Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung pushed back on those condemning the former president’s choice of “vermin” to attack his opponents, telling the Washington Post that critics “who try to make that ridiculous assertion are clearly snowflakes grasping for anything because they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.” (Cheung later clarified to the Post that he meant to say their “sad, miserable existence” instead of their “entire existence.”)
This is a display of power, and dominance. It’s a taunt.
To “clarify” by both denying the claim and doubling down on the claim at the same time. To state that people taking the words as a threat are snowflakes, while immediately threatening them again. And to do it twice over, reclarifying his original threat with another one.
He knows that makes no sense. But words don’t have to make sense under fascists. Only power makes sense. He knows he can get away with it. That’s the point.
The journalist should have drilled him on the spot.
-something else that rhymes. Fuck these pieces of fascist shit.
