Eric Trump has blasted the lifesaving COVID-19 vaccine as stripping the freedoms in this country, opening a potential rift with his famous vaccine supporting father.
Former President Trumps second-oldest son gave a fawning interview with right-wing media personality Candace Owens. He spoke out harshly against the shots that the twice-impeached president proudly spearheaded during his time in office.
The vaccine represents, literally, the stripping of freedoms in this country, which is deeply, deeply, deeply troubling, Eric Trump told Owens, who nodded in agreement in the video for The Wire, a far right-wing outlet.
The younger Trump claimed the development of the vaccine is part and parcel of a supposed wide-ranging liberal plot to squelch religion and abolish gun rights.

(11,726 posts)Neither can do any kind of thinking on the fly. They have little knowledge and less understanding of how things work. WTF is a "martyr document"? He is trying to sound intelligent but failing miserably and Owens, also being an idiot, can't help him out of the hole he is digging.
The idiot is pulling things out of his ass. While one statue of Thomas Jefferson was removed from the New York City Hall and one statue of George Washington was vandalized and toppled illegally in Portland during protests, there is no widespread movement to remove them all. Also, when you make someone a "martyr" their status GROWS you idiot. No one is making Washington or Jefferson martyrs, they are central figures in the creation of the country. Their history may be revised to reflect the realities that they owned slaves. That may diminish their mythical status, but it is not erasing them or their contributions to the United States.
This is typical of Conservative thinking. Binary and shallow.
You want to see him fumble around for words like an idiot? Simple. Ask him to explain "HOW" vaccines actually strip freedoms. Simply ask him to explain his position.

(3,633 posts)but I'm afraid I would be wrong. These people will just say anything to stay in the lime light. They have zero shame. How amazing, an entire family without an ounce of shame. Yeah, I say that like I don't really want to believe that, and I don't want to believe it, but considering everything it's hard not to believe they are shameless.
