You got to give the Democrats credit when it comes to standing in front of a camera and lying they have got brass balls. Of course it helps when the person holding the camera is kissing your ass. It also helps that a large portion of people listening to you are ignorant bigots.

I see democrats causing the violence and democrats trying to blame it on their favorite bogeyman, the white supremacists.

Tweet: David Montgomery, political data journalism w/@MPRnew
.@GovTimWalz says his unconfirmed suspicion is that not only are “white supremacists” involved in violence in Minneapolis, but also drug cartels...

Um. That’s not what was said David, you are lying, a reporter asked him if white supremacists were there & the Gov said that we’re looking into it but cartels were there

Minnesota gov. hints that white supremacists, drug cartels could be part of widespread chaos
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said he is aware of unconfirmed reports that gangs of white supremacists are taking advantage of the anarchy unfolding in Minneapolis to create more chaos.
The comment came during an early morning press conference Saturday...

When asked by a reporter if Walz was aware of rumors that white supremacists had joined some of the looting he said based on “my suspicions and what I’ve seen on this, yes.”
“It gets worse than that,” he added. “The cartels, who are wondering if there was a break in their drug transmissions, are trying to take advantage of the chaos. That’s why this situation is on a federal level.”
Walz added that he is working closely with the federal government to gather intelligence on who is participating in the destruction and whether they belong to organized groups.

If the police see a white citizen holding a gun, out defending his property, this gives them an excuse to shoot that person. I wonder why they havent shut down cell phone service in these areas? Without a phone most of these rioters black or white would be unable to function.

30 May: Star Tribune: ‘You need to go home,’ Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says as new fires, looting hit Minneapolis
By Ryan Faircloth; Staff writers Pam Louwagie, Liz Sawyer, Libor Jany, Chao Xiong and Abby Simons contributed to this report
At 1:30 a.m. Saturday, a visibly exhausted Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey held a lengthy, emotionally ragged news conference...
Implying that organized outsiders, perhaps including anarchists, white supremacists and drug cartel agents from outside Minnesota, were contributing to the chaos, Walz said, “The sheer number of rioters has made it impossible to make coherent arrests. ... The capacity to be able to do offensive action was greatly diminished” by the sheer scope and seemingly organized nature of the assaults.
“The terrifying thing is that this resembles more a military operation now as you observe ringleaders moving from place to place,” he said...

At early Saturday’s news conference, Walz said that the state is seriously considering accepting the type of military help proffered by the Pentagon, especially if it includes national intelligence assistance about outside forces contributing to the violence in Minneapolis.
“Why are we talking about anarchists who are burning down damn buildings that were built up by indigenous owners” instead of talking about a police officer whose actions led to the death of a citizen, he said, describing the escalation in the scope of the violence since Monday. The genesis of the outrage and protests has been lost in the riot leaders’ manipulative chaos, he claimed...

I heard it live, the press conference. About 2 AM CST maybe. Both the guvner and mayor read some boilerplate word salad bull$&@t, groveled a bit, apologized for something they aren’t guilty of and pivoted immediately to ‘splainin why they couldn’t or wouldn’t do anything they are statutorily required to. The usual leftist democrat politician nonsense.

Then they had a question and answer period. Well the guvner did anyway. The mayor immediately un-assed the AO for golly knows where. It might have been among the very first questions. It had an odor about it.

It wasn’t something that caught him off guard. Seems to me he either provided the question to the press, or it was provided to him, or whatever. Everybody on the livestream was laughing their ass off, watching this unfold in real time. Even the host, not exactly a conservative firebrand by any stretch, was incredulous anybody would say something like this.

shameful The Express has made this a headline and has chosen 4 negative tweets to one positive:

30 May: UK Express: Furious social media users savage Melania Trump over Minnesota riot tweet
MELANIA TRUMP provoked a furious backlash from social media users, after criticising protesters in Minneapolis for using violence.
By John Varga
America’s First Lady took to Twitter on Friday to condemn the violence, while expressing her deep condolences to the family of Mr Floyd.
She wrote: “Our country allows for peaceful protests, but there is no reason for violence.
“I’ve seen our citizens unify & take care of one another through COVID 19 & we can’t stop now.
“My deepest condolences to the family of George Floyd.
“As a nation, let’s focus on peace, prayers & healing.”

However, many Twitter users were unimpressed with her intervention and vented their fury at the First Lady, accusing her husband of having inflamed racial tensions throughput his presidency.
One wrote: “Your husband called the White Supremacists in Charlottesville who murdered a young woman and harmed many others, ‘good people’.
“Give it up.”...

A fourth said: Your heinous husband encourages violence daily with Its abhorrent tweets.
“But you don’t care, do you?”

However, Melania had her supporters, with one tweeting: “She has the right to speak. At least she is trying to spread love and peace.”

Not this time. This is Minnesota. They are the notorious NORWEGIAN gangs. You can tell because they lutefisk wrappers all over the place.

Yes, as Biden said, if they don’t vote democrat, they’re not black. So maybe the guys who look black that are looting these stores don’t vote. So they’re white.

Like calling Bruce Jenner a woman.
