NeverTrumper Montel Williams Says NY Times Threatened Him for Refusing to Participate in an Anti-Trump Story

No one will accuse #NeverTrump lunatic Montel Williams of trying to “help” Trump.

On the contrary, he irrationally hates Trump for unknown reasons.

Williams claims that he was threatened by a NY Times reporter who wanted him to participate in yet another Trump hit piece.

According to Williams, when he declined, the reporter threatened to publically reveal his personal address.

From the Washington Examiner:

A New York Times reporter threatened to reveal one of Montel Williams’ home addresses unless he cooperated with a story aboutDonald Trump, according to the political activist and former TV talk show host.

Attached to the message was a link to a Times story from Monday about Trump-branded apartment buildings in New York that are rebranding themselves in light of the brawling 2016 campaign.

The byline on the report belongs to Times reporter Charles V. Bagli, but Williams told the Washington Examiner that the reporter who was in contact with him and his representative was Times feature writer Jacob Bernstein. Williams has been critical of Trump’s campaign and has said he will vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Private direct messages on Twitter obtained by the Examiner show Bernstein asking Williams, who lives in one of the Trump buildings, to cooperate with the story. In his initial Oct. 19 message to Williams, Bernstein said he’s “working on a story about what effect Trump’s presidential campaign is having on the residential buildings he owns in New York.”

Williams directed Bernstein to his representative, Jonathan Franks. But Bernstein followed up with Williams to say he had been in touch with Franks but that “it’s your voice I need.”

“You’re one of the most prominent politically minded people living in a Trump building,” Bernstein said. He added that Trump has “become the leader of a movement that seems to many to be the modern day incarnation of the white power movement …”

Williams replied to Bernstein that he will “pass” and said that the story is “a waste of time.”

“Thanks for the input,” said Bernstein.

In an email to the Examiner, Franks said he had a phone conversation with Bernstein about the story.

“On the phone, I asked him not to print which of the Trump buildings Montel Williams lives in,” Franks said. “He then told me he’d be more likely to extend that courtesy if Montel gave an interview.”

Franks said he argued with Bernstein for about 20 minutes about whether Williams was a “hypocrite” for opposing Trump’s candidacy while still living in a Trump-branded building.

The Trump name is leased out to buildings throughout the U.S., though the candidate does not actually own them. Franks said that the particular building Williams lives in is not owned by Trump but that it merely bears his name.

“He’s lived in various Trump buildings over the years,” Franks said of Williams.

Two things I take away from this article:

Firstly, how dishonest and nasty our media is – they are disgusting – while claiming Trump is an “awful” person, this creepy “reporter” is threatening to reveal someone’s HOME to the public.

Nice.

Secondly, these elites STILL don’t understand the Trump movement.

They call it “white power.”

WTF is this idiot talking about?

Trump has the highest Hispanic support of any GOP candidate EVER and is on track to have the highest black vote as well.

It’s so ignorant and irresponsible – the North Korea media has had plenty of time and opportunity to truly get to know and understand the Trump Movement, but they’ve chosen not to do that and instead spread lies.

THIS is why so many Americans hate our North Korea media.

This is a movement – we are the political OUTSIDERS fighting against the FAILED GLOBAL ESTABLISHMENT! 

Join the resistance and help us fight to put America First!
