White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is doing a lot of heavy lifting during Thursday’s press conference trying to explain President Biden’s recent rhetoric about MAGA Republicans being “semi-fascist.” Who are these semi-fascists? Well, they’re Republicans who are inciting violence and trying to take away people’s freedoms (she says as Biden pushes for an assault weapons ban). As Jean-Pierre explained today, the White House understands it “hit a nerve” and now the ultra-MAGA Republicans are trying to hide and are telling on themselves.
As Twitchy reported, RealClearNews’ Philip Wegmann asked if placing restrictions on abortion was “semi-fascist.” Jean-Pierre said it was an extremist position. So what else is an extremist position? Get this:

What?
I expect spin from the Press Secretary. But, what's happening now is outright gaslighting and despicable lies.
These past few weeks have reset discourse so low that I'm not sure we'll ever recover https://t.co/35ZVn7uYHK

A majority of Americans do favor some restrictions on abortion. So isn’t it the Democrats who support no-questions-asked abortions right through the third trimester the extremists?
She's saying "No disagreeing allowed." This is fine. I'm sure this will all work out just great.

Absolutely agree. This isn’t just entertainment, like statements made for social media often are. These guys are seriously and rapidly moving towards establishing single party control, quashing anyone in their way.

Disagreeing with the "majority" is anything but extreme. Trying to silence & demonize the "minority" because they don't agree with you? That's extreme.

The majority of Americans reject this government to the point they don’t even participate in the political system.

Can she spew anymore hate?

This is called predicative programming. When the mouthpiece of the administration says something like this, "they" seek to plant a seed to curb all dissent and use the people to do their dirty work by alienating ANY and EVERY node of free thought. Take heed.

That was absolutely appalling. I couldn’t believe my ears.

Just wait one second Ms. @PressSec. I thought you guys were all about diversity. Is all of us thinking exactly the same way an example of diversity to you? I think not.@pdoocy

He has a 38% approval rating so that's good by me.

This is absurd. Now, if we are not with them and their way of thinking we are extremists. This is a sick, dangerous road they are traveling on.

MORE – None of the pool journalists disagreed verbally when the press secretary made this statement.
— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) September 1, 2022
Of course not. They’re being given the message they’re now expected to spread. If you don’t agree with the Biden administration, that’s an extreme position, and extremists are dangerous.
