Minnesota AG Keith Ellison: 'Nobody really knows' who is driving protest violence
The Washington Times ^ | May 31, 2020 | Tom Howell Jr.

Posted on 05/31/2020 11:42:44 AM PDT by kevcol

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said “nobody really knows” who is driving the raucous violence at protests related to the death of George Floyd and faulted the Justice Department for casting blame on left-wing militants.

He said Attorney General William Barr, who pointed to “Antifa-like” tactics in the protests, should be investigating instead of “making incendiary comments.”

“The truth is, nobody really knows,” Mr. Ellison told NBC’s Meet the Press. “What the exact political motivation is is unclear at this point.”

The time is long past to consider ellison and his ilk as “uninformed.” They are very well informed, and instead of being well-intentioned buy ignorant, they - and he - are just plain evil.

The “theory” being pushed by the left about white supremacists sparking the riots is based on the lie that they infiltrate the protests and cause violence in order to damage the left. In actuality, those who pimp the “theory” do nothing except give away the left’s own M.O. for the protests.

You’ve heard, I’m sure, about the invasion of the US by Muslims and drug cartel gang members into this country allowed and encouraged by the Obozo are now being arrested and expelled by our Great President, Donald J Trump. And then there is also the democrat cabal of criminals and establishment RINOs who Trump is also exposing. To Mr. Ellison, who is a Muslim, I’d say one would have to be a moron and or liar to not know who is behind all of this chaos!

Then why not arrest them, interrogate them, charge them, and try them so we can find out?

Let's see who pays the bail, let's see who pays the lawyers.

Or are you afraid of what the answer will be?

it’s the “white supremacists” not blacks, Black Lies Matter or Antifa. Notice how they are trying to shift the blame away from the true perps. They realize now that the majority of people don’t like rioters, looters, and arsonists.

Notice when its ANY group on their side doing the violence the left will say “We dont know the cause” but if its some dude wearing a MAGA hat its automatically “Those damn right wing Republican Nazi’s they are doing it”

Keif doan know nuffin. Actually very selective ignorance on his part He knows perfectly well who the violent protesters are, and their motivation, but a cage door has been opened, and it won’t be easily closed again.

Got on hell of a PR problem on his hands at the moment. Kind of hard to fob these off as “disgruntled Trump supporters” once they have self-identified themselves as “ANTIFA”. These are of the same mindset, as the Sturmabteilung or “Storm Detachment”, who took part in the Kristallnacht of November 8-9 of 1938 throughout Germany, so the term “ANTIFA” is really pretty absurd. These people are abut as “PROFA” as they can get.

uninformed idiot

If only.

He is NOT "uninformed." Not even a little bit.

Not only does he know EXACTLY who is behind this, he is part of it.

“nobody really knows”

Racist code words for “we know it’s BLM and Antifa”

Every word of that is a lie including the word, "the".

Oh. Okay, Keith. But, just for the record, what should be done to those who are driving it once they are exposed?

said, "“nobody really knows” who is driving the raucous violence at protests"

He is admitting that it's not based on grass roots. That it's directed. The only person that would know that is someone in the know.

He is not an idiot. He is not uninformed. He is a liar. The ones who voted for him, including the self hating Whites are idiots. But he is not. He is a wicked, evil, liar.
