First of all, if you haven’t seen it, this is the video posted Saturday afternoon by President Trump that has HuffPost White House correspondent S.V. Dáte so upset:
They are trying to stop ME, because I am fighting for YOU! pic.twitter.com/xiw4jtjkNl
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 28, 2019
The president appears to have shot a campaign video — attacking Democrats, claiming they want to “take away your guns,” etc. — in the Rose Garden, which is to say, a public building. pic.twitter.com/2U4UuaIolU

We like the scare quotes around “take away your guns” — when one Democratic candidate is literally selling T-shirts saying, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.”
The WH confirms that is an “official” video.
In it, Trump claims Democrats want to:
Take away your health care;
Take away your guns;
Take away your vote;
Take away your judges;
Take away your freedom;
Take away everything. https://t.co/mPA03fBcJE— S.V. Dáte (@svdate) September 28, 2019

An excellent summary.
Well done.

The president is right on.

Accurate.

It’s certainly accurate, whether a campaign ad or not.

He's not wrong.
— Steve Dallas (@hodgepodge80s) September 28, 2019
Very true. When have Democrats expanded some gun rights in exchange for taking gun rights? They’ve always wanted to take rights away.
— Tim Stoner (@timothystoner) September 28, 2019
Is this a game? Find the lie? These are all true.

If you read the #Democrat platform, he is correct.
— Ben Westen (@Ben_Westen) September 28, 2019
That’s a pretty accurate summary of the present Democratic platform.
— Lucius Cornelius (@sullafelix82bc) September 28, 2019
Where's the lie? It's exactly what the Dems have been campaigning on for months now.
— MTLass (@mt_lass) September 28, 2019
They’re all-in on “mandatory buybacks” and want to put the private health insurance industry out of business and want to abolish the Electoral College, and that’s just for starters.
Video is on point.
