Don’t look now but someone in the media finally asked a Democrat to comment on Antifa. Tim Dunn of WBSM Radio in New Bedford gave Elizabeth Warren a chance to condemn Antifa and she failed miserably.
One has to wonder why Warren would even want to condemn Antifa. Many of these masked thugs are her ideological children from the Occupy movement. When pressed by Dunn, Warren twice turned the conversation back to the narrative that President Trump condoned white supremacists in Charlottesville.
Here’s a transcript via Frank Camp of the Daily Wire:
DUNN: After specifically condemning the KKK, neo-Nazis, and other white supremacist groups following Charlottesville, President Trump drew criticism from some suggesting that both sides were responsible for the violence on Saturday. Absent the presence of white nationalists, left-wing protesters threw bottles of urine and rocks at police officers. The same occurred last night in Phoenix following the president’s rally. Are you prepared to condemn violence on that part of the left-wing agitators, such as Antifa, as you have the right-wing, white nationalist group? “Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon,” “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!” are some of the things they’ve chanted. Do you care to comment on that?WARREN: Violence is not the way to go. Violence is not the way to advance our interests. But let’s be really clear about what Donald Trump did. He said that there were a lot of good people marching with Nazis and white supremacists. Those are not good people when they march with Nazis and white supremacists, period.DUNN: Is Antifa, those people we saw on the Boston Common, are they good people?WARREN: I didn’t see them marching. What I saw were people who are Nazis and white supremacists. And Donald Trump said those are good people marching with them. They are not good people.DUNN: But referring to the Boston Common, I mean, 40,000, the peaceful demonstrators versus the very littl e—WARREN: People who march with Nazis and white supremacists are not good people.
The video below is cued to begin at the 5:37 mark. Just press play:
If Trump supporters were showing up at events dressed in black, donning masks and beating people up, you better believe the media would be asking every elected Republican in the country to denounce it.
Democrats are being given a pass on Antifa by the media which is itself defending the violent group in some cases.
Quite a change from the media’s coverage of the Tea Party under Obama, isn’t it?
According to a report in Twitchy, Antifa members in Berkeley this weekend chanted, “No Trump, no wall, no USA at all.” Doesn’t that warrant condemnation?
