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.

A real leader would have come out as soon as happened and say it has to stop. He is about three months too late..

Biden Tweet: "I promise you that as president, I will protect America. I will protect you and your family."

That's what EVERY PRESIDENT'S JOB IS. It's their ONLY JOB!.....................

Clear sign they are worried about losing to Trump in November after months of claiming its an easy win for them.

The RNC has them rattled.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! You hit the nail on the head. The violence was allowed, even encouraged by the left...right up until it looks like it is no-longer having the desired effect. Now that the net effect is starting to push back against the main objectives - thwarting President Trump and getting Biden elected - it is apparently time for the violence to stop.

Don't worry folks, the violence will stop the moment it is no-longer useful to the left. Just like the pandemic. Remember that? Oh, that's right, it's rapidly fading from the spotlight because it's usefulness to the left has just about run it's course.

Remember all these other things that were used to get and hold our attention?

Gosh whatever happened to them? No longer useful in holding our attention or shaping the message (orange man bad!). Not that important. Not that they ever were really.

Most business insurance doesn’t cover loss through civil unrest is what I heard the other day. These shop owners are SOL. They just lost everything.

Why, Lemonhead? The looting and burning aren't violent!

Waitaminnit. Is that a tacit admission that Democrats control the rioters?

This is satire, right? Don Lemon does not even ADMIT that violence is taking place, this is all “mostly peaceful”. But that little bit that is NOT so peaceful, has wreaked hundreds and hundreds of millions if not billions in damage and carnage, not to mention needless deaths and ruined lives.

Kristallnacht in Germany under the Third Reich only lasted one night. This has gone on for months and months.

So if the polling was good for the LEFTISTS, Don Lemon would continue cheering on the rioters?

The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. ... We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me. -- O'Brien to Winston Smith, 1984

So, this politocrat is concerned only because of its impact on the election, not because of the impact on the lives of the victims of the rioters. I despise the MSM who have done nothing but foment the hatred that has caused these riots, those who have repeated the “gossip” with the intent to stir up feelings before the facts have been known. There should be a law that allows remuneration to be paid to individuals damaged by stories that have been prematurely reported incorrectly and not based on the facts. Especially those that have stirred the emotions of people such that they have conducted riots.

Although they're losing the gambit on the riots, the America/American-hating Democrat/Left Party has widespread, increasingly irrational fear going for them.

By making everyone and our society appear sick by mandated mask-wearing, the America/American-hating Democrats/Leftists are successfully slowing our economic recovery to a near-crawl by keeping the American people frightened of a quickly fading disease, distrustful and angry at each other as they have dehumanized us and stripped us of our unique identities, and depressed as the mandated masks serve as a constant reminder that we are just one sneeze or one cough away from certain death ... and many, many people remain too very, very frightened to resist.
