hillary Clinton said, ‘When they go low, we go high.’ And it didn’t work for her, so it seems like the left community has decided that when Republicans go medium, they will go as low as humanly possible. “Case in point— The case in point over the last 24 hours is Samantha Bee. So, Samantha Bee, as I have said, has been in a run and gun battle with Trevor Noah and, and Amy Schumer and a bunch of other leftist comedians for most unfunny human in the world, but I think that she clearly takes the cake here. I’ve always been leaning toward Samantha Bee. I’ll be honest with you. In these sweepstakes, I’ve always thought that Samantha Bee was the frontrunner. I always that that she led by at least a head, and it seems that she has drawn full, she’s drawing lengths, this is now like Secretariat in the unfunny, in the unfunny horse race. Here she is yesterday going after Ivanka Trump. Ivanka Trump, you’ll recall, had the temerity, the audacity to tweet out a picture of herself over the weekend because it was Memorial Day weekend, and the left said, ‘How dare she take a picture with her kid, because there are people being separated from their kids on the border right now.’ And as we discussed earlier this week, this critique makes no sense whatsoever – like, no sense. But that didn’t stop Samantha Bee. “So, Samantha Bee says that not only is Ivanka wrong to take that picture, she is a bleep.” Samantha Bee: “Ivanka Trump, who works at the White House chose to post the second-most oblivious tweet we’ve seen this week. “You know, Ivanka. That’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices you feckless c—t. he listens to you. Put on something tight and low cut and tell your father to f---ing stop it.” Shapiro: “So much bravery. So much class. So much decency. “This is how you got Trump. This is how you got Trump. “So, in a second I’m going to discuss more on how the left got Trump. “Okay? Okay? “So, Samantha Bee, obviously, is, I mean, I won’t use the language which she uses here, but she’s a very bad person. Let’s just say that. She’s a very bad person. “What Ivanka Trump taking a picture with her baby has to do with being called a ‘feckless [c-word]’ is beyond me. And how Samantha Bee keeps her job after that is beyond me as well. “It seems to me that there is certain language that is so outside the bounds of normal discourse that you can get fired for it. Like, Roseanne calling Valerie Jarrett an ape, it seems to me like that was a fireable offense. And it seems to me like Samantha Bee calling Ivanka Trump a ‘feckless [c-word]’ for no reason other than she is in Trump’s orbit and has a child is insane. It is insane. “And then she goes on from there, obviously, to suggest that Trump wants to have sex with his own daughter, and therefore, if Ivanka wears something tight fit that she can change immigration policy. “The rage of the left, the utter insane response of the left to everything that Trump does, it’s driving more people into President Trump’s arms. Like, Trump may not have to actually do anything to win reelection if the left continues to pursue this sort of nonsense, this sort of vile nonsense. … “Media malfeasance, media nastiness – this is how you got Trump, and this is how you are going to get more Trump. So, by all means continue to do this. By all means, continued to think you can out-nasty President Trump. There’s no one on earth who can out-nasty the president of the United States. It ain’t gonna work. It just is not going to work. “And it’s also one of the reasons why there is such schadenfreude when it comes to the Obama administration being ousted. Because they were quietly nasty, they were quietly sliding in the knife to so many Americans, and Trump is just a hammer. So he’s just obviously out there with Thor’s hammer, hitting people.”

Can you put a few paragraph breaks into that thing? It is standard procedure to make something readable. 

Donald Trump had his teenage daughter Ivanka sit on his lap, with short skirts on sometimes, for a number of publicity photos.  He allowed Howard Stern to describe her as "a piece of ass". There are numerous other public indications of his admiration for Ivanka, at every age of her life. 

He made that bed and of course crude people will use it against him. 

-

Samantha Bee called her feckless because Ivanka refuses to use her position to influence her father for good. Instead Ivanka enables her father to proceed like the pos he is.

I posted this in the other thread about this topic, but there's some very good commentary here (the entire article at the link is worth reading):

Language’s ability to inflict harm depends on the power of who’s wielding it and against whom it is being wielded. I’m not talking simply about the power of the individuals in question. For example, it’s not about the damage done by Samantha Bee to Ivanka Trump or Roseanne Barr to Valerie Jarrett, all of whom are individuals with various kinds of power. It’s not about   them . Rather, it’s about considering the relative degrees of power of the entities and ideas that those individuals are representing.

So when Bee goes after Ivanka for her complicity with and support of a presidential administration that’s doing grievous harm to the bodies, families, and lives of human beings, Bee is acting on behalf of less powerful people (the immigrants whose children, including babies, are being taken away from them) and speaking out against the grotesquely powerful and abusive (the administration that is creating and enforcing this barbaric policy).

It is true that in her critique of Ivanka Trump, Bee used an expletive that is explicitly misogynistic; it is wholly reasonable to object to the word   cunt   for feminist reasons. It is also reasonable and worthwhile to consider why a term for female anatomy has become such a potent pejorative; why does a word that means vagina also mean “very bad person,”? That’s a valid question, but it’s crucial to consider it in   this   context. Bee was not reinforcing or replicating the crude harm that “cunt” has been used to inflict historically: the patriarchal diminishment and vilification of women. In fact, Bee was using it to criticize a woman precisely because that woman is acting   on behalf of that patriarchy , one that systematically diminishes women, destroys families, and hurts children.

This context makes the situation fundamentally different from   Roseanne Barr comparing Valerie Jarrett to an ape , as she did earlier this week. That comparison was an explicitly racist locution with explicitly racist roots, but unlike Bee’s deployment of “cunt”   against   a misogynistic and racist administration, Barr’s racism has been deployed   in support of   that racist and misogynistic administration. That administration, as well as the party that has helped to build and shield it, came to power in part on explicitly racist and misogynistic rhetoric that both vilified and promised revenge against the previous, historic administration of Barack Obama, of which Jarrett was a member. That context matters, as does the fact that the Trump administration is using the power it so gained to inflict real-world racist and misogynistic harm on human beings. That means that Barr’s utterance mirrored and reinforced abuses being enacted by more powerful people against less powerful people, while Bee’s challenged those abuses.

[..]

Look no further than the fact that Sarah Huckabee Sanders can say with a straight face that a comedian being mean to Ivanka Trump on television is “vile,” “vicious,” “appalling,” and “disgusting,” but she will never apply those apt descriptors to the administration she’s fronting for: one that is led by a man who brags about grabbing women by their pussies, calls human beings animals, and enacts policies that separate children from their parents in the name of keeping asylum-seekers out of the United States.

You don’t really think we were united under the obama regime, do you?

I dont know when all this division started but at this time I sure dont see many trying to do anything about it except to perhaps increase it if it's to their benefit at the time.

He has done things to enrich himself and the 1%, that's not for America.  He hasn't done jack shit for our country.  It looks like you're just fine with things as chaotic as they are so you can stick it to other Americans.

You fail to get the message contained in the article. The more the MSM attacks Trump, his associates, and his family, the more it strengthens him in the public's eyes....who as a group are tired and fed up with all the negativity, relentless attacks, and loony conspiracy theories. This will be demonstrated vividly again in November.

A great many Democrats were discouraged about voting for HRC in 2016 due to party infighting.

Of course we now know much of that was egged on by Russian trolls who worked for Vlad Putin...

That will not be the case Tuesday November 6th when any Dems not voting will be rotten eggs...

to think you can out-nasty President Trump. There’s no one on earth who can out-nasty the president of the United States.

Yep that pretty much says it all. At this time, Sadly I must agree. President trump certainly seems to be from near the very bottom or at the very bottom of today's political human trash barrel. 

Hard to go lower that that. So why try ? Who really wants to win the race to the bottom anyway ? What's there to want down there ? More trash ?   NO Thank You.

Taking the high road is much harder but at least when you get there you are still a whole person.

None of this means anything.  Ted Nugent used the ' c word ' on multiple occasions in references to Hillary Clinton.  And that got him an invite to the Oval Office. 

Is the nation divided?  Of course and the divisions will persist for another generation.  Steve Bannon just returned from Europe from a tour with the rising nationalists in the region.

The trouble with right wing power is when it finally collapses the death toll is very high.

I love it. For 8 years we heard the right yell and scream how Obama divided the country because he is black.... But here comes trump, a pro-fascist, KKK, white nationalist supporter that can't be bothered to say a word when one of his deplorables compares a black person to an ape, but comes unglued when someone else says, "c*nt", (a term he has used many times)? 

The right wing says they don't want a divided nation, but completely supports the most divisive president this country has ever seen. Hypocrites.

It's so ironic.  It was all ok when Obama was the target, but now we have one of the "two worst candidates in history" in the oval office, division was going to happen.  It's made worse because the donald loves creating and keeping the division going.  

I hope we find some candidates to run in 2020 who will bring some sanity back to governance.  We can be sure we will not be uniting while that POS is in office.
