Violent Trump parody video shown at supporters conference in Miami

Lisa said:
If it was shown at a Trump rally then the RNC are complicit, unless they plan to argue that Trump isn't a Republican and they disavow any relationship.

As another poster has stated before me, the video was shown in a side-room, rather than being a main event. There's no evidence yet that the RNC knew the video existed.

Total fail. Your examples are all private individuals and small groups. None are sponsored by the Democratic Party or presented to Democrat audiences at Democratic events.

The video shown in Miami was produced by Trump supporters and shown, as part of the conference, to all in attendance.

So you're claiming you know the names of the persons behind the video? If so, you're one up on the official news media.

So what are their names?

Why are you bringing the DNC into this, Lisa? Did the RNC produce the video above, or did the RNC support them?

It was shown at an RNC event unless Donald Trump isn't a republican and that event was apolitical. Intent follows the bullet.

First of all, the video was not played at the conference but rather on a small TV in one of the other rooms.

Second, the WH had immediately issued a condemnation of that video when the NYT first reported it.

The president whom tweeted 20 times in less than 1 hour on Friday about all kinds of crap has been silent.
We have been told that Trump is the communicator of his administration. Only what he says matters....silence=complicity.
For those with but dems, but liberal etc

WATCH: Violent Trump Parody vs. Original Kingsman Video | Heavy.com

As for the Trump parody version, it appears to have been first released in 2018 by The GeekzTeam. They’ve released numerous Trump parody videos on their YouTube channel, which has more than 18,000 subscribers.

The article also has the video embedded if you want to view. Essentially, it is the Kingsman church scene with Trump's photo superimposed on Colin Furth and news logs superimposed for heads on the congregation.

The video was produced by private individuals. The media is fully aware this was produced a year ago not by Trump, his campaign, or the RNC but by a private group.

It wasn't a "Republican Event," it was an event put on by private organization, and it wasn't "sponsored" by the Republican Party.

And this is what the event organizers had to say about the video:

American Priority Festival and Conference

It was also denounced by Trump and the White House.

The video was made by a rando on YouTube more than a year ago.

The things I linked to were indeed comparable to this, but, big surprise, you handwave them off.

That was at the conference. Your attempt to minimize the depravity of the video’s producers and those who enjoyed watching it at a pro-Trump conference speaks to your own sense of decency.

That means precisely nothing. Trump, himself, has still not addressed it. Really no excuse for the turd who spends the majority of his day tweet ranting about how unfairly he’s being treated.

OK, so you don't know who produced the video, and thus don't know the RNC was complicit. Good.

It wasn't an RNC event. This is just a lie.

Horse **** deflection. It was a pro-Trump conference that was even attended by FL’s Republican governor.

I did respond to your failed non comparable examples.

I don't see a tweet from @realdonaldtrump in their or did you misunderstand what I wrote?
It's been 12 hours since that tweet. What has the president said?

No, you didn't. You handwaved them off.

One of them, for example, was a mock assassination of Trump at a Democratic fundraiser.

That's perfectly comparable to this. Only profound partisan hackishness would conclude it's not.

You give Trump far, far more credit than he deserves. He’s nothing more than a completely amoral, bigoted moron who appeals to others like him.

I wouldn't put it past the NYT reporter to have been the actual culprit who turned that video on ... and then faked outrage. :lol:

Trump is scum. The Deplorables who support him are also scum. People who enable his hate and excuse his hate are just as guilty.

Trump gave official permission for the far right wing hate crown to emerge from underneath their rocks and come out in the bright light of day. This is but the latest example.
Click to expand...

Can you show us the official permission for this video to be made? After all, you claim this is the latest example of exactly that. BTW, are you sure this is the latest example? According to reports this video was made about a year ago.
 
Lisa said:
Those were not produced by the DNC. The DNC also did not support them. Have you seen they shown at campaign rallies of Bernie, Liz or others?

Interesting. So you’re saying the RNC produced this video, or somehow supports it?

Nowhere in the article did I see that it was an event put on by the Republican National Committee*, and if it did and I missed it, please quote it. It says that this was some kind of event put on by Trump supporters. Trump voters and supporters do not equal the RNC anymore than Democratic voters and supporters equal the DNC.

And if you are going to impute responsibility of horrible and disgusting statements and acts by Republican voters (who are not members of the RNC) to the RNC simply because they all happen to be Republican voters, fine. But if that truly is your principle (that a political party's national leadership is responsible for whatever any individual member of that party does), you cannot then bleat protestations when people impute bad acts by people who happen to be or vote Democratic to the DNC.

*EDIT: The group who did this is apparently called American Priority. It is not the Republican National Committee.

I don't think that's likely.

But there's definitely no Republican endorsement of this video, as RaleBulgarian is trying to make it look like.

Yes. That was your handwaving, and your lie, because the video, as I showed you, was not shown "as part of the conference" or "to all who attended." And it was condemned by the conference organizers.

I showed you that. You handwaved that off, too.

Never mind that you snipped out the part of my post you didn't want to respond to:

Profound hackishness, indeed.
