Bossie: Media, Dems Working ‘Hand in Hand’ to Waylay Trump

Citizens United President and Chairman David Bossie said, during an interview Monday on “The Laura Ingraham Show,” that there is no longer any doubt the mainstream media walk “hand in hand with the Democratic Party” and are partners in the “permanent obstruction campaign” against President Donald Trump.

Bossie, Trump’s former deputy campaign manager, noted that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have worked overtime to stall the president’s “America first” legislative agenda. He said the press corps does all it can to help push narratives to derail the White House.

“[Trump] wakes up every day and he just looks at the world, and he sees that he is under assault,” Bossie said. “He’s under siege by the permanent obstruction campaign by the Democrats in the House and the Senate. He sees that they are in lockstep with the mainstream media and that he’s under siege by them every single day.”

“The mainstream media is hand in hand with the Democratic Party now, let’s just be honest,” Bossie added. “They are now arm-locked together, and they have run since Election Day a permanent obstruction campaign against this president.”

Noting that it doesn’t matter “whether it’s on the travel ban to protect Americans here at home, or whether it’s on his foreign trip abroad that he just recently returned from, whether it’s military spending and trying to build the military and strengthen our borders here at home,” Bossie said Trump will continue to face intense obstruction.

“It doesn’t matter what he’s trying to do, whether it’s just trying to create jobs, as simple as that, they attack him. They stop him,” Bossie said. “The U.S. Senate — because of the Left, of Chuck Schumer, who is incredibly devious and smart — he slows down everything. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a nomination for a dogcatcher, they slow it down.”

Bossie called it infuriating to watch the media pin blame for the “slowdown” in Congress on Republicans.

“The problem is is that the American people only hear from the mainstream media that the Republicans control everything. And so we need to do a better job of educating the American people,” Bossie said.

Bossie recommends the president hunker down and focus on the conservative-populist agenda upon which he so successfully campaigned.

“That’s all he can do, is focus on his agenda, focus on taking positions that he promised during the campaign in making America first, making the America people first, and actually acting as president of the United States, not as president of the world like Barack Obama liked to be,” Bossie said. “And I can tell you that we need to have a strong leader and he’s going to take the slings and arrows of the enemy. But … that’s what strong leaders do. They stand up and they fight back.”

Bossie noted that Trump has come under intense fire concerning his unapologetic stance on combating radical Islamic terrorism and instituting his stalled travel ban executive order following the weekend’s London terrorist attacks.

“It is inconceivable to me that we could have these three [U.K.] attacks in 75 days as we close in on the one-year anniversary … of the Orlando attack,” Bossie said, referring to the June 2016 gay-nightclub shooting. “And everybody wants to just say, ‘Oh, nothing happens here.’ Well you know what? … It is unacceptable. They just forget, they move on. I don’t forget.”

In response to several U.K. leaders who have called upon their citizens to live their lives as they normally would in the face of terror, Bossie insisted that this constant terror threat cannot be “the new normal for the United States, and it shouldn’t be accepted.”

“We should be offended every single day when somebody on the Left tries to just equivocate and say this is the new normal,” Bossie said. “I’m not used to it today any more than I was when my friend … was murdered on September 11th, 2001, along with 3,000 other Americans. I wasn’t, I didn’t accept it then. I don’t accept it now anymore.”
