Operation Walk Back
Did you notice the mainstream news media’s absolute glee over the anti-Trump undercurrent at John McCain’s week-long funeral extravaganza?
Oh, how they delighted in the not-so-subtle digs at our sitting President.
Ana Navarro was so excited she was quivering like a spastic colon.
And for a woman like Ana, that kind of quivering actually garners a reading on a Richter scale.
Damn! We’re only two eulogies into the #McCainfuneral, and I keep wondering how Jarvanka haven’t yet slinked out of their seats and crawled on their hands and knees out of that church.

It's remarkable how bad they are at pretending these McCain memorials are an authentic outpouring of bipartisan sorrow from DC rather than just the millionth astroturfed anti-Trump media circus this year. pic.twitter.com/mRRJnIKnWx

Bush, Obama eulogize McCain with criticism of current politics, subtle swipe at Trump https://t.co/ljYGNLZBmW

They loved it!
In fact, they were eagerly hoping for it.
Which was kinda the point of focusing all their attention on the passing of John McCain to begin with. It was all about attacking Donald Trump.
And all those not-so-subtle digs were celebrated with breathless enthusiasm.
Well, it didn’t take long for the media to realize that high-fiving each other over the anti-Trump rally disguised as a funeral was not well received by a large portion of the country.
And yesterday – less than 24 hours after cheering on the Trump hate-fest, the news media deployed Operation Walk Back.
I re-read all the speeches from McCain’s funeral. Nobody attacked Trump. They *praised* honor, decency, character, bipartisanship, and placing country over party. What does it say about Trump that so many people interpreted this as an assault on him personally?

Ah, yes.
If you thought the eulogies were taking petty digs at Donald Trump, it’s your fault, not theirs.
Sure they were applauding the petty digs on Saturday. But now they want you to believe that the petty digs were all in your head.
And what does it say about you that you thought – even for a moment – that they were attacking the sitting President?
They're trying to walk it back because it's dawning on them that they pulled another Wellstone. Remember, the politicized funeral that helped cost the Dems a midterm win against a first-term president they hated? https://t.co/sd3KCjwjmZ

Operation Walk Back is the result of what I have called Operation Backfire.
Everything these anti-Trump douche-nozzles do goes too far.
They get so wrapped up in their own presumed cleverness they end up pushing too hard.
And, inevitably, it backfires on them in a big, BIG way.
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know they would have to walk back their celebrations.
If you think taking a 2×4 to the face is subtle, then sure, they were subtle swipes.
Just like the Wellstone Memorial, this is so gonna backfire on them. https://t.co/Dec0CGxL2z

Everything backfires on them.
When you live in a bubble, completely unaware of the world at large, you inevitably misread the mood of the rest of the country.
Spending a solid week deifying John McCain in order to attack President Trump was bound to backfire.
And turning his “memorial service” into “the biggest resistance meeting yet” only hastened the inevitable backlash.
So naturally they have to walk back their own sneering delight.
I sure called it.
Watch them backpedal today and deny the funeral had anything at all to do with Trump despite the fact they were delightedly shrieking about how it was all about dissing Trump yesterday.
They Wellstoned, and now they know it.
It's funny. https://t.co/ajA31LgLMd

Saturday’s display was petty, vindictive, passive/aggressive and meanspirited.
But it also served as a glaring reminder of why we rejected this so-called “political elite” in the first place.
And this close to the 2018 Midterms, such a reminder will only further embolden us to reject these condescending, insufferable prats once again.
But, as usual, the media didn’t realize their mistake until well after the horse escaped the barn.
Sadly for them this idiotic attempt to walk it all back isn’t going to work.
How quickly CNN went from RIGHT ON! STICK IT TO THE TRUMPTARDS to…
….gaslighting us.
Think they are just now realizing how awful they looked applauding partisan shots at a funeral? pic.twitter.com/QkcRkGKITA

Los Leftistos and Resisteros used the corpse of a RINO as their Lee Harvey Oswald.
The whole thing was a bigger reminder of how much people dislike McCain as well. A five day funeral planned by McCain himself before he died?! It’s absurd and over the top.
He disinvited Trump and Palin and both showed themselves to be of high caliber in handling the snub. However the consequence for McCain is going to be far worse. Trump is not obligated to protect McCain’s legacy and is free to expose his role in the dossier scam.
Diogenes could search this bunch for several lifetimes, and never find a smidgeon of integrity, or decency. The American aristocracy is ready for the long knives, since nothing else seems to work on us damned deplorables! Expect them to go nuclear any time now. I shudder to think what that entails, but you know damn well, they are not going to just go away!
The President of Local 12 of the Quivering, Spastic Colons of America, AFL-CIO would like to register his displeasure of your comparison of them to Ana Navarro–unlike Ana, they serve a legitimate function.
surprised that they haven’t brought out the long knives yet, if we deplorables sweep the elections (and I have my doubts) they will do it then as lame duck, surprised these chunks of whale sperm haven’t arkancided POTUS/VP yet
Is the ultimate ring knocker really dead? are you sure? anyone stick his face with a hatpin?
what a spectical that funeral was. Really, he is dead right?
bury the corpse in the Naval Academy is a great idea. he is really dead? are we sure? autopsy results on line any time soon? I really want to be sure he is dead. can’t be too careful. especially nowdays when medical miracles are almost an everyday occurrence.
On the network I watched Kurt was half right, there were 2 stars: my President and the Progressive GOP President who hates him! the camera went to the leftist GOP President many, many times! He clearly was THE STAR!
quite the thing when the man you hate the most gets all the attention at your own funeral.
They lowered him 6 feet into the ground but he just kept going.
