As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism. Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

NELL HUGHES CAN'T BE THIS STUPID CAN SHE?

Scottie Nell Hughes, possibly the dumbest surrogate for Cheeto Jesus got fact-checked on the air on Saturday by anchor Poppy Harlow and activist Bakari Sellers.

Harlow pointed out that among nonwhite voters, Fuckface Von Clownstick is trailing even third party candidates in recent surveys, to which Hughes replied that the candidate has had rallies “all over the country” where the “doors are open” to everyone, regardless of race.

Sellers countered that Don the Con isn’t going to get a “participation trophy” just for showing up in one black neighborhood.

“I know that many surrogates and many supporters of Donald Trump like to take the man away from his baggage,” Sellers said, “but you can not sit here and not remember that Donald Trump is the one who supported the ‘Birther’ movement — and just yesterday in Philadelphia he refused to even apologize for it.”
Sellers pointed to Trump’s refusal to rent to black tenants in New York City and the full-page ad the former reality TV star took out in the New York Times calling for the death penalty for the Central Park Five.

He quoted the late author Maya Angelou, who said, “When someone shows you who they are, you need to believe it the first time.”

When it comes to the housing discrimination lawsuits, Hughes said, that was “probably 30, 35 years ago” and besides, “obviously Mr. Trump addressed it.”
“Unfortunately, as we have seen this campaign season, the press has tried to trap him in different aspects,” she said.
Klansman turned Louisiana politician David Duke’s endorsement of Trump, she went on, pales next to Clinton’s endorsement by the “California grand dragon KKK leader today, who is out there making promotional videos on his own accord but still putting out there. Hillary Clinton has yet to disavow him, so there’s ties on both sides.”
“Scottie, what are you saying there?” Harlow asked. 
“I’m saying that Hillary Clinton has actually stronger ties, that has not disavowed a KKK endorsement,” Hughes said. 
“Bakari?” asked Harlow. “Your response?”
“Scottie and any other surrogate and Donald Trump himself are going to have an extremely hard time with this argument,” said Sellers. “I think they’re actually going down the wrong path that somehow Hillary Clinton is the bigot in this situation, or has some racist past or racist history, because that’s simply not the case.”
Hughes made a hail-Mary pass, trying to pin the Birther movement on Hillary Clinton, saying it was a member of her staff who brought it up during the 2008 campaign.
“Scottie, that is not factual,” said Harlow. “That is not factually correct. Hillary Clinton never questioned the birthplace of Barack Obama when she was running against him.”

CHEETO JESUS IS ON THE "CUTING EDGE OF CIVIL RIGHTS"

Yet another Cheeto Jesus surrogate, one Kayleigh McEnany, told African American panelists Bakari Sellers and Angela Rye last night that the GOP nominee Donald Trump is on the “cutting edge of civil rights” after Trump alleged Democrats were bad for black Americans in a Michigan speech Friday.

Bakari Sellers started off saying that African-Americans are only one generation from racist policies that plagued the United States. “We are only one generation away from Jim Crow, segregation and oppression and degradation first deep south and the George Wallaces and the water hoses and the dogs and the little girls in Birmingham and Jimmy Lee Jackson and the list goes on and on and on,” Sellers said.

He continued that our culture is not that far away from the monumental year 1968.
“We had the massacre and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., died in that same year, and all of those things happened and he’s having a hard time understanding how far we’ve come and that way he cannot put together where do we go from here?”
He cited an article in CNN Money about the rate at which black family are growing.
“It takes us 228 years to catch up to white families. 228 years! So, to Kayleigh’s argument and Andre’s argument and whoever wants to lay the argument to the back-breaking policies, that ain’t it.
Attempting to justify claims that Trump will be better for African-Americans than Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, McEnany attempted to put words in their mouths. “You might think a 27.2% poverty rate among African American individuals … is a good thing but –”
“Kayleigh, when did you hear us say that?” a furious Angela Rye interrupted. “That’s not fair. Kayleigh, can you retract that? Kayleigh? That’s not fair.”
Rye went on to school McEnany saying:
“He can apologize for the howling discrimination for the Department of Justice and he can retract that and apologize for that and he can tell me he never meant to say he’d pay for the legal fees of the guy that punched the black man in the face at the rally,” Rye continued. “And he can apologize for the Indian man thrown out today.
He can apologize for the full-page ad. I am just getting started,” She said continuing. “I haven’t even got to last July. Donald Trump doesn’t just have a messaging problem and he has a message and belief problem and he has to hear it from more than rhinestones and polyester and his two — that go out on the trail today.”
Fuckface Von Clownstick has more than a messaging issue, he's got a surrogate issues as well - who seem to be if possible, more ignorant than the messenger.

If McEnany's master is truly on the cutting edge of civil rights, then those whom don't dawn a pasty white skin color, better run for the hills!

Its always priceless when conservatives try blacksplanin to blacks.

Trumpenstein fun fact: Trump claims he will win 95 % of the African American vote, yet to date, he has only 1% per the polling numbers. Better get busy asshat!

CLOWNSTICK MOUTHPIECE GETS SLAMMED YET AGAIN

Guess who doesn’t have a clue when it comes to speaking on moral authority - or is even more clueless when it comes to lecturing black people about their lack of leadership in their own community?

Fuckface Von Clownstick mouthpiece Katrina Pierson

In an appearance on CNN Monday, Clownstick’s mouthpiece said that the current tensions between police and the black community represented a lack of leadership, from President Obama down to the black communities themselves.
“These are actually symptoms of a much greater problem, which is a severe lack of leadership, not just in this country but in the black community,” Pierson said. “This has stemmed from irresponsibility at the executive level. You have a first black president who injects himself in local issues, particularly when it comes to police, and now we have this problem.”
CNN contributor Bakari Sellers didn’t waste any time dropping the hammer on Pierson.

“I don’t really have any idea what Ms. Pierson’s talking about,” Sellers said. “To say that we don’t have any leadership in the African-American community or to say that we’re just some community walking around aimlessly trying to find or look for some Messiah, it’s just not the case.”

Later in the segment, Sellers said he couldn’t “let Katrina’s statements, which were borderline asinine, go unchecked.”

Pierson is an embarrassment to the human race every time she gets on CNN. Popcorn anyone?

Katrina Pierson, you are today’s worst person in the world. Congratulations!
