I love how liberal reporters use “mostly peaceful” as a euphemism for “violent.” And of course, these are merely “protests” and “demonstrations,” all in the American tradition of free speech.īritish readers of the Daily Mail got a far more accurate picture of what went on: The crowds swelled as the night went on but remained mostly peaceful. The demonstrations, fueled by social media, continued into the early hours of Thursday. Thousands of people across the country marched, shut down highways, burned effigies and shouted angry slogans on Wednesday night to protest the election of Donald J. The election of Donald Trump has precipitated a wave of violence, which the New York Times acknowledges rather grudgingly: In America, political violence is pretty much exclusively a phenomenon of the Left. This one was titled Violence on the Left: I recently looked at a couple of posts that I did in November 2016 that make the point. How about a “9/11-style” commission to investigate the murders of Trump supporters in Portland and Denver during the campaign? Or the people who died in the Minneapolis riots? That would make more sense.Īctually, if you want to talk about insurrection, the violence and violent rhetoric that the Democratic Party marshaled after Donald Trump’s election in 2016 more nearly fits the definition. The idea of appointing a “9/11-style” commission to investigate a riot in which no one was killed or seriously injured by the rioters is self-refuting. The Democrats’ pompous characterization of the mini-riot at the Capitol on January 6 as an “insurrection” is a transparent political ploy.
