Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake offered up regrets on “Meet The Press” Sunday for saying space was given to protesters in Baltimore who “wished to destroy.”

Rawlings-Blake told host Chuck Todd that she “certainly used the wrong phrase,” of which she received roundabout criticism as the riots escalated Monday.

Mayor, you did not mean to say it, but it was exactly what your leadership meant when y’all discussed the situation behind closed doors. You and the communists want the mob to destroy, you want chaos and anger so that you can get more of whatever it is that you want. You will get your karma for your own destruction.

Attractive gal but, dumber than a tree stump.

I’d still hit it...unless Laz gets to her first.

"We also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well."

“Stand Down” goes right along with “let them destroy”. What the hell, “it’s only property”........

Seems she said a lot of things that she is now denying. She needs to be burned at the stake like witches of older days. Lying bitch witch that she is.

This piece of filth mayor was only repeating what Valerie Jarrett told her.

Of women? Guilty.

Of her? Not so much

I’ll an idiot as much as I’ll hit a smart gal...

Difference is: I’ll leave the second she jumps in the shower. A smart gal is going to find I prepared breakfast prepared by the time she dresses.

The rioters understood this gave them the green light to rampage,loot,destroy for fun and profit. This is why the rioting started because of what this clown said.

That's too bad. That mayor should pay for every single store that was destroyed and every policeman who was injured.

Class action lawsuit without CVS then.

“This WH seems to be good at “stand down” orders”

I am reminded of another White House that sent
the National Guard to protect the borders but
didn’t allow them to have any bullets.

Civics 101. The role of the executive is to enforce the law.

She is guilty of dereliction of duty, not a mere slip of the tongue.

Reportedly the mayor was on the phone with the WH when the stand down order was given. WH of course wants riots, burning, looting. They are happy. This WH seems to be good at “stand down” orders and let the rioting commence....even when an ambassador’s life is at stake.

What did the people expect when they elected a community organizer as president?

“”I turned off FOX and all their ridiculous coverage, especially Geraldo!,””

DITTO! I’ll get blasted for this but CNN coverage is much better and not so inflammatory. I sent an email to Roger Ailes regarding Geraldo’s behavior; it was disgusting. He and Vitter are looking for more trouble and if they don’t find it, they’ll start it.

I also told Ailes that CNN will be my “go to” channel for NEWS!!! I’m tired of FOX “talking over” guests and never acknowledging their remarks..they act as if their guests are mute and don’t have anything to say. Why invite them on? I avoid all the biased reporters on CNN by not tuning in until 4 or 5 pm...for 100% news coverage, they do the job better than anyone else.

“”I think she was saying that by giving the peaceful protesters room to protest, they also gave the unpeaceful protesters room to destroy.””

I believe you are right....with a little more knowledge of English she could have inserted the word “UNFORTUNATELY” and it would have been what she meant!

So, let’s see how this works: Tim McVeigh bombs the Federal Building in OKC and Rush Limbaugh gets the blame for…saying words. Stephanie Whatsis-Doofus says, in effect, let ‘em riot, and let ‘em loot it’s only property, then orders the PD to assist the looting by cut’nrun, and…silence on the left.

Okay, got it. Just trying to learn the rules.
