Apparently, yesterday there was a press conference in Minneapolis to announce the federal Justice Department/Minneapolis consent agreement — with the city, that has resulted from then MPD officer Derek Chauvin’s murder of a cuffed, subdued George Floyd, filmed by dozens in broad daylight.
Scott Johnson showed up to ask questions. But his questions were more like manifesto talking points, or political talking points for the hard right, if we are being charitable.
He signed in with other journalists by name, and was recognized by name as affiliated with a hard right/racist blogging site (he had “covered” Chauvin’s murder trial in 2021-22, laden with his own starkly whyte separatist rhetoric — going so far as to source the appeal lawyer for Chauvin, from his roster of “friends” — pro bono — when the disgraced former cop ran out of funds).
As irony would have it, Scott now professes to be incensed that he wasn’t allowed to ask a question from the gallery. Yet for four long years in the rare moments when Tangerine 1.0 would take ANY questions at a press conference, I cannot remember once Scott Johnson’s rising to defend the scads of journalists Trump had blackballed. All considered MSM “lefties” by both Tangerine and Scott and John and Paul.
not even… once. Nope.
So do spare me the “tiny violins” act, Scott.
Out.
