Ex-Fox News editor Chris Stirewalt says the 2020 RNC fireworks display spelling 'Trump' near the Was

Washington Monument was a 'brazen taking of our shared national heritage'

The former Fox News political editor Chris Stirewalt in his newly-released book criticized the use of the White House grounds as the main stage for the 2020 Republican National Convention — deriding much of the pomp displayed for former President Donald Trump's official renomination as a "spectacle."

In the book, "Broken News: Why the Media Rage Machine Divides America and How to Fight Back," Stirewalt — who says he was fired from Fox in January 2021 — writes that Republican National Committee officials were aware of the poor optics of using the White House for campaign purposes but did so anyway.

"[S]ome of those officials who attended Trump's nomination speech delivered from the White House knew that it was not just unwholesome but un-American to use the people's house that way. I know that, because some of them told me so," he wrote.

He continued: "The spectacle of Trump using the presidential mansion for a campaign event was bad enough, but he was introduced by his own daughter, whom he had given a high government post. Yuck. As the president was serenaded with an aria from Turandot, sung from the Truman Balcony, Trump's name was emblazoned across the Washington Monument in fireworks. This was not just bad taste, but idolatry — a brazen taking of our shared national heritage for political advantage."

Fox News Political Editor. Takes a special bred of idiot to achieve that distinction. Dickhead!

8. Fuck this guy.

The Republicans who knew better didn't say anything about this (Trump) behavior for the same reason that Democrats didn't speak to the many excesses of the secular religion of antiracism or the suppression of free speech in general...

Ignoring that insane both-siderism, Stirewalt toiled in Satan's workshop for 10 years before he was shown the door.

Heckuva job, Chris, ushering this country into its precarious perch above a steaming pot of fascist stew.
