CNN’s Stelter downplays Antifa beating conservative; airs edited clip?

Why does CNN continue to defend Antifa?

CNN’s “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter downplayed Antifa after several alleged members of the group brutally assaulted conservative journalist Andy Ngo over the weekend.

And, it also appears that he aired an edited clip on his show, one in which omitted the Antifa thugs actually assaulting Ngo.

Ngo, a reporter and editor for Quillette, has been reporting from the ground in Portland, Oregon, on Antifa rallies and how violent the far-left group is towards anyone who does not cower to their demands.

While covering a protest over the weekend in Portland, Ngo was harassed, tormented, had “milkshakes” with concrete mix thrown at him, and was physically assaulted by a gang of Antifa thugs.

According to images and videos that he and others uploaded to social media, Ngo was attacked by the left-wingers for doing nothing other than covering the event.

In one instance, Ngo was sucker-punched in the face by a masked thug.

When he covered his injured face, Ngo was swarmed by the mask-wearing goons and viciously kicked and pushed. They also hit him with liquid containers.

At first, people thought Ngo was hit with milkshakes. But after he was treated at the hospital, reports began to surface that there was allegedly concrete mix in the bottles thrown at him.

Stelter, who claims to be the arbiter of truth and objectiveness, spent less than one minute on the attack.

Stelter also only showed a short clip of the attack, which did not show any of the Antifa goons attacking Ngo.

After about 45 seconds of covering the attack, Stelter rushed the segment into commercial and practically refused to allow his panel to have a conversation on what the left-wing mob did to a reporter.

Stelter, the same guy who cries foul anytime someone says something mean about the media, couldn’t muster up one minute of his time to condemn Antifa and demand action against them for attacking a journalist.

I would if I was Ngo and his attorney.

But the DOJ needs to investigate this incident and a couple of others in the same protest, where people were assaulted by Antifa and the police who were standing around did nothing. I believe a member of congress has called for the same.

This is a civil rights violation of the people attacked and someone, the city, the mayor, the police and/or Antifa needs to be held accountable.

We don't live in a banana republic yet. But we will be, if this Portland municipal tyranny and disregard for the safety and security of it's citizens is not restored.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo openly defends ANTIFA’s violence. CNN is the worst of the worst.

The “VERY BAD PLACE” is upon us!
In the 1980’s, Larry McDonald and a handful of others predicted that we were headed to a very bad place.
Now, 4 decades later, those dire predictions are becoming reality. We can stop it, but time is short!
The shorthand for Larry’s warning is this: A nation can VOTE socialism IN. But history tells us that socialism ALWAYS moves to communist TYRANNY. And the only way to escape TYRANNY is to shoot your way OUT!

And Chris Cuomo says Antifa is one of the good guys?
Is AT&T, the owners of CNN, giving aid and comfort to a domestic terrorist organization?
