Famous former New York Times reporter explains ‘Why I’m voting for Donald J. Trump’

Former New York Times reporter and COVID vaccine skeptic Alex Berenson has made his choice on who he’s supporting to be America’s next president and it’s Donald J. Trump.

In a Saturday column, Berenson explained that while there are some things that he finds fault with the Republican nominee on, when it comes to the most important issues at stake in Tuesday’s election, Trump is far and away the better choice than the Democrat nominee Kamala Harris who stands for the worst excesses of authoritarianism by her party during the hellish period of the coronavirus pandemic, especially the censorship.

Admitting that “in some ways, this choice pains me,” Berenson parrots some of the left’s standard talking points about Trump before acknowledging that he would be a bulwark against the tyranny of Harris, her extremist party, and its warmongering neocon allies like Liz Cheney.

The independent journalist has firsthand experience of the stifling of dissenting voices while Dr. Anthony Fauci and other so-called public health “experts” and the nation’s top Democrat politicians relentlessly pushed the jabs, and it was that threat to free speech among other things that convinced him that Trump is best suited to protect the most sacred constitutional rights of Americans.

“It is the Democratic Party that stands against free speech; that forced mRNA vaccines on tens of millions of healthy adults; that opened America’s southern border until public outcry forced it closed; that supports decriminalization of drugs and ‘decarceration’ of violent criminals; that presides over one giveaway after another to its favored interest groups; and that is willing to risk the American economy over its fears of climate change – it has, with little notice, pushed through regulations that will make gasoline-powered vehicles all but unaffordable within a decade,” he wrote.

“What exactly does Kamala Harris stand for, if not more of the same?” Berenson asked. “That’s not a rhetorical question. I truly don’t know. But she is happy to take the endorsement of Dick Cheney, the chickenhawk warmonger who for 50 years has stood for everything wrong with American elites and American politics.”

Having criticized Trump over his “vicious” words, the reporter admits that “he has his reasons.”

“In the last year, prosecutors in his former home state launched not one but two trials against him, the first aimed at bankrupting him over loans he repaid in full, the second at imprisoning him for the crime of winning in 2016. In front of juries in Manhattan, a county that voted against Trump by nearly 9 to 1 in 2020, both succeeded,” he said, referring to the sham lawfare cases in New York City, Soviet-style show trials presided over by partisan judges, crooked prosecutors and jurors plucked from a pool that overwhelmingly hates Trump’s guts.

“And – though the media rarely sees fit to mention this – Trump was almost assassinated in July, under circumstances that remain somewhat murky,” he added of the assassination attempt that was quickly memory-holed by the corrupt media. “In response, Trump did NOT stop campaigning. He is working harder to win votes than he ever has, in the face of an elite media that hates him more than ever. For all his complaints about rigged elections, he wants to win this one quite badly.”

“So, yes, Donald Trump is angry. He has the right to be,” Berenson stated, suggesting that Trump’s anger is of the righteous type.

“We ALL have the right to be. For too long, our self-appointed betters – in the media, in public health, in academia – have told us they know best. They have told us that men can be women if they just click their heels three times, that the United States is an evil nation founded mostly to protect slavery, and that there’s no such thing as an illegal immigrant. Most of all they have tried to shut down – to cancel, to censor – anyone who disagrees,” he wrote. “They’ve gone too far. And with their lawfare, they have proven that they will do anything to stop the man they abhor.”

“So I will be voting for Donald Trump,” Berenson concluded. “It is not an easy choice – not for me, anyway – but it is the only choice.”
