On MSNBC’s 11th Hour with Brian Williams last night, Brian Williams and Malcolm Nance (who has called for the Islamic State — ISIS — to bomb Trump properties) sound like two paranoid old Cold Warriors out of Leftist satires of the day, blaming Russia for everything. And I do mean everything.
In their view, the Russians not only installed Donald Trump in the White House, but they did so by making Americans start — horror of horrors! — disbelieving in Leftist dogmas such as “diversity is our strength” (apparently the Russians are behind all those Muslim migrant crimes in Europe) and turning us against each other. The dastardly Russians succeeded in making Americans believe the words of a host of black-hatted villains, including “Robert Spencer the Islamophobe.”
Yeah, sure, Malcolm. 34,000 violent jihad attacks worldwide since 9/11 didn’t have anything to do with making Americans believe that there is a jihad threat. It was all the work of the Russians and me, rubbing our hands in glee and cackling as we told Americans that jihadis were actually blowing things up and stabbing people — I mean, who in his right mind could believe that?
And there’s more, too, sir: the Russians and I have made you believe you’re a respected terror analyst, but gradually it will begin to dawn on you that this, too, is Russian disinformation, and that you’re actually a paranoid, mendacious moron. Da!
