The unhinged reaction from the left to Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal last week is easily dismissed as a glimpse into the rancid minds and rabid hearts of the ideological brigands of modern progressivism.
But it may offer clarity about the real threat posed by the Democratic Party and its fellow travelers to the values and institutions that have made America the most successful democratic republic in history.
With varying degrees of apoplexy, from President Biden on down, the party’s leaders and its allies emphasized their dismay with or rage at the decision by 12 of Mr. Rittenhouse’s peers, after due deliberation, unanimously to find him not guilty of first-degree murder and lesser charges in the killings of two men and wounding of a third during the August 2020 riots in Kenosha, Wis.
Mr. Biden, proving himself once again the consummate moral weakling, first declared his respect for the jury’s verdict, then pronounced himself—no doubt after consultation with his handlers—“angry and concerned.”
While the follow-up statement paid lip service to the idea that a jury’s decision should be respected, the more striking message was that remarkable emotional response to its unanimous decision.
The president’s politically motivated disregard for the rights of accused defendants is well documented by now. He had already included the young man among a video montage of “white supremacists” during his memorably “healing” campaign for the presidency. He also told the nation he was “praying for the right verdict” as the jury deliberated in April before convicting Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. Running commentary on the guilt of criminal defendants is despicable when offered by barroom braggarts, but when it comes from the most powerful man on the planet it amounts to reckless endangerment of the rights of his fellow citizens.
But that’s the point.

Can’t help there but don’t link this sickness to just appearing with BeijingBiden. Obama did the same thing when he condemned some coppers as racists — waaay before the truth came out.
The idea is to keep the NPR voters for these losers enraged and therefore convinced that only a dictatorial central gov’mt can handle this. This approach is working, BTWay.
How about ‘ due process ‘ for Darrell Brooks? Short rope , tall tree
Although this article has some good points, it ends by stating that he, Joe Biden, is “the most powerful man on the planet!”
After ten months is office, Joe Biden has proven to be barely able to show any sign that he knows what day or what month it is.
Joe’s,(whom we now call)”handlers,” are the players in the Obama administration, led by Obama himself.
They, and they alone are the “most powerful,” at least in our sad Republic.
