I’m Not Making Any Retraction!

By Ben Meiselas

I am not issuing any retraction. I am not taking back my words. I meant what I said yesterday. It’s why I said it in multiple videos. I called Donald Trump and JD Vance “vile pieces of trash,” and I said Donald Trump is a felon, a sexual abuser, and a lifelong fraud.

These are called facts. Why would I apologize or retract these statements? Why should I tone it down? If anything, I didn’t adequately go far enough in describing the degree to which Trump and Vance and their ilk are awful humans.

So many people in corporate news wanted to give me advice yesterday and lecture me that Trump will go after me and I should issue a retraction and tone down and temper my criticism of Trump and Vance. I’ve made myself clear before, but I will say it again:

I don’t fear this regime. They’ve already tried to destroy my life and our network before. They’ve failed, and they will again. I look forward to the day I can subpoena Trump’s records, take his deposition, and watch him squirm and invoke his Fifth Amendment rights.

In these dangerous times, it is critical we remain fearless in the face of this regime and always be on the offense. I am proud that the MeidasTouch Network continues to lead the way among all independent media, and we continue to beat Fox News in digital views.
