A talking head on MSNBC has called for a post 9/11 style government crackdown as a means of winning “a battle for hearts and minds” of Americans who might turn against the leftist mindset and become overly patriotic.
Paul Rieckhoff, founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and Righteous Media compared the “threat” of such a scenario to the “number one threat” after 9/11, effectively suggesting conservatives and Trump supporters are akin to terrorists.
“A lot of Americans are up for grabs. I wouldn’t dismiss it as just something only people on the right or watching Fox News latch on to. We are in a battle for hearts and minds and there people are on the fence,” Rieckhoff asserted.
“You got to have leaders and messages and messengers and programs to get to those people that bring them over into community organizing and into non-profit organizations and away from the Patriot Front and Oathkeepers,” he continued.

CIA front organization or is the guy just a late-night cable TV sales promoter?
Becoming? I always was patriotic!
The left wing Paul Rieckhof is a Fascist! Who knew!
Winning hearts and minds……. By eliminating any other choice. What an evil twat!
Well, he talks about “Patriot Front” as if it is an actual right wing organization rather than a government front group, so chances are he’s a government mouthpiece.
Paul Rieckhoff = Patriot Front plant.
I got your 'crackdown' right here!
If we are unwilling to do our duty, maybe we should not complain...
