CNN 'Republican' Ashley Davis: French Riots? Nobody Cares, Students Started It, Thugs Hijacked It

Ashley Davis, the former Bush White House official who regularly appears on CNN as a house Republican, delivered a performance on Tuesday’s CNN This Morning that could have come straight from a Democratic or DSA talking-points memo.

[snip]

Once the images of smashed storefronts and fires appeared, she pivoted: the protests had been “hijacked, in my mind, I have no idea where they’re from, it doesn’t matter, but they’ve been hijacked by thugs that are starting to destroy stores.”

Translation: She knows darn well “where they’re from”—but that doesn’t fit the liberal narrative.

Ashley Davis is what passes for a “Republican” on CNN.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

[laconic]

The second I saw she was in the Bush White House devalued her comments 99 percent for me.

It’s spreading to many countries in the EU and I saw a video yesterday of one in Montreal Canada , it’s getting close

Third World Trash doing what they do best Trashing things

"...Nobody Cares, Students Started It, Thugs Hijacked It..."

[Jeff Chandler]

it’s getting close

Portland is usually patient zero for such an outbreak of civil chlamydia.

[Skwor]

Europe burns and CNN’s fake republicans play the violin. These people be-clown themselves hourly.

Seems to be conveniently avoiding the same thing happening in Milan, Italy. Because that didn’t start with students? It’s not Rome?

The Bush gang

Good friends with the Clintons and Obamas

They all dress the same so must be funded by the same Criminals

But, but, but... IT WAS JEB'S TURN

Thin skinned Bushes need to get over Trump's win - an affront to their dignity? They're politicians, not KINGS and Queens. Eff 'em. They lost and the family wants to take their ball and go home?

CNN and MSNOW can drag their their 'Bush true believer sycophants' on the stage but few of us give a damn about their old hatreds or desire for revenge. The Bush family helped open the border to the third world - they hate us for noticing. (That said Jeb was a first rate Governor of Florida ... and the rest of the Bushes were talented honorable public servants, but it was a race and Trump won... they need to get over it...)

Jeez, another one to add to my list of all the skullduggery that Deep State put in place in the 1910s...

Per AI, sourced to Foggy Bottom (aka The State Depat.)...

“Yes, Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens. They have been statutory U.S. citizens since March 2, 1917, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Jones-Shafroth Act. Anyone born in Puerto Rico today is a native-born U.S. citizen under federal law (8 U.S.C. 1402)”

1917 was not a good year for our republic, was it...

Who is the woos hijacking cowboy culture?

[Vermont Lt]

Do most people know about these riots? Nope.

Do the people who are aware of the riots understand what is going on? Nope.

Is it likely these things will spill over the the US? Probably, but not until after the mid terms.

Will it be effective for the DSA folks? I doubt it. These things usually happen in the cities. I think it is pretty clear that most people understand those places are run by liberal democrats and that there isn’t much disruption that is going to happen that would impact MOST Americans.

Now if these people started attacking infrastructure (bridges, pipelines, the grid) then Americans would see it and get pissed off.

Now, let them start burning churches. That would change the perspective a lot.

The good thing is in Italy they brought in the Army to regain control.
Now the Milan Duomo piazza is back to normal.

[woodbutcher1963]

There are some great videos on the internet of the Italians using the Water Cannons.

Nothing like a Water Cannon on a nice fall evening to get someone’s attention.

Chuck Rocha, a Dem strategist who was an adviser to Bernie Sanders. He is a regular on CNN This Morning's Group Chat, and always wears a cowboy hat. I say you have no business wearing one for a TV appearance unless you have your horse tied up at the curb outside the studio. Mark McKinnon does the same thing.

[Resolute Conservative]

That is not a cowboy hat. That is something like actors, like Ethan Hawke, wears in a piano bar when trying to look cowboy.

Spoken as a 60-year-old cowboy that had horses and cows.

Ashley Davis is a moron if she thinks that the entire riot business in France was some sort of spontaneous happening. It was planned scheduled and choreographed by the far left to destabilize the French government

This is also planned for the post election USA If the Leftists and their Brown Shirts win they will riot in celebration. If they lose (which I hope to God they do) they'll riot in anger. Either way they are going to riot to try and destabilize the government. I'm reasonably sure in places like Portland and Seattle pallets of bricks will be delivered ahead of time.

The good old "Looters will be shot on sight" if applied will go a long way to dampening Antifa enthusiasm.

As an aside beck in 1983 I saw an ad for M-60s NIB (excellent riot preventers) for $2200 + $200 xfer fee and briefly thought about buying two as an investment but decided my money would be better off elsewhere. Feel free to laugh
