Wednesday night, CNN’s Jake Tapper highlighted some left-wing violence which hasn’t gotten much media attention.

Could the experience of reporting Antifa attacks on reporters change CNN attitude? Probably not for long.

Error on my part.

Klan/Nazi/alt-right rally”

??????

The KKK is, was, and always will be the Democrat Party, and the National Socialist Workers Party is the Democrat Party and Bernie supporters. On What Planet would these two Far Left factions of the Democrat Party be considered “Right” of anything other than Full Blown Communism????

Absolute proof that antifa people were attacking people unprovoked.

BTW terry McCauliff needs to be asked under oath if he told those cops to stand down. I’ll bet he did.

One America News did an excellent extended report on the Charlottesville incident tonight - at least three journalists were attacked, including one who needed several staples to close a wound in her head - the entire affair has got to be investigated by the Department of Justice as a violation of civil rights - the freedom of speech of those with a permit who were denied the right to assemble and speak, and now the freedom of the press to do their job.....

He probably didn’t use the exact words “stand down” so he will not be lying when he says “no” under oath. Lawyers on our side don’t seem to be able to ask questions in a way that excludes weaseling out of the truth.

How great would it be if chicken MSM turns in these black shirt hoodie people because they get roughed up a little. Hell I will stand between a few of these whips with bats and the try to smash a downtown ba building and pick them off.

Imagine Antifa if we shoot back

Indirectly. It was the Mayor who told the Chief of Police what he wanted done.

Police said the stand down order came from the mayor.

Did McCauliff order the mayor to call off the cops ?

Quite possibly.

If Antifa is attacking CNN reporters it’s only because they’re fascists. So shut up Tapper.

It’s about to happen, and if / when it does, we’re going to have a civil war.

The media is playing the role of useful idiot for now. If, God forbid, the Antifa or other violent leftists succeed in overthrowing the government and putting themselves in charge, the media will be the first to go.

Not that anyone will be able to enjoy any Schadenfreude over it. Because those violent leftists will also be attempting to round up millions of people to eliminate.

What needs to be investigated & exposed is who is funding and organizing them. Of course we all know it is Soros, but investigate & prosecute him.

I watch One American News mostly now, and they did a great job of covering how antifa was about violence, and the Gov, mayor, the deputy mayor who has made racial, and sexist comments..

It was very insightful and the only news station which mentions Soros, his funding, the antifa violence, and even the refugees going to Europe setting up no go areas.

OAN does some really fine extended reports on a number of topics that you don’t see anywhere else, including one a couple of months ago on the whole Seth Rich/DNC “hacking” business - nothing on Fox compares.....
