Democrats appear to be moving toward a rather bizarre take on the riots occurring across the country prompted by the death of George Floyd. According to Minnesota governor Tim Walz (D) and assorted Democrats and leftists on Twitter, white supremacists may be to blame for the rioting and violence.
It’s not clear at this stage if they are attempting to call antifa white supremacists, if they genuinely are unaware of antifa(?!) and have mistaken them for white supremacists, or if they intend to ignore the black protesters, white college kids chanting Floyd’s name, and antifa goons and claim that it’s Trump-supporting white supremacists.
Actually, and as usual, it’s not even clear what they mean by “white supremacists” since that is a term the left uses to describe anyone who supports the president and/or is not a leftist Democrat. But they sure are having a field day blaming the violent, destructive riots on “white supremacists.”
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he suspects white supremacist groups and drug cartels are carrying out some of the violence in Minneapolis, but cannot confirm it at this time.Both Walz and Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington said at a press conference early Saturday morning they have do not have confirmed reports, but they have gotten intel from national sources that it is the case.Walz said the widespread riots across the country appear to be part of a coordinated effort by professionals.“We’re seeing evidence of some pretty sophisticated attempts to cause problems,” the governor said.
The resulting crazy about the white supremacist rioters on Twitter is . . . well, crazy.
And of course, Trump is to blame. Because Trump.
But people are pushing back.
If this attempt to pin the riots on these mysterious “white supremacists” plays out, we can expect news outlets to stop calling them “peaceful protests” and to revoke their ban on using the word “riot.”
This whole antifa is white supremacist thing might throw a wrench in the works, though. Democrats and their media cohorts have been running interference for antifa all along, but if they are now cast as “white supremacists” . . . .
