Last Night, We Saw Fascism In the Streets [Updated]
Powerline ^ | 11 Oct, 2019 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 10/11/2019 7:11:45 PM PDT by MtnClimber

Last night President Trump conducted a fabulously successful rally at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. Scott had a great experience that included meeting the President and hearing his reporting praised repeatedly by President Trump. The 20,000 who were lucky enough to get into the Target Center had a wonderful time; by all accounts it was one of Trump’s best rallies.

But outside the arena, things were quite different. Thousands of lawless, violent Democrats “protested” Trump’s appearance by committing assault, among other crimes. They battled police officers. They attacked Republicans leaving Target Center. They set bonfires and burned patriotic regalia. They carried the flag of the defunct Soviet Union.

They spat on peaceful Trump supporters. They assaulted an uncounted number of normal citizens leaving the Target Center. They struck a woman across the head with a piece of lumber. They waved a sign that said, “Blue Lives Don’t F@$king Matter.” The Minneapolis Chief of Police reported, “Objects containing liquid believed to be urine were hurled at some of my officers along with bottles and rocks. Police horses were also assaulted by protesters striking them with sticks.”

These leftists are identical to the Nazi Brownshirts of the 1930s. But make no mistake–they represent today’s Democratic Party. A sitting Democratic State Representative, Aisha Gomez (DFL-Minneapolis), was seen among the fascists, dressed in black like an Antifa hoodlum.

The anti(First Amendment) thugs think that speech they don't agree with is violence that deserves violence in return.

The right-leaning media must stop referring to the Democrats as the Democratic Party. There is nothing democratic about these scumbags.

We need to bring those facts to light before it is too late.

Well, no. You need CCW, and when they attack you as a mob with weapons, you shoot them dead.

It's quite clear to me that the Dems with their fellow leftists in the Courts and media will do anything, allow anything, or conceal anything to regain power.

I'm hoping Trump will win in 2020, but I'm beginning to think we will never know what the real vote was or how many people were prevented from voting, etc.

So my hope that this can be remedied through the ballot box or the law are really beginning to fade.

Scott Johnson, John Hinderaker's Powerline co-blogger, was invited to the rally by President Trump. Trump introduced Johnson to the crowd.

Of course, everyone who attended the rally would have been unarmed, unlike the snowflake antifa thugs outside who were armed. Something has to change. They have organization, we don’t. Even if there had been some patriots there, they would have been greatly outnumbered. It was like Little Bighorn.

Does anyone remember the political protests/riot in Chicago years ago and how the police handled it. Didn’t have many more after that.

The Democrat Klan has ALWAYS sought to suppress and intimidate and terrorize Republican voters.

Weather Underground’s first action was the Days of Rage riots one year after the 1968 DNC riots.

Yeah, was thinking there should be Rs there, not attending the actual event, providing security where police won’t and state forbids self-defense prep.

Fox covered it live after the rally and talked about it extensively.

“there should be Rs there, not attending the actual event, providing security”

According to the Oathkeepers website, they, a biker group, et al., were going to do that very thing. Guess they canceled those plans.
