President Trump's Attorney van der Veen reads the riot act to a CBS interviewer

[American Thinker] One of the things that endeared Trump to his legion of supporters is the fact that he would not let leftists in the media set the narrative. He refused to accept the biased premises underlying their questions and assertions, thereby breaking with decades of conservative behavior. That same fire burned through Michael van der Veen, one of the attorneys who helped achieve Trump’s acquittal when CBS’s Lana Zak implied that it was just a little thing when House impeachment managers falsified evidence.

For decades, when the media interviewed Republicans, it posed questions that were the equivalent of the infamous "When did you stop beating your wife?" question. That question assumes that the person being interrogated did, in fact, beat his wife. And for as many decades, Republicans never forcefully pushed back against the false premise inherent in the question.

That is, Republicans never forcefully pushed back until Trump came along. In 2017, Evan Sayet summed up what Trump’s supporters loved (and still love) about him: "He fights."

As Sayet explained, for decades the left has been engaged in a brutal, scorched-earth war against America and, very specifically, against conservatives. Conservatives, however, kept playing by the rules. They’d get kneecapped and apologize for leaving their knees in the way of the left’s jackboots:

#5 "He refused to accept the biased premises underlying their questions and assertions" This is a most useful skill, but hard to develop. The "biased premises" are a type of assumption. Old story about President Lincoln comes to mind. Abe was sitting behind his desk, receiving visitors. While he was listening, he was polishing his boots. One visitor took exception to this and asked, "Mr. President, do you polish your own boots?" Abe: "Yes. Whose boots do you polish?"
