Celebrities and the rioters: virtue-signalling and boot licking

The Federalist’s David Harsanyi asked Mr. Rogen to donate instead to black Minneapolis residents like Stephanie Wilford, who gave an interview sobbing over the destruction, or Korboi Balla, a former firefighter who saw rioters destroy the bar he had bought with his life savings.

Isn't it about time Target got rid of Chrissie Teigen?  "Chrissie Teigen, as Andrea Widburg noted here, is joining the growing celebrity cavalcade of woke leftists vowing to bail out "protestors." She pledged $200,000 to get the looters out of jail, the better to Get Trump, upping her pledge when people on Twitter protested.

"It was bizarre stuff, given that she's already made millions from her shelf space selling her own brand of cookware for Target.

"Wasn't Target ... one of the first business to have been trashed utterly by the violent, thieving looters? Hasn't Target been forced to shut 24 stores in Minnesota alone due to looting?

"The footage from the south Minneapolis looting of Target, on the first night of the riots, was utterly appalling.

“ 'Rich white dude bailing out thugs who are burning down black neighborhoods,” tweeted Mr. Harsanyi.
"Tweeted another commenter: “You gonna donate to the small businesses that had their whole livelihoods destroyed by these ‘protestors’ that burned their building to the ground or looted all their stuff?”
"Others pointed out that some Democrats are blaming the rioting on white supremacists, meaning that those being bailed out may be Nazis and fascists." . . .
