ABC News Anchor Defends the Deep State
George Stephanopoulos on The Deep State
George Stephanopoulos, an ABC News anchor, made a bold statement on Tuesday, declaring that the Deep State is filled with patriots who don't care about political affiliations. This statement is somewhat surprising, given that the media and Democrats have previously dismissed the existence of the Deep State as a conspiracy theory. Stephanopoulos made these comments while discussing his book on The View, in which he interviewed numerous bureaucrats from intelligence agencies and the military.
Stephanopoulos' Defense of the Deep State
Stephanopoulos stated, “Some people like to call those people the Deep State. Well, the big thing I learned doing this book is that the Deep State is packed with patriots.” He went on to explain that these individuals work tirelessly every day, serving their country and the presidency, not the president. They don't care about political parties, they are there to serve the institution of the presidency.
Media's Shift in Stance on the Deep State
The media has recently become more vocal in its defense of the Deep State, also known as the Administrative State, especially since former President Donald Trump announced his intention to purge "rogue bureaucrats" from the Deep State if he were to be re-elected in November. In response, Biden introduced a new rule last month making it more difficult to fire unelected government employees.
The New York Times' Take on the Deep State
In March, the New York Times published an article praising the Deep State, portraying it as a group of hardworking, innocent government workers performing crucial tasks for humanity. However, those who follow politics closely understand that Trump's references to the Deep State are aimed at rogue intelligence agency officials and Democrat bureaucrats who carry out the Biden administration's wishes.
Chasing Trump Documentary and the Deep State
The documentary "Chasing Trump" sheds light on this issue by revealing the politically motivated anti-Trump Democrats who brought charges against Trump during an election year and even campaigned on doing so. Furthermore, a CIA cyber operations project manager recently confessed in an undercover video that intelligence agencies deliberately withheld information from President Donald Trump while he was in office and regularly spied on him and his family.
The Weaponization of Government
The targeting of Republicans, Trump supporters, and conservatives by the federal government, coupled with the lack of accountability for lawbreaking Democrats, has become so blatant and widespread that House Republicans formed the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government. This committee released a report this month revealing that the federal government regularly instructed Big Tech companies to censor conservatives on a range of topics, from COVID vaccines to the Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell.
Deep State's Plan for Trump's Second Term
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss recently wrote an op-ed warning that the Deep State plans to sabotage Trump's second term if he is re-elected. Truss stated that power has shifted away from democratically accountable officeholders to unelected bureaucrats and technocrats across the West, particularly in the English-speaking world.
