Who tf calls Trump a communist?
It’s pretty amazing how people are trying so hard to pretend that her calling Trump a communist is not her calling Trump a communist.
Right now, we are dealing with, as I called him at my speech on the Ellipse, a tyrant. We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators. That’s what we’re dealing with right now in Donald Trump.
The line about communist dictators is an allegory to tyrants that the general public will be familiar with.
She’s illustrating her point. In context, her words are reasonable.
Her words are reasonable when she’s calling him a dictator, and a tyrant. Her words are not reasonable when she calls him a communist, which he clearly isn’t.
I don’t read this as calling him a communist. My interpretation is she is evoking the imagery of a communist dictator since that is the type of tyrant most Americans are familiar with.
This was in a spoken interview, not a written piece. The threshold for reasonable nitpicking should be higher in this context.
Yeah, and I saw the clip, and it was clear that she was calling him a communist dictator. The cope on this from libs is amazingly bad.
I’ve seen the clip as well. Please feel free to elaborate on how you reached this conclusion. To me it’s clear she’s evoking the imagery of a communist dictator as an example of a tyrant.
I do think the threshold for nitpicking should be higher here due to it being a spoken interview. Why does this matter so much to you?
Jesus fuck.
Also, why tf are so many people downvoting this?
Because she didn’t call him a communist. She likened him to communist dictators and everyone decided to latch onto the communist part rather than the dictator part.
She clearly called him a communist. You can cope and spin it all you want, but it was pretty clear what she said.
It was pretty clear to me that she didn’t.
