According to a post by Ron Filipkowski on twitter, white supremists joined Lara Trump on a boat rally. They were recorded yelling heil Trump and White Power. They were wearing shirts emblazoned with swastikas. Again, there is video of this. Remember when the media actually reacted to Nazis in Charlottsville? Now it's just another day and not worth talking about.
Corporate media: Yawn. We don't like the precise makeup of the interviews that Harris is doing.

(1,914 posts)I caught a few seconds of cable just now, and the "journalist" was going on and on about how "Harris isn't getting her message put." OK, but somehow you think it is newsworthy to get the message out that she isn't getting her message out? Crazy.
crud
(919 posts)news folk don't know how ridiculous it sounds when they say the candidate hasn't gotten their message out. I'm sure they get daily, probably hourly, news releases from the campaign, and scores of campaign staff available to appear on their shows to get their message out, but they act like it's all pig latin, that they can't decipher.
However, Trump can talk complete gibberish and they effortlessly translate that into something that sounds rational and worthy of consideration.

(34,527 posts)Seriously - like just because she isn't personally speaking to YOU Mr or Ms Pundit -
Does not mean her message isn't reaching the voters. I'm highly keyed into her policies in a way that I haven't been since 2000.

(21,198 posts)Journalists cover what is newsworthy and this is newsworthy. It's an election year and the R candidate is sponsoring events with Nazis. There is NO WAY that journalists would shy away from Dems doing the same. Nor should they.

(1,631 posts)A boat displaying swastikas and Donald Trump flags was prevented from joining a parade honoring the former president over the weekend in Florida.
Social media users posted photos of the boat attempting to take part in the parade Sunday in Jupiter, not far from the Republican nominee's residence at Mar-a-Lago, and videos show Trump supporters on another boat using their engine to splash the vessel with the swastika flags, reported Newsweek.
The extremist watchdog account StopAntismemitism identified one of the men on board as "known antisemite Jon Minadeo II" and others from the neo-Nazi group Goyim Defense League.
Video of the boat who sprayed them at link:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/maga-fan-drenches-nazi-as-swastika-adorned-vessel-tries-to-join-trump-boat-parade/ar-AA1sfieE
So who is Jon Minadeo II?
But the decamping of Jon Minadeo Jr. from his former Sonoma County home is something very different. The low-profile Minadeo may be the most prolific anti-Semitic Jew hater in America. Hes taken his Goyim Defense League (GDL) and its associated Goyim TV to Florida, where he hopes to be more welcome than he lately was here.
Although his family owns a Sonoma County restaurant, he has said he left because his reputation was diminished there by coverage from local news organizations that spurred threats to burn down his house.

Anyway, nothing about Lara Trump.

(13,813 posts)I read this morning that these cretins had been "hosed down" or something and kicked out of the lovely and delightful parade of fools, so when I later saw they joined miss lara rump, I thought mmmm, I dunno...
Thanks so much for this clarifying report!!!

(6,933 posts)Which restaurant?
soandso
(1,631 posts)I read the name of it, somewhere - maybe on the wiki page about him. He's of Mexican descent but the family's restaurant is Italian. It's sounds like his family is done with him and they're probably glad he moved away.

In September 2022, Minadeo was arrested in Poland under hate speech laws after he and Robert Wilson demonstrated in front of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp; his swastika necklace and computer were confiscated. While in Poland, Minadeo filmed himself accosting a South Asian tourist on the sidewalk for four minutes, using racial stereotypes, accusing him of invading Europe, and telling him to return to India. Minadeo was arrested on June 26, 2023 for disorderly conduct and public disturbance at Temple Beth Israel in downtown Macon, Georgia during an antisemitic protest he organized.
In November 2023, Minadeo was sentenced to 30 days in jail after being convicted of throwing anti-Semitic pamphlets from his truck. He was tried on a charge of littering, which carried a maximum sentence of 30 days.
He seems like a colossal dipshit

(4,360 posts)By turning their backs pretending they do not see this festering anti-American hate movement and it's clearly fascist totalitarian aims, the media is signaling a complete, corrupted sell-out of their souls.
Selling out your soul has consequences. As experience will demonstrate.

(21,198 posts)about this. IMAGINE if Harris/Walz sponsored an event and participants wore swastikas. They are scared of him and have less journalistic ethics than they did during Charlottesville.

(754 posts)Kamala had a huge lead just days ago. Her rallies are doing quite well. She just broke the 1 billion mark. I wake up this morning and it's tied? And now this? Why don't the media report this story? It's the truth, right? There's something fishy going on. I don't think any of their diversionary bull shit matters at this point.

(4,094 posts)A reminder that Trump has not led in any national poll in over a month. Only 4 of 48 national polls in the past month have shown the race tied. Harris has led 44 of the last 48 national polls.
LilElf70
(754 posts)It's total bullshit. Harris will win, and she will win by a huge number. There are only a few journalists I trust any more on MSM. MSNBC is loaded with ex repiblicants. CNN has been led down a trail that does not equate. Both networks have election analysts that are totally full of shit. Enten and Kornacki. Change the channel.
