Frank Luntz Blames Trump for Social Media Bans

from The Garrett Ashley Mullet Show · host Garrett Ashley Mullet

Paul Shiver wrote a piece for The Blaze yesterday reporting on Republican pollster and political strategist Frank Luntz and his remarks to a podcast at The New York Times. You can read the article here and you can listen to that NYT podcast interview with Luntz here. But the long and short of it is that Luntz thinks Trump has only himself to blame for social media giants having permanently banned him from their platforms - even while he was still in office. The whole business reminds me of William Wallace being sold down the river by the Scottish nobility in his fight for Scottish independence against England's King Edward I.  Or, for a biblical example, I think of King David ordering that Uriah the Hittite be put on the frontlines where the fighting was fiercest, then having the rest of his compatriots pull back to let him get cut down. Frank Luntz makes clear that the Republican establishment wants Caesar politically dead once and for all. But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honorable man.
