Trump Just Called for Everyone at the New York Times to Resign, ‘Can Never Recover!’
Donald Trump tweeted Monday evening that he’s calling for everyone “involved in the Kavanaugh SMEAR story” at the New York Times to resign.
The paper ran a piece, excerpting an upcoming book on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, detailing a new allegation of sexual misconduct against him. A notable detail, however, was left out, and an editor’s note has been added:
An earlier version of this article, which was adapted from a forthcoming book, did not include one element of the book’s account regarding an assertion by a Yale classmate that friends of Brett Kavanaugh pushed his penis into the hand of a female student at a drunken dorm party. The book reports that the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say that she does not recall the incident. That information has been added to the article.
I call for the Resignation of everybody at The New York Times involved in the Kavanaugh SMEAR story, and while you’re at it, the Russian Witch Hunt Hoax, which is just as phony! They’ve taken the Old Grey Lady and broken her down, destroyed her virtue and ruined her reputation…

He’s describing exactly what he’s done to the presidency and the US as a whole. What an endless fucking disgrace. https://t.co/OwstNb9KXT

It sure is something to see the President of the United States use the same language to tear down prominent newspapers and journalists that he used to tear down his rape victims. https://t.co/LzhS1KdSdQ

Joseph Goebbels would be proud. He was Reich Minister of Propaganda for Nazi Germany. He would have them lined up outside in the street and shot. https://t.co/6qQKp6TY0N
