After four months of looting, arson, window breaking, vandalism, intimidation, physical assaults, stabbings and shootings by Black Lives Matter and antifa, the first thing on the medias mind is getting Trump to condemn white supremacists!
It would be as if, on the morning after Pearl Harbor, the League of Nations demanded that FDR condemn American aggression in the Pacific.
Why on earth was Trump being badgered by both debate moderator Chris Wallace and Democratic nominee Joe Biden to denounce white supremacy? And why wasnt Biden ever asked to condemn the nonstop violence by antifa that actually has been consuming the country for more than 100 nights now?
Wallace to Trump: Are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups?
Trump (perfectly accurately): Sure. Im willing to do that. But I would say almost everything Im seeing is coming from the left wing, not the right wing.
The medias position on the murderous BLM and antifa riots has gone from What riots? Theyre peaceful protests! to The rioters are white supremacist Trump supporters!
Who thinks white supremacists are a major force in America? There havent been any two people in 50 years whove gotten together and said, Arent whites way better? Shouldnt we rule over other people?
White supremacy is a bogus concept invented on college campuses. There are white men who do horrible things, just as there are Asian men and black men who do horrible things. But they dont represent any kind of organized movement.
You know whats an organized movement? Antifa Rose City Antifa, Antifa Seven Hills, Antifa Sacramento, Atlanta Antifascists and so on. Theyre organized well enough that hundreds, sometimes thousands, of antifa members always know exactly when and where to show up, and what weapons to bring. Then they turn around and celebrate the destruction theyve wrought (unpunished by Democratic mayors and liberal district attorneys).
But in Chris Wallaces demon-haunted imagination, out beyond the coastal cities, theres a scary world of pickup trucks being driven by men with long-barreled guns trying to re-enact Roots. (And they shop at Walmart!) White supremacy is a bogus concept invented on college campuses.
When Trump tried to bring up Pearl Harbor i.e., the actual violence, as opposed to liberal imaginary violence Wallace cited Kenosha.
REMINDER: After two nights of looting and arson by peaceful protesters in Kenosha in response to the police shooting of a knife-wielding black man resisting arrest, a group of men calling themselves Armed Citizens to Protect Our Lives and Property did just that. One of the men, Kyle Rittenhouse, shot three antifa as they were attacking him, killing two, in a clear case of self-defense.
Thats Wallaces big example of right-wing violence: an armed citizen defending himself. The left wants antifa to rule our cities, with no pushback from uppity Americans.
Trumps more addled debate partner, Joe Biden, threw in the Proud Boys without correction by Wallace, whose entire career at Fox has been an audition tape for NBC.
Burning down police precincts, knocking statues off their pedestals, smashing windows, looting and vandalizing stores, stopping cars and demanding the drivers pledge allegiance to BLM, banging drums outside of politicians houses late into the night was it the Proud Boys doing any of that?
Why are we talking about the Proud Boys at all? How about asking the Sierra Club to renounce violence?
