Muddy Maxine Waters — What a Riot

Michelle Malkin  . . . "She’s earned a lifetime of left-wing adoration for whitewashing the deadly riots as a “rebellion,” excusing the week-long shooting, looting and arson orgy as “a spontaneous reaction to a lot of injustice and a lot of alienation and frustration,” and coddling Crips and Bloods gang members — with whom she performed the Electric Slide as part of her “fearless support and understanding of young people and their efforts at self-expression.”
"I covered Waters in the early 1990s as an editorial writer and columnist at the Los Angeles Daily News. Her federally funded Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center was a gang-infested boondoggle.
"She embraced Damian Williams, the infamous thug who hurled a chunk of concrete at white truck driver Reginald Denny and performed a victory dance over the bloodied innocent bystander.
"And she and her family personally profited from her rise to racially demagogic power.
"She owns a tony mansion in predominantly white Hancock Park, several miles outside her congressional district." . . .  Her Democrat liberal privilege helped out.


For those who don’t know about the LA Riots of 1992, 58 people died, and many more were gravely injured, including a man called Reginald Denny.  . . . "It all happened on videotape, a helicopter caught it, and it happened in Maxine Waters’ city. But she did not denounce the attack. On the contrary, she all but endorsed the attack.
"The leader of the mob that nearly murdered Reginald Denny was called Damien Williams.
"Maxine Waters visited Damien Williams’ mother to offer her support. Williams was sent to prison on a single felony charge of mayhem, but when his accomplices got off, Waters joined in the celebration."  . . . Those guys were simply "protestors":

Tucker Carlson Slams ‘Dangerous’ CNN For Calling Violent Minneapolis Rioters ‘Protesters’   
“Diverse countries only survive if the groups within them can coexist peacefully and thankfully almost everybody in America wants to coexist peacefully.”And CNN doesn’t want that kind of coexistence. Especially in the era of Trump.“News organizations like CNN do not want that, and that’s why every day they work hard to fan racial resentment to make different groups distrust and hate one another,” he said.
 Woman in Wheelchair Is Beaten by Minneapolis Rioters Who Then Claim She 'Deserved' It  . . . "Jennifer said looters and rioters beat her from the front and back. Indeed, there’s video of a woman beating her in the head from behind. Fortunately, looters and rioters around her had some scruples and begged the woman to stop.
"Journalist Andy Ngo cast about on Twitter for more video of the rioters and Jennifer found this video of her being choked by a concerned citizen who was ostensibly upset over the police killing." . . .
Maxine Waters on all the above:
Maxine Waters Dumps Gas on the Fire as Violent Riots Leave Parts of City 'Unrecognizable'  . . . "Waters’ comments, which play on the racial aspects of the case, seem poised to only fan racial divides in the city.
"Her dismissal of the justice system and blanket attack against many cops is not far off from the lawmaker’s usual rhetoric, but the timing of her latest comments mean her words now have even greater potential to result in violence." . . .

CNN Calls Minneapolis Rioters ‘Protesters’…

CNN’s Lemon Blames Trump For George Floyd’s Death…
We all need to be prepared for anything and everything to be blamed on Trump between now and the election so this is no surprise. As we get closer to the election the accusations and blame are going to get more and more outrageous. (Comment)
UK Daily Mail


. . . "The march rally began near the Hall of Justice at around 4p.m. local time before protesters marched through the streets toward the area of Temple.
"People carried signs reading ‘Black Lives Matter’. (Supported by Kamala Harris)
"The group then made its way onto the 101 Freeway where they blocked cars along the road. "The freeway was forced to shutter.
" 'By around 6.25pm local time, the crowd began moving off the freeway and continued moving through downtown LA streets, reported NBC Los Angeles
" 'As night fell, some protesters were seen burning an upside-down US flag before they carried the burnt remains of the flag towards a row of police officers. " . . .
. . . 
"At the Target store near the site of Floyd's arrest, the inside of the store lay in ruins, with stock depleted of all goods and the remaining merchandise flung across the floor.
"Witnesses reported thieves using power tools to break open cash registers and trying to access the store's safes, before it too was set alight and seen engulfed in flames.  
"Rioters then turned to a Wendy's where they sprayed graffiti on the walls before moving onto a bank - trying to bust it open and raid the ATMs. 
"A group of four men with huge firearms were seen outside a GM Tobacco store as they said they had come to protect local businesses from looters, reported Minnesota Reformer." . . .

Democrats are Panicking at the Prospect of Quick Economic Recovery

Legal Insurrection

“Unlike the Great Depression and Great Recession, economist[s] are predicting a bounce-back the likes of those seen after a natural disaster.”

"If you’re hoping the economy stays in the crapper to help your electoral aspirations, you might be a Democrat.
"To be fair, Democrats aren’t technically anti-economic growth in post-pandemic America, but they are gravely concerned that any quick bounce-back will give Trump an opportunity to brag about an economic come-back. Or so says a report from Politico." . . .

The President's Press Secretary stands alone against the media forces who want to eat her alive

Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany Turns Briefing On Its Head, Demands Answers From The Press  . . . “ 'I laid out a series of questions that any good journalist would want to know about why people were unmasked,” McEnany began, asking whether anyone in the room had followed up on her questions.
“ 'Oh, not a single journalist has posed that question?” she asked, introducing her slides and suggesting that they all consider the answers to her questions over the holiday weekend. “Maybe you’re visual learners and you guys will follow up with journalistic curiosity,” she added."
"Her questions were as follows:
  1. Why did the Obama administration use opposition research, funded by a political organization and filled with foreign dirt, to spy on members of the Trump campaign?
  2. Why was Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn unmasked by Obama’s chief of staff, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, and others?
  3. Why was Flynn’s identity leaked — a criminal act — to the press?
  4. Why did the DOJ learn about the FBI’s interest in Flynn’s conversations with the Russian Amb. from a conversation with Obama in the Oval Office?
  5. Why did James Clapper, John Brennan, Samantha Power and Susan Rice privately admit under oath that they had no evidence of collusion while saying the opposite publicly?
“It’s a long weekend,” McEnany concluded. “You guys have three days to follow up on those questions and I certainly hope the next time I ask, some hands go up. Because Obama’s spokesperson should be asked those questions, because President Trump’s spokespeople certainly would be.”
"With that, McEnany closed her folder and walked out of the briefing room." . . .

In praise of Kayleigh McEnany  . . . "Most press secretaries, however able, seem reflexively on the defensive. McEnany is cheerfully outgoing, a patient but no-nonsense camp counselor in charge of the problem kids. I like her air of calm competence, her well-put-together sense of style, and her frank but uncloying affirmation of religious commitment, signaled by the discreet golden cross that she wears on her necklace.
     "All this drives the press nuts, of course, as does her habit of turning questions back on the questioner. This makes the game of ‘Gotcha!’ very difficult for the munchkins of the Fourth Estate. At a May 6 presser, one bemasked scribe attempted to taunt McEnany with a comment she made a few months back on Fox News before she was appointed Press Secretary. ‘President Trump,’ she said, ‘will not allow the coronavirus to come to this country.’
     "Gotcha? Nope. Not only had the little man torn the statement utterly out of context — the context being President Trump’s efforts to keep Americans safe from such banes as terrorism and the Chinese virus — but it also totally ignored the prevailing narrative." . . . Roger Kimball's article continues..
