Yes…
You read the headline on the piece right…
A wannabe white militia 17 year old shot and killed two protestors and then went on to kinda say it was alright for the same people to shoot paintball guns and pepper spray at protestor’s also….
He tried to say the paint shooting was peaceful….
This is how Donald Trump things…
He’s been this way from the 2016 campaigns to now, with NO change…
Yet he can complain that Americans should be afraid of Joe Biden?
Donald Trump does Not see himself as the leader of America…
He’s just there for himself and continues to push the very same violence he’s two faced tried beat up Joe Biden on…
Trump is going to the city personally to further rub things in one would presume ….
Joe Biden is not going there though some have implored him to do so…
At the start of and throughout his news conference Monday evening, President Trump attacked Joe Biden for condemning violence but not specifically left-wing perpetrators of it.
The president offered his first public comments about Kyle Rittenhouse, a supporter who was charged with murder in Kenosha, Wis., as well as other Trump supporters who converged on Portland, Ore., and apparently fired paintball guns and pepper spray at protesters.
Trump found little fault with any of them. He noted that at least the paintballs weren’t bullets and called it a “peaceful protest.”
“Well, I understand that had large numbers of people that were supporters, but that was a peaceful protest,” he said. “And paint is not — and paint as a defensive mechanism, paint is not bullets. … These people, they protested peacefully. They went in very peacefully.”
Trump then pointed to a man who identifies as an anti-fascist and who is under investigation in the killing of a right-wing demonstrator after a Trump rally in Portland.
Trump said the man “shot a young gentleman and killed him — not with paint, but with a bullet. And I think it’s disgraceful.”
The president offered no such condemnation, though, when it was noted that one of his supporters, Rittenhouse, has been charged with killing with actual bullets in Kenosha. Trump indicated he thought Rittenhouse’s actions might have been warranted.
“That was an interesting situation,” he said. “You saw the same tape as I saw. And he was trying to get away from them. I guess it looks like he fell and then they very violently attacked him. And it was something that we’re looking at right now, and it’s under investigation. But I guess he was in very big trouble. He would have been — probably would have been killed, but it’s under investigation.”
Biden has repeatedly condemned the violence that has occurred in cities across the country, often in broad terms. He has drawn criticism from Trump and his allies for not more specifically highlighting left-wing violence or mentioning antifa, but Biden has referenced “anarchists” and said he condemns violence on both sides of the political spectrum. “I condemn violence of every kind by anyone, whether on the left or the right,” Biden said Sunday.
…
The contrast between how Trump spoke about that situation vs. the others is telling….
An armed 17 year old kid “patrolling” and excused by the leading “conservative” in the country?
Maybe I ended that “Conservatism Is Bunk” series too soon?
The absurdities of the Right Wing never cease to amaze.
And will continue to be supported by the American President…
Armed white kid is all you need to know ss to why this Presudent and his party are defending Ritterhouse.
Kyle Rittenhouse was but one disturbed teenager.
But the self-appointed pro-Trump group he attached himself to, or at least identified with — The “Kenosha Militia”, connived at by the official Kenosha Poliee Department — and the gang of black-clad Trump supporters from the Portland (Ore.) suburbs present a terrifying prospect: will more armed fascist gangs appear to provoke even more trouble in restless cities, and thus give Trump an excuse or pretext to intervene? Neither they nor Antifa want peaceful non-violent protests protected by the First Amendment (“the right of the people peaceably to assemble”).
And anyone who’s studied history will be familiar with the way such right-left violence (the Brownshirts, the Blackshirts) can ease the way to popularly-condoned dictatorship.
Yes DSD…
History repeating itself in plain sight…..
