This is the moment that Donald Trump threatens an ABC reporter after they asked about free speech. Speaking with ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Tuesday (16 September), the president appeared to become annoyed after the reporter asked him about Pam Bondi’s crackdown on “hate speech”. “A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech,” Mr Karl said, to which Mr Trump responded: “She’d probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart.” After slamming ABC, the president claimed that he “wants everything to be fair” and placed blame with the “radical left who have done tremendous damage to the country”.

    Weird, I thought appeasing fascists made them stop attacking you.

    Nice job, ABC. Guess that merger was worth losing all your credibility, huh?

      ABC has been owned by Disney for decades. Are you confusing them with CBS who just went through a merger?

        You’re absolutely right, thanks!

        ABC agrees to give $15 million to Donald Trump’s presidential library to settle defamation lawsuit

        Of course my point about appeasing fascists still stands, but it’s important to have the facts straight. Much appreciated.

      For the people who got paid, yes of course it was worth it.

        We’ll see. They still have to live in this world, and they were already rich.

        I’ll guess it won’t have been worth it in the end, even for them.

      Wrong ABC. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has not undergone any mergers.

        “So I named it after the Lionel Richie song because of how I bought it. The Credibility Queen.”

        “Do you mean Caribbean Queen?”

        “…fuck!”

            Caribbean Queen is a song by Billy Ocean, whose art was popular around the same time as Lionel Richie’s.
