Acosta describes crowd reaction: He looked at me and ran his thumb across his throat.

Quote
The disturbing part of Trump’s jokes about Gianforte was the effect on the crowd. I saw one young man in the crowd making body slam gestures. He looked at me and ran his thumb across his throat. I talked to him after the rally was over. He couldn’t stop laughing.


Jim Acosta


**** you, Jim.

8. I said in another thread that he viewed this as a test case - haven't the slightest

doubt he fantasizes about having this done to his critics here.

Like always, DUmpmonkiez are sure he is an idiot and an evil genius at the same time...

14. Next comes a journalist who IS an American citizen, murdered overseas . . .

Then a journalist and US citizen murdered here at home.

They'll just keep pushing it as far as they possibly can.

And why not? It's worked out fine for them so far, and it keeps the grift going, and the rubes will ****ing eat it up.

31. Trump wishes he could do it to anyone - poison critics and informants like Putin does

Kill journalists that write mean things about him. Of course he wishes he could do it. Exterminate whole swaths of the population that are against him or don't have any value like Duterte or al-Assad.

He's an awful, ugly excuse for a human. And if the media and press don't start reporting the truth and help take this asshole down, that is exactly what their profession will become. Only writing/reporting flattering things about him or risk, at the very least, jail.

13. So Media...Why continue to enable him?

I swear to God, the media are like chickens covering Colonel Sanders rallies. I guess chickens have to be able to "see it from the side" of the ****ing people that want to slaughter and eat them.

How many of you need to get chopped to bloody bits before you STOP with the "both-siderism" bullshit?

Look, just because a minority of crazy people decided to elect this orange shitgibbon, that DOES NOT mean you have to pretend that he's a real ****ing president!

He's a ****ing fraud and a con man. He's been a fraud and a con man his entire life. Maybe you should just report that, and stop trying to find some kernel...some ****ing spec...some neutron size sliver of anything he says that would be of any worth.

50. History Tends To Repeat

Drumpf’s rallies look just about like Hitler’s rallies in the 30s.

We must take back the House at a minimum. About half or so of that evil idiot’s supporters are basically Nazis , the other half have taken leave of their senses.

Just think, those people cannot watch any of the late night shows, are hat all, as they should, rip that jerk to shreds. He shouldn’t be President he should be in jail or an Insane Asylum. And yet millions saw him as Presidential material.

Stupid question about "ran his thumb across his throat". As I "learned" this gesture, the index finger, not the thumb, is drawn across one's neck. Using the thumb seems awkward to me. Is what Acosta claimed some sort of regional variant? Or evidence that part of his :bouncy: is pure partisan fiction? I suspect it's fiction.

You are convinced of this even though you didn't see it or have any evidence that it actually happened.  Typical DUmmy logic post Kavanaugh...
Biden is an illegitimate President.  Change my mind.

Some people do that, mimicking holding a knife and using the thumb to simulate a blade.  Skepticism is always in order with outrage stories from either side, but it's easily overdone and ends up backfiring on the skeptic's own credibility.  The really hilarious part is where the dude laughed off Acosta and his pompous attempt to bait the guy into something quotably embarrassing for the GOP.  Winning!

Dear Diary,

Tonight at the mean Trump's rally I saw a normal person run his thumb across his neck. He was clearly wanting to cut my throat. I called my girlfriend Jenn Rubin after and we ate a quart of Ben & Jerrys ice cream and gossiped about that mean old Trump. He is so BAD!!.  I hate, HATE HIM!!!!!!!

Well at least it is almost Saturday night and we can have our sleep over with Jake Tapper, Jenn (I love her soooo, soooooooooooo much), and George Will. We are going to plan how to get that mean Trump.

Until tomorrow.

Love Jimmy

Uhm..OK, but what is a "body slam gesture"?
Help keep America beautiful...deface a liberal.
