This week’s Liberal Media Scream features a PBS host calling for the prosecution of President Trump for the “mass murder” of the 150,000 Americans lost to COVID-19.
Appearing on MSNBC’s PoliticsNation on Saturday, Alexander Heffner, the host of The Open Mind, also rapped Attorney General William Barr while talking with the MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton.
Heffer argued that “if we had an actual attorney general in this country,” he would be “prosecuting” Trump and complicit Republicans for “the malfeasance, the negligence, the homicide, the mass murder.”
After Sharpton read a tweet which he characterized as showing Trump “fighting with his own health experts,” Heffner replied:
“Yeah, he’s done that from the beginning. I mean, the scientific illiteracy has immobilized our country. It’s made it impossible to comprehensively assault the medical crisis. You know, in your prior segment, you were discussing the attorney general. If we had an actual attorney general in this country, he would be, or she would be, investigating and prosecuting the malfeasance, the negligence, the homicide, the mass murder — it’s gotten to a point with over 150,000 American souls gone that it’s not just inexcusable, it’s genocidal. It’s mania. And I think that the Senate candidates that you referenced are going to be campaigning for the health and well-being of their citizens. And life and death ought not be a partisan issue, but we’ve discovered it is now.”
Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains our weekly pick: “Leave it to PBS to employ someone so enraged by President Trump that he would stoop to vile allegations of mass murder and genocide over a disagreement with a tweet. Some not so well spent taxpayer money.”
Rating: Five out of five screams.
