28 Times Media And Democrats Excused Or Endorsed Violence Committed By Left-Wing Activists
The Federalist ^ | JANUARY 7, 2021 | Tristan Justice

Posted on 01/07/2021 8:27:10 AM PST by Yo-Yo

After excusing and ignoring riots from leftists all year, Democrats and their allies in the media are ready to condemn riots now that the turmoil has shifted to fit their narrative.

Democrats and their allies in the media are ready to condemn riots now that the turmoil has shifted to fit their narrative.

On Wednesday, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building. It was an astonishing display of anarchic protest that delayed congressional certification of the Electoral College vote formally handing former Vice President Joe Biden the keys to the White House.

he scenes from the dark day of disaster demonstrations illustrated a deteriorating country, repulsed millions, and traumatized a nation still recovering from the death, despair, and disruption that came to define the dystopian months of 2020. Above all, what happened Wednesday served as a grim reminder that the institutional stress test of 2020 has followed us into 2021.

For the left, however, the chaos at the Capitol has opened an opportunity to refute the perception they own the monopoly on widespread political violence. Democrats and left-wing media elites have already capitalized on the violent outbreak, where four people died, to characterize conservatives as the creatures of chaos.

At this point, it’s undeniable that the political far-right calls home to its own Antifa-like anarchists. It is also undeniable, however, that reaction to the protests from conservative leaders roundly condemning the violence from their own side stands in remarkable contrast to the way Democrats and corporate media spent months going out of their way attempting to justify the deadly actions of militant leftists.

Which is PRECISELY WHY there should be NO condemnation of the Right Wing protesting yesterday!!!! This was NOTHING compared to Minneapolis, Seattle, PORTLAND, New York, ChiKago, and the rest of the cities burned by leftists since May 29th!!!!

ANY Republicans that condemn this is a COWARD!!!!

This is just a list of 28 *current* examples of the media blaming the Right for violence committed by the Left. I remember this garbage all the way back to the Kennedy assassination and the attempt by the media to portray Oswald as right-wing.

“where four people died”

I take issue with this. Three people died of heart attacks. People have heart attacks going through the Air and Space museum. They should check them for covid, maybe they died of that.

Correction: the 28,000 times Media-Dem Party endorsed or encourage left-wing violence.

I doubt if you can come up with 28 times they condemned the violence.

They won’t prosecute Antifa instigators.

Photos, Reports Show ANTIFA Infiltrators Stormed the Capitol Building

Liberals instigated violence at Trump’s rallies in 2015 and 2016 to make conservatives look bad.

The same thing is happening here. And it was done to justify systematic oppression of conservatives by Biden-Harris AND scare Republicans into rolling over on the Electoral College vote that was going on.
