After Day Three Of The DNC, Still No Denunciation Of Riot Violence

The Federalist  . . . "While Democrat powerhouses condemned Trump for killing Americans with the China virus and spent time celebrating their ticket’s pledge to pursue widespread gun confiscation, there was no mention of the left-wing militants terrorizing the nation’s cities.
     "To the contrary, the surge in city homicides this year accompanying anarchic demands to defund police in Democrat-controlled cities was all but ignored, save for the routine blame on firearms. It was just 24 hours earlier that mob rioters in Portland on their 83rd straight night of lawless unrest set ablaze the municipal building home to Oregon’s first same-sex wedding. There wasn’t one indictment, however, of the societal breakdown coming from the party’s own base Wednesday night, only charges of Trump’s supposed incompetence for refusing to heed protestor demands to allow cities to burn in the absence of law enforcement.
     "Just hours before the convention’s third prime-time kickoff, Fox News Contributor Marie Harf claimed on the network’s “Outnumbered” that “Democratic leaders are screaming that this is not what people like John Lewis would have wanted us to do.”

     “ 'If you do not think the Democrats are speaking out about it, you’re not listening,” Harf said on the five-person panel, some of whom appeared visibly confused on-screen and for good reason. If Democratic leaders were “screaming” to denounce the riots, one would presume its prime-time national convention would be the place to do it." . .  .

'Concerned for the country': AG Barr rips Dems' refusal to condemn Portland violence  . . . "The attorney general also challenged claims by committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, New York Democrat, that Antifa-led violence in Portland is “a myth.”
“ 'I don’t think it’s a myth,” Mr. Barr said, adding that the anarchist group was “heavily represented” in the riots, which have flared up in racial justice protests that have lasted 62 days." . . . If Jerry Nadler says the riots are a myth, they're a myth!

Democrats Refuse to Condemn ANTIFA  . . . "In May, President Trump rightfully designated ANTIFA a terrorist organization due to its members’ violence and destruction of businesses, homes, and federal property.
"These radical groups have wreaked havoc on cities. In its path of destruction, ANTIFA has ruined countless communities and injured innocent citizens and police officers.
"The Acting Deputy of Homeland Security reported an estimated 140 federal law enforcement officers who were protecting a federal courthouse in Portland sustained over 270 injuries.
"During the Congressional hearing, Texas Senator Ted Cruz welcomed bipartisan criticism of the group given its known record of violent acts.
"Democrats on the Committee couldn’t bring themselves to condemn ANTIFA despite the riots and unpeaceful demonstrations." . . .

‘You’re Welcome To Say Something Negative About Antifa Right Now’: [Republican] Ted Cruz Spars With [Democrat} Mazie Hirono At Senate Hearing  . . . “ 'OK, she declined to speak, so that is the position of the Democratic Party,” Cruz shot back. “I would note also that of the seven Democratic senators who spoke, not one of them apologized for or denounced multiple Democrats calling law enforcement officers Nazis, stormtroopers and Gestapo. To be fair, I have not heard the word Nazi, but stormtrooper was Nancy Pelosi and Gestapo was another Democratic leader. That was less than helpful.' ” . . .
