On Monday night, Twitchy featured a thread about the deep state and how it’s not just a conspiracy anymore — the deep state is real, and it’s made up of not-silent heroes trying to save the nation.
And as Twitchy has reported, former CIA director John McLaughlin said during a roundtable in October, “Thank God for the deep state.” And an opinion piece published in the New York Times last month alerted us that “the deep state is alive and well, composed of patriotic public servants.”
No, the deep state isn’t some right-wing conspiracy anymore, and The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway has also observed that the media has now fully embraced and is promoting the deep state as heroes as well.
Fascinating to watch much of media’s quick turn from mocking notion of deep state into a full throated “Hell yes there’s a deep state and it’s the only thing we have to protect us from the American people and who they elect.” Points for honesty?

No, they are only changing their tune because they are trying to spin it that they are “saving the world” and that what is about to be exposed is justified and “for our good”! Sickening actually!

What honesty? They've been CAUGHT in an attempt to subvert our CONSTITUTION and destroy our DEMOCRACY. Its like a convicted killer on his day of execution about to face his maker. This has NOTHING to do with their admission of TRUTH.

No honesty points. They’re only admitting it because it serves their interest at the moment.
The second it’s more convenient to go back to pretending the “Deep State” doesn’t exist, they’ll revert back to that.

To the point where they will simultaneously hold contradictory positions (“Deep State” is a myth / hooray for the “Deep State”) and hope cognitive dissonance kicks in for the general public.
— Can of Spam (@iDoLikeSpam) November 12, 2019
No.
They are just admitting this now because 99.9% of all humans have become fully aware of #TheDeepState 's evil actions.
They are now hoping to defuse what's coming to them by pretending to be the good guys at the wall.#ThankYouPOTUS @realDonaldTrump for exposing corruption

NO points for honesty!! PUSH back necessary!! The media needs to be told NO, the deep state is NOT in power, NOT elected!!
— Resa Sitler (@r_sitler) November 12, 2019
No points. They didn't admit it until it became undeniable. They are liars. Lying is a strategy for them. Their central strategy. All other elements of their strategy depend on lying for implementation.

I’m glad it is being acknowledged but can’t give them points for honesty when the only reason is because it fits the current Dem pushed narrative
— RW (@rwlawoffice) November 12, 2019
No points. They do Not have our best interests in mind. We've been lied to for decades. Trump has uncovered that, that's why they hate him.
— Tony J (@stonyjbc) November 12, 2019
No points for honesty, sorry. #MSM only believed it when an intelligence official stated it & are now twisting into something noble. They are no longer honest. Their obsession w hating Trump has clouded their ability to see the truth & facts.

Maybe if they were to "come out" as part of the deep state, it would have a more cathartic effect on them. No points yet.
— Independent Cabbie (@Cabbiejoe1) November 12, 2019
No, demerits for dishonesty.
— Peter S. Lee (@pleemirage) November 12, 2019
Zero points.
— Kristie Stevens (@KristieSteven20) November 12, 2019
Well, they were forced to because the deep state is overplaying it’s hand and is drunk with so much power that it doesn’t feel like it has to be in the shadows anymore.

Mollie, the deep state is a secret cabal that hides behind hidden names like "anonymous" and feeds complicit media its viral propaganda through unnamed sources. It is fascinating to watch much of the media's love of fascism.

I appreciate any honesty, but the arrogance is maddening. Perhaps more conservatives will wake up and realize we really are losing our country. Seems that too many Republican leaders are passive and weak.
— bryan brewster (@bryan_bbrewster) November 12, 2019
Amen!
— Theresa Mamula (@TheresaMamula) November 12, 2019
I guess it's better than the "We have to completely destroy our democracy (republic) in order to save it from Trump" thing that they've got going on.
— Gorilla Channel Watcher (@dh5650) November 12, 2019
Remember back in the 60’s and 70’s when Democrats “Questioned Authority?” Now they have jumped full in with the Deep State like it’s a giant chocolate fountain to roll around in.
— Mike H (@clhscoach) November 12, 2019
They cant deny it anymore, so now they will attempt to spin it
— ?☢JerryNadlerHotDogGoblin☢? (@JNadlersZipper) November 12, 2019
They're making their own nooses.
Their sedition and treason are out in the open now.— Michael Wurl (@MichaelWurl) November 12, 2019
Trump and his supporters have FINALLY been able to expose things for what they are, rather than the truth being hidden beneath the surface for decades.
— Bill (@82airbornebilly) November 12, 2019
They are trying to get ahead of the revelations that are about to come out in the IG report, Durham, etc…they need to flip the narrative before it blows up in their faces.
— Steven O'Reilly (@S_OReilly_USA) November 12, 2019
You hit the nail on the head. These are the people who need to go. This is why an outsider is now the President. Not sure why mainstream media seems to cry about career public servants. Deep state are now trying to keep their positions as if they are entitled.
— James Eggleton (@jaeggleton) November 12, 2019
Deep state and media are like a dog chasing its tail and then stopping and then chasing its tail in the other direction.
— Mike ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@michaelcowart44) November 12, 2019
They are running scared. They do not know what to do next because they can’t figure out what the President will say or do. It is fun to watch!
— jlm (@jlm48087900) November 12, 2019
Trump keeps the Deep State off balance because he's unlike any past president. They had this plan for impeachment ready to go and then Trump ruined it by releasing the transcript which they never thought he would do.
— RonR (@ronrawson) November 12, 2019
The next thing we will hear (from someone) is this: "Yes, it was a coup. But it was a necessary coup." Wait for it…
