We Must Defend Trump Against The Left-Wing Media’s Smears

Rep. Andy Biggs Arizona Congressman
Font Size:

The House Judiciary Committee recently debated the Secret Service Reauthorization Act, a bill with broad support from both sides of the aisle. As debate concluded, Democrats introduced an amendment that’s sole purpose appeared to be to attack President Donald Trump. Debate quickly slowed to a crawl as Democrats on the committee rambled on relentlessly repeating unfounded and exaggerated claims about our President.

This is the new normal in Washington, D.C.

Attacks on President Trump have become commonplace in the federal legislative process and exist to hide the Left’s flaws and the President’s early triumphs. From floor action, to committees, to subcommittees, the Left uses every opportunity at their disposal to yell, scream, and shout about one of the most active Presidents in our country’s history. While many Republicans attempt to debate policy issues, the Left, aided by their allies in the radical media, play up contrived scandals, fueled by unsourced “rumors” of alleged evidence.

The Left, radical media, and even some Republicans continue their historic failure to realize why many Americans supported President Trump in the first place.

The American people elected Donald J. Trump because he promised to put American interests first, rebuild our depleted military, stand for Israel, protect life, secure the border, enforce laws, restore respect for law enforcement, create jobs, reform our outdated tax system, and refuel America’s commitment to freedom and economic opportunity.

Many politicians make promises for the camera, but backpedal as they step foot in office. This is why Congress’ approval rating is abysmal and why Americans took a chance on a Washington outsider like President Trump. If he remains true to his promises, and Congress works to do the same, we will truly make our country great again.

Instead of rallying around these principles and working for the common good of American greatness, the Left and radical media would rather tear down this Presidency and wreak havoc on our system of government. They are terrified of the potential positive outcomes if President Trump fulfills his promises. They would be perfectly content with a continued erosion of public trust, unfulfilled promises, and deference to the international community.

In spite of this incredibly self-serving and unpatriotic attitude from the Left and radical media, President Trump is succeeding. He has reversed many of the harmful, job-killing regulations of the Obama administration, decreased the flow of illegal immigration through stricter enforcement of our laws, protected innocent life, and reassured the world of the great bond between the United States and Israel. Just recently, President Trump withdrew the United States from the incredibly unfair Paris Climate Agreement, that Congress never approved in the first place – a significant fulfillment of one of his promises. Economic optimism has returned to the United States as businesses applaud the President’s free-market policies.

All Republicans should realize that the battle lines being drawn between the President and the Left and radical media are an attempt to sabotage this administration and prevent President Trump from upholding his word. If we do not vigorously defend the President against baseless attacks and continue to applaud the commitment to keeping his promises, then we risk losing our constituents’ trust and faith in our ability to lead the country. We have a historic chance to keep our promises and renew the American dream, spirit, and Constitution; and I will not lose that opportunity.

Congressman Andy Biggs serves the people of Arizona’s 5th district in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
