David Axelrod, Obama’s former chief campaign strategist, current CNN contributor, and director of the University of Chicago Institute of Politics, shared a New York Times story on Twitter Sunday, claiming the violent riots in Seattle are what President Donald Trump was “hoping for.”
Axelrod captioned his tweet, “The (sic) is precisely what @realDonaldTrump and his campaign were hoping for. He’s an arsonist, not a fireman. He wants to stir violent protests to fuel his “law and order” campaign ads.”
Last week, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot also took a shot at the president’s intentions, labeling his decision to send a “surge of federal law enforcement” to cities across the United States to address ongoing violence as “sexist” against female Democrat mayors.
“The president has been on a campaign now, for some time, against Democratic mayors across the country,” Lightfoot said. “Whether it’s me, whether it’s Keisha Lance Bottoms in Atlanta, whether it’s Muriel Bowser in Washington, DC, whether it’s Jenny Durkan in Seattle. You see a common theme here? The president is trying to divert attention from his failed leadership on COVID-19.”
Lightfoot only named cities with female mayors, ignoring the fact that Tump has talked about sending federal law enforcement to New York, run by male Mayor Bill de Blasio, Portland, run by male Mayor Ted Wheeler, and Kansas city, run by male Mayor Quinton Lucas.
Chicago, the third largest city in the country, has experienced unprecedented violence the last two months. Just this past weekend 63 people were shot. However, Lightfoot has made it clear she does not want help from federal law enforcement, writing in a tweet last week, “Under no circumstances will I allow Donald Trump’s troops to come to Chicago and terrorize our residents.”
The mainstream media has added their own spin, driving the narrative that Trump’s move to protect the American people is comparable to the most horrific and deadly regimes in human history, like Iran, military juntas of South America, and the Nazi secret police, Gestapo. They have also equated him to dictators, like Pinochet and Putin.
The Federalist co-founder and publisher, Ben Domenech, called out Axelrod’s attack as a vile lie.
President Trump defended himself against the likes of Axelrod, Lightfoot, and the media, in a tweet this morning, writing, “Homeland Security or Federal Forces are little involved in Seattle, other than we have a large standby team in case of emergency. The media is calling that one wrong also. In Portland, we are protecting Federal property, including the Courthouse, which wouldn’t last a day!”
Are you kidding????
DA is a nutcase. Just my opinion, of course.
His desperation to get hired for consulting work outweighed his will to stay on script. He can join Mr. Carville begging Communist Democrats for a job.
This would make a good billboard with the title
“The four horsemen of the apocalypse.”
Says the man who is likely organizing the riots.

In Democrat run cities you can die from a fire or bullet. Democrats are for choice.
Axlerod smell little boys bicycle seats
BFB
David Axelrod disappears and when he comes back he’s talking stupid , does everyone connected with Obama have Dementia
Pfft. These guys are pushing Trump to invoke Martial Law so they can go full blown Bolshevik.
There really is something so mentally wrong with the leaders of the left it is astounding the respect they garner from their base?
The way they twist the truth and people believe their lies. It’s just amazing to see. How do we break this “spell” cast over the eyes of the American Left?
A friend and I sat chatting last night and he is a pastor. He divulged that much of what he is seeing is demonic. He really feels he’s being called by God ...to speak the truth to demons. I asked him to be careful to not cast pearls before swine as well.
God/Jesus says to not waste the truth on those who refuse to hear. ‘shake the dust from your shoes.’
We agreed that we just don’t know if there are still souls left to be saved or if they can even be saved at this point. There comes a point to tend the flock.
If Democrats are going to destroy our cities then Trump can damn well point that out and capitalize on it. M
