I wonder how many of the people who criticized trump for 'promoting violence towards the media' with that tweet are going to also criticize CNN for now 'promoting violence' towards someone who made a gif.

Probably not many i'm guessing since all some people seem to care about is being against Trump no matter what despite how hypocritical it may be. 

What violence have they promoted exactly?

 

@underlined OR! We're talking about two completely different cases.

Edit: Please read my clarification on the first page of this thread.

Anyone that supports a company/person doxing an individual is pretty disgusting, this isn't about the person but the precedent set.

You might want to reread my initial post.  Especially the main part, where I addressed the topic.  

Seriously, if you're so into Trump that you get mad about someone making a quip that CNN and Trump are both arrogant than you need to step back or seek help.  If you're saying that Trump has nothing to do with this topic then that's just downright silly.  It would also make you a complete hypocrite, as you said nothing to the person to whom I was replying, who took the topic in that direction in the first place.

Except for the part where I voted for Bernie. 

Lol. Shut that argument down rather quickly

Because Trump's camp over at their subreddit is CLEARLY completely innocent of this type of behavior

 

Oh wait

1st that is 4chan not Reddit, 2nd they were targetting Antifa Members who do nothing but promote Violence, 3rd one of the examples used in that article was the Antifa guy who nearly killed a guy using a bike lock 4chan righfully tracked that scumbag down so charges would be pressed on him not to mention that it was later found out that this guy has assaulted more people as well.

Sorry if for the copy-paste job, but it's too important.

Buzzfeed of all companies EXPOSED CNN, saying that it wasn't actually HanA**holeSolo's Gif. The ratio aspect of the video has been confirmed to be impossible for the video to be from Reddit, so they just BLACKMAILED the wrong guy.

I don't even know anymore.

So the user bragged about it when he wasn't even responsible and has been exposed?

 

And now BUZZFEED is actually showing honest journalism?

 

What the hell is going on???

Pure, F'ing, Chaos.

I dont know if it's 100% true, but the ratio aspects of the video and the editing just show it wasn't the Solo character. When it comes to tracing a national meme, CNN can't even report the truth.

LMAO

CNN right now is like that one crazy ex who pulls off the biggest scene to try to expose you, but is somehow shut down by the most hated dude in the room.


Talk about an embarrassment. United Airlines and CNN are the most humiliating companies this year

The meme was created by some dude in 4chan reportedly some Mexican guy some time ago, the reddit user found it and posted it on r/The_Donald and shortly after it Donald Trump tweeted the meme.
