David Axelrod, Obamas 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. Hes 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 presidents 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 its me, whether its Keisha Lance Bottoms in Atlanta, whether its Muriel Bowser in Washington, DC, whether its 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 Trumps troops to come to Chicago and terrorize our residents.
The mainstream media has added their own spin, driving the narrative that Trumps 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 Axelrods 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 wouldnt last a day!
Obamas Russia Problem: Obama's Links to Soviet-era Spy Rings and Terrorist Networks
Since Obama has raised the alarm about alleged Russian espionage activity, its appropriate to shine a spotlight on his own administrations connections to Soviet-era spy rings and terrorist networks. Obama and two of his key advisors, Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod, were raised by families with members who are known either to have been in contact with Soviet agents or to have belonged to the Communist Party (CP) at a time when the CP was controlled by the Soviet Union. . .
Axelrod was born in Manhattan in 1955 to Joseph Axelrod, a psychologist whose family immigrated to Canada and the United States from Russia to escape Czarist persecution of Jews, and Myril Davidson (Myril Bennett), a journalist. Joseph listed his party affiliation as Communist in the 1930s, according to Davids biography. David tries to explain this away, but researchers have located records from the 1936 election that list his father as a member of the Communist Party. Joseph attended Columbia University at a time when it was an active center of CP activity. Meanwhile, Myril worked at the left-wing magazine PM, whose staff included Soviet agent I.F. Stone.
David graduated from New Yorks Stuyvesant High School in 1972. He earned a degree in political science from the University of Chicago, where he met his future wife Susan Landau. He wrote for the Hyde Park Herald as an undergraduate. His Herald work caught the attention of David Simon Canter, a second-generation CP member working in the publishing industry, and Don Rose, a former publicist for the CP-controlled National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam (Mobe). Canter and Rose began mentoring Axelrod.
With Canter and Roses help, Axelrod earned an internship at the Chicago Tribune, where he was hired and worked for eight years. He became the papers City Hall Bureau Chief and was its youngest political columnist. In 1984, he joined Senator Paul Simons campaign as its communications director, and was soon promoted to co-campaign manager. The next year, he formed his own political consultancy firm, Axelrod & Associates, which came to specialize in campaigns for black politicians after Axelrod worked on Harold Washingtons 1987 re-election campaign, joining Canter and Rose, who had worked on Washingtons previous campaign.
Axelrod first met Obama in 1992, when they were introduced by Betty Lu Saltzman (aka Bettylu Saltzman, Betty Lou Saltzman), an Illinois ACLU official. Saltzman and Obama were working together on Project Vote, a political organizing community geared towards low-income and minority voters, which Obama directed in Illinois. In 1994 Saltzman and Barack Obama were listed on the Friends of Alice Palmer committee, which also included several members of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Obama consulted Axelrod before giving a 2002 anti-war speech at a demonstration organized by Saltzman and Katz. Katz had formed a protest group called Chicagoans Against the War in Iraq. The groups cofounder was Carl Davidson, an old associate of Katz, Bill Ayers, and Mike Klonsky who had worked with Cuban intelligence and the KGB in the 1970s and had become a leader in the Committees of Correspondence in 1992. Obama later asked Axelrod to read drafts of his 2006 book, The Audacity of Hope.
While serving as Obamas chief strategist during the 2008 campaign, Axelrod hired Mode Project to design Obamas campaign logo. Mode Project assigned the job to Sol Sender, the associate of Subud USA official Victor Margolin mentioned earlier.
Axelrod served as Obamas Senior Advisor until leaving the White House in 2011. In 2012, he was again Chief Strategist for Obamas Presidential campaign. . .
Everything they accuse us of, they are doing.
If the democrats think what is happening in the cities helps trump, they can simply stop holding “rallies” there. It is all their people who are protesting and rioting.
Heck, you can even keep protesting, you just have to stop physically assaulting police officers, and stop trying to burn down buildings or destroy neighborhoods.
THere are NO cases where the police have instigated violence, or started the fires.
Look at the banner photo on Karl Rove’s Twitter page.
Interesting.....
It is really upsetting to listen to Obama’s yes men now attach President Trump with phoney accusations like ‘Trump wants to see cities burn so he can make TV ads’ while at the same time democrats are criticizing Trump for ‘sending in stormtroopers into the cities’ to intimidate rioters. What a bunch of horses asses!
