NBC News “presidential historian” Michael Beschloss attempted to slam the president in a tweet referencing the nation’s 16th president Abraham Lincoln. However, he was quickly given a history “fact-check,” thanks to Ben Shapiro and other conservatives.
“Abraham Lincoln never told an esteemed reporter, ‘Don’t talk to me that way! . . .I’m the President of the United States. Don’t ever talk to the President that way!” posted Beschloss, referencing President Donald Trump.
Shapiro chimed in: “Um, Lincoln shut down more than 300 newspapers,” he said, mockingly adding: “So much historianisming.”
Others also chimed in to inform the presidential historian,
“You know, for someone who’s a ‘Presidential Historian,’ you sure don’t know jack sh*t about the Presidents,” posted Alex VanNess, citing an executive order from Lincoln.
“‘Presidential Historian’ who doesn’t know Lincoln jailed journalists,” mocked conservative author Ryan J. Girdusky. “The elites are very stupid people who are being held up by people who love their institutions.”
“Abraham Lincoln jailed journalists you absolute cheesebag,” wrote Kyle Mann, Editor-in-Chief of popular satirical site The Babylon Bee.
“Lol this is NBC News’ ‘Presidential Historian,’” he mocked, added a swing at legacy media: “When Biden throws journos in jail for investigating Hunter or questioning his latest war they will thank him for being so polite.”
“Sometimes when spoiled children play a board game and lose, they scream and overturn the board,” Michael Beschloss tweeted. “And grownups do not constantly shriek, ‘Unfair!’”
“He should not let the door hit him on his way out,” Beschloss said, seemingly referencing the president.
He also compared Trump and his administration to “The Three Stooges.”
