This is the moment that Donald Trump threatens an ABC reporter after they asked about free speech. Speaking with ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Tuesday (16 September), the president appeared to become annoyed after the reporter asked him about Pam Bondi’s crackdown on “hate speech”. “A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech,” Mr Karl said, to which Mr Trump responded: “She’d probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart.” After slamming ABC, the president claimed that he “wants everything to be fair” and placed blame with the “radical left who have done tremendous damage to the country”.
I agree with you on most of that. As someone that’s spent the majority of their life broke, I will stick up for the lower class and say that many of the folks I’ve worked with in menial roles were aware of the world and able to express themselves and interact socially at a level that MAGAts just aren’t able to. I don’t think social status has anything to do with it. MAGA prides itself in rejection of anything bordering on intellectual, across the board.
Its less about class and more about socioeconomics. Kids get out what they put in (and parents go a long way towards teaching kids to get what they can out of school… which is why each generation has more and more developmental issues). But it is a lot easier to learn when you aren’t spending your entire day bouncing between being scared for your life to just trying to keep your heads down as an overworked and underpaid teacher needs to babysit the kids who desperately need more help but can’t get it because public school in “the ghetto”.
