Fox News: If you don't pay tribute to Trump, you are egotistic, narcissistic, have a "god-complex".

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/06/pay-tribute-president-fox-panel-claims-eagles-narcissistic-egotistical-god-complex/

“Pay tribute to the greatest country in the history of the world, pay tribute to this president,” Kirk said.

Owens, who also works for Turning Point, argued that the players could not have a productive conversation with Trump because they are too “narcissistic.”

“What we’re really seeing is a window into the narcissistic, egotistical minds that is the celebrity brain,” Owens said of the Eagles players. “They actually think that they deserve more honor and more respect and more dignity than our veterans and our troops.”

“And they’re unwilling to work with this administration simply because they have a god complex,”

Pay tribute
honor
veterans
Troops
Obama

That being said, she lost me in here somewhere

. “I think what President Trump did here is so great. It’s exactly what needed to happen; a separation between the church and the state, the celebrities and the White House, especially on the backs of Barack Obama, who is honoring these celebrities and making them feel that there were better than the American people.”

I've never encountered more blatant hypocrisy. They get away with it because they've convinced their minions that the internet is lying and the news is fake (except Fox). One news source, one reality.

they are consistent in cheering any argument that works for their side and in condemning any argument that works for the other side.

this is why they aren't bothered by our complaints about their hypocrisy. we're asking them to be consistent with the *facts* and with their *intellectual arguments* and they care not one wit about such things. they only care about consistency in their loyalty.

11. So be it! Trump hasn't earned my respect nor honor. He won't live long enough to earn that.

The GOP strategy: rally the base, voter suppression, rely on the media to do their false equivalency thing, and top it all off with Russian interference.
