Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) took to the airwaves on the morning of Thursday, November 28, Thanksgiving, to attack President-elect Donald Trump. He did so in a Thanksgiving appearance on CNN’s “This Morning,” during which he said that Americans should enjoy Thanksgiving, then “buckle up” for “disinformation, cruelty, and lies” from former President Donald Trump.
Particularly, that came when Rep. Walsh discussed how Trump says he has pressured President Sheinbaum of Mexico into stopping mass migration into America by threatening her country with massive tariffs if she doesn’t halt the illegal immigration. Rep. Walsh claimed that Trump is lying and she won’t actually give in.
Making that claim, ignoring in the process that Trump had gotten a “Remain in Mexico” deal done in his first term, Rep. Walsh said, “He’s lying. And I don’t want to go through four years of this. America still has to grasp with the fact that we just re-elected somebody who lies every time he opens his mouth. I mean, period.”
Continuing, Rep. Walsh kept up the claims about Trump lying about policy achievements, again ignoring that “Remain in Mexico” was achieved in his first term, and that President Sheinbaum had hinted a deal could be made. He said, “This is the game he plays. He threatens to do something unless he gets his way. He doesn’t get his way, but he lies and says he got his way.”
Keeping up the Trump hatred and almost getting vulgar with it, Tep. Walsh continued to push the claim, without providing any actual evidence, that Trump was lying about the Mexico deal. He said, “And now, looky here, Mexico is going to do something brand new. Bull crap this Thanksgiving. I caught my tongue. Jim, he’s lying, plain and simple.”
That’s when the host, very anti-Trump Jim Acosta, chimed in and went on the attack against Trump ally Elon Musk, characterizing him as a “cyber bully.” He said, “He says he’s going to be part of this DOGE, this Department of Government Efficiency going after government waste, but he seems to be just acting like a cyberbully and going after Trump’s perceived enemies.”
Responding, Walsh went along with it and bashed Elon, ignoring that Elon is obviously quite intelligent and discerning, as shown by his business success in incredibly difficult, real-world industries. Instead, Walsh just characterized him as a “purveyor of disinformation,” saying, “It’s different. He’s the wealthiest man on the planet. He has the biggest platform on the planet, and he’s the greatest purveyor of disinformation on the planet.”
He added, getting in one more smear-filled jab at Trump on Thanskgiving, telling people to ready themselves for years of “cruelty” and lying, seemingly ignoring the past four years of the Biden Administration disaster as he did so. Rep. Walsh said, making that claim about the next Trump administration, “Enjoy your Thanksgiving, America, but we all have to buckle up. This is going to be four years of disinformation, cruelty and lies.”
