WASHINGTON, D.C — (10-14-19) — A fake and violent video portraying president Trump shooting reporters and political opponents has gone viral and condemned by journalists.
During a right-wing conference last week at Trump’s Miami Golf Resort that was attended by Trump allies Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Donald Trump Jr., and Ron DeSantis, showcased a macabre video depicting Donald Trump gunning down and stabbing a number of his political and media opponents.
The Trump Kills Fake News (Church of Fake News) took a famous fight scene from the 2014 film Kingsman: The Secret Service, which features the movie’s protagonist killing a number of people gathered inside a church, and edited it to superimpose the president’s face onto the gunman. The bystanders killed in the scene — who the clip referred to as members of the “Church of Fake News” — were edited to represent Trump’s enemies in the press, the Democratic Party, and progressive movements like Black Lives Matter.

Nearly every major news organization, aside from Fox News, was featured in the video being violently assaulted or killed. Members of the media depicted in the video were from the Washington Post, NPR, NBC, Politico, Talking Points Memo, the Young Turks, and PBS.
According to the New York Times, the NSFW clip, which was originally posted to YouTube last year and can be viewed below, included a watermark with the Trump campaign seal, but the president’s top surrogates present at the American Priority conference denied being present when it aired.

American Priority’s Alex Phillips, who helped organize the event, try to play down the concerns about the video by saying it was simply one section in a pro-Trump “meme exhibit.”
“Content was submitted by third parties and was not associated with or endorsed by the conference in any official capacity,” Phillips told the Times. “American Priority rejects all political violence and aims to promote a healthy dialogue about the preservation of free speech. This matter is under review.”
Trump 2020 campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh quickly tried to distance the president from the outrageous video by saying…“That video was not produced by the campaign, and we do not condone violence.”
Needless to say, twitter was quick to respond to the violent video
If this was done at a democratic gathering, faux news would be running it 25 hours a day, cLling on the fbi to arrest

Another “joke”? Or an actual incitement to violence? This was shown at a mainstream GOP conference in support of Trump. There is no distinction any more between mainstream GOP & violent, far-right nationalism. Even though they subsequently denied foreknowledge of the clip.

Just how are we supposed to raise empathetic, thoughtful children in this cesspool he has created?

Here’s an idea: Trump could travel to northern Syria to apply his superhero powers to single-handedly settle the situation there, guns a-blazing…. Sorry, forgot that Trump’s enemies are domestic, not foreign authoritarians. (This is nuts.)
