We have interesting developments to share as the “peaceful” protesters continue defacing buildings, looting, committing bodily assaults, and toppling statues. President Trump has sent in the “federal police.” Except that isn’t the development of interest.
The Democrat mayors of 15 cities across the United States have signed a letter asking Attorney General William Barr and Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Chad Wolf to remove or not send federal law enforcement officers to their municipalities, calling the deployments an “abuse of power.” Except that isn’t the interesting development either. For now, the deployment is limited to the most unruly of all-Portland.
In the countdown of most interesting, the action of Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot finishes a strong third. “I’m calling on all Chicagoans that if you see something that doesn’t look right, please, don’t hesitate to report it,” Lightfoot said during a press conference. “We are going to remain diligent.”
Finally, she is urging residents to take action to take back their beloved city from its year’s long violent crime wave. Isn’t she? Nope. She continued, “if we see any steps out of line, particularly with DHS or Border Patrol, we are not going to hesitate to take the president to court and stop any unconstitutional actions.” Let the crime wave roll all the way to Waveland Ave.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler joined a violent demonstration in his city Wednesday night at which “protesters” threw flaming bags of garbage at a federal courthouse. He also was jeered by the crowd before being tear-gassed by federal officers. How woke is Wheeler? In one day’s time he marched with the offenders and got mocked by them. Then he got gassed by the federal officers he had signed a letter against earlier in the day. His wokeness finished a close second.
But the hands-down winner is Hiden Joe Biden’s hot take. Wednesday during a remote union town hall meeting, the Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President called President Trump the country’s “first” racist president. This should save the few statues that still stand that have George Washington or Thomas Jefferson atop the pedestal. It seems like just days ago we were told they were racist.
All of the peaceful protesters are now free to go back home to mama’s basement, but we digress.
Long live Mt. Rushmore too?
