Title: Author: Censoring Newspapers to Destroy Trump Was Protecting Democracy
Post by: Number7 on August 20, 2022, 06:19:59 AM
Rarely are communists so open about their hatred of democracy. The left likes to slither around in the mud, pretending to be American while adoring censorship, political oppression, violence, and vote fraud. This guy is a dumpster fire of stupidity.

Best-selling author Sam Harris has sparked outrage by claiming the “left-wing conspiracy” to bury The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop was “warranted” to keep former President Donald Trump out of power — and Harris wouldn’t even care if the cracked-out first son had “the corpses of children in his basement.”

In a now-viral interview on the “TRIGGERnometry” podcast, Harris, 55, happily dismissed those who said it was “completely unfair” to have shut down The Post’s Twitter account to silence its explosive reporting.

The influential philosopher noted how critics called it “a left-wing conspiracy to deny the presidency to Donald Trump.”

“Absolutely it was. Absolutely. But I think it was warranted,” the “Waking Up” author claimed.

Harris was interrupted by one of his two interviewers, Konstantin Kisin, who said he “really struggled” with his guest’s troubling admission.

“I’m interested in democracy,” Kisin told Harris. “You’re saying you are content with a left-wing conspiracy to prevent somebody being democratically re-elected as president.”

Harris — whose own Webby Award-winning podcast is called “Making Sense” — then stumbled over his words before insisting that “it doesn’t matter what part’s conspiracy, what part’s out in the open.” He then pivoted to an outlandish analogy that compared keeping Trump from winning a second term to working to “deflect” an “asteroid hurtling toward Earth.”

The footage quickly went viral online, with one clip racking up more than 5 million views as of Friday.

“Holy shlit … This man just set his entire career on fire,” wrote popular right-wing commentator Jack Posobiec as he shared the clip.

“I think it’s funny people are surprised Sam Harris thinks this way. There’s a whole segment of the country that thinks this way. They want Trump’s family and yours in jail. Wake up,” he wrote.
