Liberal NBC finally dedicated a serious amount of time to the “political terrorism” committed against the North Carolina Republican Party over the weekend, in the form of a firebombing of an HQ office. But instead of focusing on the heinous act, they decided to paint Republicans as the ones stoking the violence. “Tensions have been rising all year in a campaign that's seen undertones of violence,” reported NBC’s Peter Alexander, while playing clips of fights at Donald Trump rallies on Monday’s NBC Nightly News.
Alexanders report barely touched on the firebombing at all. He mentioned how no one was hurt and that “Nazi Republicans, leave town or else,” was spray painted on a building, then immediately dove into his own painting of Republicans out of control. “The president of the Arizona Republic newspaper says after it endorsed Hillary Clinton last month, the staff's been getting death threats, even the students who sell subscriptions,” he stated.
The NBC reporter then set his sights on Milwaukie Sheriff David Clark for a tweet, “…a Trump supporter, lit up social media over the weekend, tweeting that instead of complaining about government and big media, it's “Pitchforks and torches time.”” He then swiftly pivoted to a Wall Street Journal video of an apparent Trump supporter talking about “taking out” a President Hillary Clinton, among other examples.
No report slamming Republicans would be complete without raising up Democrats, and that is exactly how Alexander closed out his report. “On Sunday, an online appeal asked for donations to help Republicans re-open that fire-bombed office. The money was raised by a Massachusetts Democrat,” he concluded.
The liberal bias in Alexander’s report is palpable. Besides from the brief mention of the firebombing, his report was devoid of instances of violence coming from the left. There is no excuse for the absence of that information since his colleagues Jacob Rascon and Ali Vitali reported back in June how, “Protesters Assault Trump Supporters With Eggs, Bottles, Punches After Rally” in San Jose, California. And a month prior to those attacks NBC also reported that, “"Several" officers were injured after being hit by rocks,” thrown by leftists at a Trump rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
It is clear that NBC’s Peter Alexander has joined CNN’s Brian Stelter in placing the blame for the act of “political terrorism” at the feet of Donald Trump and Republicans.
