(CNSNews.com) - White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Monday that the Democrats have shifted their message from one stoking the flames of the rioters behind violence in cities like Portland to one blaming President Donald Trump for it.

“It’s so interesting to me to see Democrats who once ignored the violence, all of a sudden caring about it, but let's not forget what they said previously. Speaker Nancy Pelosi downplaying the violence rocking U.S. cities ignorantly saying ‘people will do what they do,’” McEnany said.

Well, truth be told, there have been some instances where the fires have been set by a firefighter. Look up "Firefighter arson".

Maybe a cleaner analogy could have been selected.

Your screen name is appropriate, I’m sure. Anyone who can nitpick like that must own about 15 cats.

There have been popes and presidents who work against the purposes of their jobs, as well. Also mailmen who throw away mail (striking ones in Canada burned it). School teachers who teach lies and filth. Dentists who sell fillings for good teeth.

It is hard to find a profession or career where there AREN'T such people. The analogy holds fine.

Does any rational adult expect that the Democrat Party to take responsibility for their policies? They are worse than a petulant child caught doing something wrong.

Way off (and too high). If I hadn’t added “and too high”, you would have just assumed more than 15 cats. It’s never been more than four.

Dems will gladly do that if there’s some political power at stake.

Wheeler in Portland is in effect facilitating a criminal enterprise. The issue is there is no one to prosecute him, unless you get the feds involved.

Racketeering.....

They do read replies to tweets - I made a similar reference last week.
