Don Lemon breaks down, begs Democrats: 'The rioting has to stop'
American Thinker ^ | Taylor Lewis

Posted on 08/27/2020 3:19:36 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Don Lemon's timbre has never quivered so much. Even when he wept while reciting his own philippic to President Trump, the CNN host wasn't this unmistakably grave.

"The rioting has to stop ... it's showing up in the polling, it's showing up in focus groups," he warned Tuesday night, referencing the nightly violence in cities like Portland, Ore. and Kenosha, Wis. Lemon was conversing with fellow host and quarantine scofflaw Chris Cuomo, but he was speaking directly to his target audience: Democrats, elected or otherwise.

*snip*

Democratic executives are starting to cave, after giving tacit approval to the smoking out of their metro downtowns. Wisconsin's Governor Evers has requested that the Wisconsin National Guard step in to temper the Kenosha unrest. Oregon's governor, Kate Brown, put out a Twitter dictum, practically begging the malcontents to vacate: "It's time for the violence and vandalism to end so Portland can focus on the important work to be done to achieve real change for racial justice." With that kind of stern ultimatum, it's a virtual guarantee those Portland rascals will pick up their trash and put away their toys before heading home. Even D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser is joining the tut-tut bandwagon, criticizing BLM activists after they bawled out white diners for not showing enough fealty to the cause.

If spectators look closely, they can see Democratic campaign coaches on the sidelines calling the next audible.

Right; when the leftist government of Spain armed the radicals in 1936, it understood that it was surrendering control of the situation - they just preferred communist and anarchist radicals to the “law-and-order” government the military would impose.

In the first year, the communists turned on the anarchist leadership and killed them, then drafted their rank-and-file into communist-led units at gunpoint. The left had their own “civil war within a civil war”, and the average person saw little reason to support the victor; the lie was exposed.

The Homothingy----CNN’s Don Lemon----used the word “riot” to describe “peaceful protests?”

Yikes.

Lemon’s committed a grievous p/c offense.

(Sniffle) He’s encouraging systematic racism, the violent fight for social desirability,
and (gasp) he's imperiling ethnic diversity...America's basic strength (sob).

Offenses that grievous should not be overlooked by CNN (ahem) newsmakers.

Sorry Don. Those Biden rallies are building momentum all through the Blue States, where Dem gubners and Dem mayors cheer the rioting on while arresting those who defend against it.

I watched (on TV) as Jerry "Fatty" Nadler called the riots a "myth."

Cities are burning and he calls it "a myth."

I heard he made a truly profound and insightful statement from the basement bunker ... something like “the violence has to end.”

George Orwell was fighting with the Anarchists when that purge went down, barely made it back to England with his life. His book Homage to Catalonia is a quick read, and those times were certainly an important part of the genesis of 1984.

So, let me get this straight, only when the rioting, looting, and mayhem begin to adversely affect Dem polling and thus their potential path to power do they suddenly want it to stop. Before the bad polling Democrats and the corrupt MSM were perfectly fine with the “peaceful protesting”. Very revealing, as if we didn’t know.
