Urges Republicans to ‘defund and totally disassociate themselves’ from radical Left
By Joe Kovacs
President Donald Trump is ferociously attacking National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting System, using all capital letters online to call them “radical left monsters.”
“REPUBLICANS MUST DEFUND AND TOTALLY DISASSOCIATE THEMSELVES FROM NPR & PBS, THE RADICAL LEFT ‘MONSTERS’ THAT SO BADLY HURT OUR COUNTRY!” Trump figuratively shouted Tuesday on Truth Social.
During a March 25 Cabinet meeting, the president was asked outright if he’d like to see public broadcasting as a whole defunded.
“I would love to do that. I think it’s very unfair, it’s been very biased, the whole group of them,” Trump said.
“There’s plenty of coverage. That was from a different age and they spend more money than any other network of its type ever conceived. So the kind of money that’s being wasted, and it’s a very biased view. … And I’d be honored to see it end.”
