Sarah Sanders is leaving the White House as press secretary, President Trump said Thursday on Twitter.
Domestic terrorists committing violence is bad enough but Democrats egging them on is worse. Starting with Barack Obama Democrats have been urging violence against conservatives more each day. That includes liberal media pundits and Democratic operatives as well. The media avoids talking about liberal violence. The media portrays conservatives as violent but it is the liberals doing the rioting, looting, burning and assaulting.
Obama labeled the patriot organization that rose during his administration as the “the teabag anti-government people.”. Hillary Clinton referred to the middle of the country citizens as “deplorables.” Can you imagine if the shoe had been on the other foot? The shrieks would deafen you.
Here are some prime examples of liberals calling for violence:
After Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was denied service at a Washington, D.C., restaurant, Representative Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) encouraged her supporters to harass administration officials:
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. You push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere. e’ve got to get the children connected to their parents.”
After taking about burning down the GOP, no-longer-conservative Jennifer Rubin said President Trump’s supporters must be leveled:
“We have to level them because if there are survivors — if there are people who weather this storm, they will do it again — will take this as confirmation that, ‘Hey, it just pays to ride the wave — look at me, I’ve made it through.’ “
Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) encouraged supporters to get up in the face of Republican members of Congress:
Booker, who has been mentioned as a possible 2020 presidential election candidate, was speaking Wednesday at the National Conference on Ending Homelessness in Washington, D.C. He concluded his address by encouraging people not to be passive, and to instead “go to the Hill today.” “Please, get up in the face of some congresspeople,” he said.
Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) called on liberals to fight in the streets against Trump and his supporters. Kaine’s son was arrested in antifa protests.
Former AG Loretta Lynch called for supporters to march and bleed and die in the streets to resist Trump. I didn’t notice Lynch bleeding or dying, did you?
Kamala Harris said that the current riots won’t end after election day but she also says they shouldn’t. Isn’t that promoting violence? She wants what we are seeing to continue? She would be a heartbeat away from the presidency if Biden wins. Is this what we really want but refuse to ask for? Or is this what the left wants and doesn’t care if you do or not.
Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) last week called for unrest in the streets. You expect this from antifa or BLM but not our elected officials. She has pushed for the fund that bails out rioters. You don’t have to condemn the riots but you shouldn’t be promoting them.
Nancy Pelosi has called for civility but last week called Republicans, “Enemies of the State.” The riots are dangerous but rhetoric like this makes things worse. Dumping gas on a fire is not a good way to put it out, but that’s what Pelosi did. When Trump is reelected, you will see the violence ratchet up but will bring no condemnation from the left.
MSDNC host Joy-Ann Reid called Scalise an “extremist” but that was while Scalise was in the hospital after being shot by a Democrat. The shooter had become inflamed by liberal rhetoric calling conservatives extremists. But no one called the shooter an extremist. The left cheers violence but would oppose it if the shoe were on the other foot.
Republican Senator Rand Paul was verbally assaulted by two left-wing protesters while out to lunch with his staff at a California restaurant.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul was confronted by two people while eating lunch Friday with his staff at a California restaurant.
Paul’s deputy chief of staff, Sergio Gor, captured the moment in a video he posted to Twitter. “While having lunch with @RandPaul in California, we got verbally assaulted by these aggressive libs complaining about incivility,” Gor wrote. “Check out the vid! #unhinged“
“You just ran into two people from New York, kiddo, and we’re not putting up with your Republican bulls–t,” the woman in the video shouts at Gor.
The Kentucky senator is on a nationwide tour to promote his new book “The Case Against Socialism.”
Sergio Gor@SergioGor
Paul retweeted the video and said that while “the left blames incivility” on the president, he urges voters to “watch this video and decide who the rude ones are.”
“This is not every New Yorker, but I see this way too often in New York City, though,” said “Fox & Friends: Weekend” host Jedidiah Bila. Noting that this happens when people recognize you and they know that you have a different opinion.
“At the end of the day when you see lawmakers, when you see people that are in this process, let them eat their dinner,” said co-host Griff Jenkins.
“And also, people who do these things: It may feel in the moment that you’re taking a stand, but this is not a good look for you…Have some respect,” Bila added.

President Trump on Thursday night issued a memo giving Attorney General William Barr the authority to declassify any documents related to surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016.
President Trump on Thursday night issued a memo giving Attorney General William Barr the authority to declassify any documents related to surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016.
Trump also ordered the intelligence community to cooperate with Barr. The memo read: “The heads of elements of the intelligence community… and the heads of each department or agency that includes an element of the intelligence community shall promptly provide such assistance and information as the Attorney General may request in connection with that review.”
“Today, at the request and recommendation of the Attorney General of the United States, President Donald J. Trump directed the intelligence community to quickly and fully cooperate with the Attorney General’s investigation into surveillance activities during the 2016 Presidential election,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.
“The Attorney General has also been delegated full and complete authority to declassify information pertaining to this investigation, in accordance with the long-established standards for handling classified information. Today’s action will help ensure that all Americans learn the truth about the events that occurred, and the actions that were taken, during the last Presidential election and will restore confidence in our public institutions.”
In a Twitter message late Thursday, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani defended the president’s action.
“The President @realDonaldTrump made a wise decision to let AG Barr on the documents,” Giuliani wrote. “I don’t know for sure but I seriously doubt there’s any national security concern but some of it could affect pending investigations. I’m sure AG and DOJ will make a very appropriate decision.”
U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, blasted the move as an attempt to “weaponize law enforcement and classified information.”

Congressional Democrats on Tuesday rejected President Trump’s invitation to a lunch meeting at the White House to discuss border security, in the latest sign that both sides of the government shutdown standoff remain entrenched in their positions with no compromise in sight.
A senior administration official told Fox News that the president had invited Democrats to join his lunch with members of Congress in the Roosevelt Room shortly after noon. But moments before the session, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement that nobody took them up on the offer.
“The President has a proposal on the table that includes additional technology at ports of entry, allows minors from Central America to seek asylum in their home country, and physical barriers between ports of entry made of steel instead of concrete,” she said. “Today, the President offered both Democrats and Republicans the chance to meet for lunch at the White House. Unfortunately, no Democrats will attend. The President looks forward to having a working lunch with House Republicans to solve the border crisis and reopen the government.
“It’s time for the Democrats to come to the table and make a deal.”
She said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer “refuse to negotiate.”
Trump, however, did not invite Pelosi, instead reaching out to rank-and-file Democrats including centrist Democrats from districts where Trump is popular. A Pelosi aide reportedly said she gave lawmakers her blessing to attend, telling her leadership team that other congressional Democrats can see what she and others have dealt with during the shutdown.
Pelosi predicted that after meeting with Trump, the lawmakers would want to make a “citizen’s arrest,” according to the aide.
But the lawmakers ultimately decided not to attend. The meeting boycott leaves unclear how and when both sides might negotiate a resolution to the partial shutdown, which was triggered when Trump demanded nearly $6 billion for a border wall and Democrats refused — and is now the longest in U.S. history.
House Democrats have tried to pressure the Senate to take up bills funding parts of the government, to no avail. Meanwhile, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., announced Tuesday that if the government remains shut down, the House will not have its planned recess next week.
“If the government is not open, we will not have a recess,” Hoyer told reporters on Capitol Hill Tuesday. “That does not mean we will be here every day, members will be on 24 hours notice. We’ll have some votes next week…we’ll be here next week to do business.”
The last White House meeting with Democratic leaders did not end well. Pelosi, D-Calif., and Schumer, D-N.Y., sat down last week with Trump, but Schumer said it ended when the president “just got up and walked out.”
“He asked Speaker Pelosi, ‘will you agree to my wall?’ She said no. And he just got up, and said, ‘Well, we’ve got nothing to discuss,” Schumer said last week.
Pelosi, after the meeting, said the president was “petulant,” and Schumer added that Trump slammed his hand on a table in frustration and had a “temper tantrum”—a move Trump, Vice President Pence and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy later denied.
Trump rejected the account, tweeting that “Cryin’ Chuck” Schumer “told his favorite lie when he used his standard sound bite that I ‘slammed the table & walked out of the room. He had a temper tantrum.’ Because I knew he would say that, and after Nancy said no to proper border security, I politely said bye-bye and left, no slamming!”
Trump initially requested $5.7 billion in funding for security and construction of the wall, citing the “humanitarian crisis” and “invasion” at the border as reasons. Democrats have vowed to block any type of spending package that would involve funds to build a wall along the Southern border.
But Trump has continued to press for wall funding, tweeting Tuesday: “A big new Caravan is heading up to our Southern Border from Honduras. Tell Nancy and Chuck that a drone flying around will not stop them. Only a Wall will work. Only a Wall, or Steel Barrier, will keep our Country safe! Stop playing political games and end the Shutdown!”
The president on Tuesday also questioned whether Pelosi should continue getting paid while the standoff drags on — as Pelosi accused the president of holding the paychecks of hundreds of thousands of federal workers “hostage.”
“@realDonaldTrump, stop holding the paychecks of 800,000 Americans hostage. There is no reason for them to suffering right now. Re-open the government! #TrumpShutdown,” Pelosi tweeted in response.

Just one day after he walked out of a contentious White House meeting with Congressional leaders, President Trump is preparing personally to visit the southern border as he continues to contemplate whether to declare a national emergency to fund a wall there.
Trump is scheduled to visit near the U.S.-Mexico border in McAllen, Texas, a city of 143,000 on the river, on Thursday, which would be the 20th day of the ongoing partial federal government shutdown affecting nearly 800,000 federal workers. Trump is expected to be joined by his senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
While details on Trump’s travel schedule are scant, a local paper reported that advance teams from the Secret Service have locked down the Anzalduas Park in Mission, Texas that “sits along the Rio Grande in the shadow of the Anzalduas International Bridge and is frequently patrolled by Border Patrol agents attempting to intercept those crossing into the country illegally.”
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders first announced the border trip on Monday, saying the president would “meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.” (The president previously viewed wall prototypes near the border in San Diego, Calif. in March 2018.)
Responding to a report in The New York Times suggesting Trump did not really want to go on the Thursday trip and saw the visit as a necessary publicity stunt organized by his communications team, White House adviser Kellyanne Conway on Wednesday told reporters Trump was “enthusiastic” and “does want to meet with men and women” protecting the border “to hear what it is they see, what they need.”

It increasingly appeared possible that Trump, who repeatedly has threatened to declare a state of emergency, may use the visit to determine whether to take that extraordinary step.
The National Emergencies Act grants the president broad authority to declare emergencies, and several federal laws then could clear a path for the White House to move ahead with building a wall.
One statute, 33 U.S. Code § 2293 – “Reprogramming during national emergencies,” permits the president to “apply the resources of the Department of the Army’s civil works program, including funds, personnel, and equipment, to construct or assist in the construction, operation, maintenance, and repair of authorized civil works, military construction, and civil defense projects that are essential to the national defense.”
Another law, 10 U.S. Code § 2808 – “Construction authority in the event of a declaration of war or national emergency,” permits the secretary of defense, in a presidentially declared emergency, to use “funds that have been appropriated for military construction” for the purpose of undertaking “military construction projects.”
More than 35 million people watched Trump’s first-ever prime-time address Tuesday night from the Oval Office on the importance of border security, which was followed by a rebuttal from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. Trump did not declare a state of emergency during that address, instead calling for compromise — although he did not budge on his demand for $5.7 billion in funding for a border wall.
Nevertheless, on Wednesday, both sides seemed further than ever from the compromise that Trump demanded in his address. The Democratic-led House approved a bill to fund the Treasury Department, the IRS and other agencies for the next year as part of a strategy to reopen the government on a piecemeal basis, but Senate Republicans dismissed the attempt as a nonstarter without any wall funding. Eight Republicans supported the measure.
Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump
Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time. I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO. I said bye-bye, nothing else works!

Although most top Republicans backed Trump on Wednesday — with House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., calling Trump’s remarks “a firm commitment to reopening the government while also securing our southern border” — there were some signs that not all Republicans were aligned with the White House.
GOP West Virginia Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, a member of the Homeland Security appropriations subcommittee, dismissed Trump’s comments that the shutdown could go on for “years.” Seven Republicans voted in favor of a Democratic bill to end the shutdown last week without funding for a border wall, and more have come out suggesting that they will back individual bills to fund certain agencies in the federal government without wall funding.
But, any defections were few and far between, Republican leaders insisted.
“Quite frankly, I see no wavering,” North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows, who chairs the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said Wednesday.
Some money already has been appropriated to construct additional barriers on the southern border. In March, Congress funded 33 miles of walls and fencing in Texas, and the federal government has started surveying land along the border in the state and announced plans to start construction next month.
The government has laid out plans that would cut across private land in the Rio Grande Valley. Those in the way would include landowners who have lived in the valley for generations, environmental groups and a 19th-century chapel.
Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, meanwhile, announced this week she would visit her state’s southern border with Mexico on Friday.
Grisham, who has described Trump’s idea for a wall as outdated and ineffectual, previously indicated she would reconsider the state’s deployment of National Guard troops to the border by Republican predecessor Susana Martinez. The state sent about 180 troops.

On Wednesday, Steve Forbes the Chairman and CEO of Forbes Media insisted that Forbes Magazine is not going to participate in what he called “blacklists” after his magazine’s Chief Content Officer went off the deep end and threatened companies to not hire people who were key figures in the Trump administration.
“This is reminiscent of what we had in the 1950s during the McCarthy era,” Forbes said on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.” “We’re not going to have blacklists and the like. People can express opinions. Unlike other organizations, we do have diverse opinions at Forbes and we value those diverse opinions and I think that shows strength, not weakness.”
What exactly was on the mind of the former editor-at-large for The Daily Beast want?
“Simple,” he said. “Don’t let the chronic liars cash in on their dishonesty.” As I said when I reported on this Bolshevik Lane, I am certain he will never give examples of the dishonesty he speaks of.
His feedback came after Randall Lane, Forbes’ Chief Content material Officer, wrote in an opinion piece that companies contemplating hiring individuals like Kayleigh McEnany, Kellyanne Conway, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Sean Spicer, and others will likely be blacklisted by the magazine.
Forget the Bolsheviks, this is the Mao revolution all over again.
“Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie,” Lane wrote in the article, published last week. Can you believe someone at Forbes wrote that and then published it to the world?
Forbes, though, defended Lane’s threatening piece claiming it an example of diverse views in his company. I think Mr. Forbes had to defend his company, but I also think he was forced to not go all Apprentice on the knucklehead who wrote such a damaging piece for the company because Forbes Media was sold 6 years ago to Integrated Whale Media Investments, a company that is based in Hong Kong a country which is now a territory of Communist China, ruled by the Communist Chinese Party, of which hates Donald Trump.
Forbes’ comments come after he told Newsmax TV over the weekend that at Forbes, “Unlike Twitter, media giants, and Big Tech companies, we believe in diversity of opinion and he [Bolshevik Lane] says he’s against Cancel Culture. I’m against Cancel Culture. And I think we have to keep in mind, in terms of blacklisting, which happened in the ’50s during the McCarthy era, harm the culture, harm the politics. We don’t want that again.”
Forbes was alluding to the decision made last week by Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and other media platforms to remove President Trump from their services in the wake of the riot that took place at the Capitol building on January 6. The entire world of the Left is blaming Trump for inciting the riot even though they have no evidence of him doing so. The president said to his supporters, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” According to the legal definition of incitement that doesn’t even come close.
I remember when Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who will soon become the Senate Majority Leader threatened two Supreme Court justices publicly, and his words actually sounded like incitement.
WATCH:
But this notion from Forbes doesn’t pass the smell test. What Lane wrote is Cancel Culture. He said that he wanted to cancel former Trump administration officials. And he didn’t stop there. He went on to say that Forbes Magazine will cancel any business that considers hiring a former Trump administration official. When you say that Forbes will call you out if you hire one of those people, that’s canceling them. There’s no other way to understand it. So for Lane to say that he is against Cancel Culture is a Bolshevik lie.
Forbes also said he hopes the Biden inauguration on Jan. 20 will bring in an era of “calm debate.” If Steve Forbes really believes that then I have some wonderful miracle supplements I would love to sell him.
The Left and their boot-licking sycophants in the mainstream news media aren’t happy with merely controlling the White House and both chambers of Congress in less than two weeks. Now they want revenge in a campaign of “get-evenism.”
The lists are being created as they also want to punish anyone who worked in the Trump administration and they want to go after the Trump supporters as well, all 75 million of them.
In what can only be described as the most nefarious example so far, Forbes Chief Content Officer Randall Lane, announced that Forbes Media was “holding those who lied for Trump accountable” in what he called “a truth reckoning.” Didn’t the Soviets do something like this? Just saying.
Lane claimed that the media group was taking this unprecedented action in retaliation to the attack on Capitol Hill late Wednesday afternoon, which ended up causing two deaths, a 14-year Air Force veteran who was protesting and a Capitol Police officer.
Lane said that the president’s “lies-upon-lies, repeated frequently and fervently, provided the kindling, the spark, the gasoline” that led to the attack. Randall Lane is not a serious person and Forbes management should take a closer look at him.
The president did not tell the people at the rally prior to marching to the Capitol building to commit any kind of violence. In fact, in a video that media outlets have scrubbed, the president said, “and now you will march peacefully to the Capitol and let your voices be heard.” The president never once said anything to incite violence. He simply told the truth, that the election was stolen from him. Media people like Lane completely ignored the mountains of evidence of election fraud brought out in the open during state legislature hearings where whistleblowers and data experts exposed a lot of election fraud that they witnessed. Instead, people like Lane continued to say that there was no evidence of election fraud. Lane and his cohorts in media are the liars.
This little Nazi, Lane, then singled out five senior White House officials, whom he describes as “the people paid by the People to inform the People.” Is Lane a well man?
The Chief Content Officer named former White House press secretaries Sean Spicer (currently co-host of Newsmax TV’s “Spicer & Co.”), Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Stephanie Grisham, as well as current White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. This cretin also mentioned Kellyanne Conway, senior counselor to the president.
So what’s on his mind?
“Simple,” he said. “Don’t let the chronic liars cash in on their dishonesty.” I am certain he will never give examples of the dishonesty he speaks of. That’s what you can expect from someone who used to be an editor-at-large for The Daily Beast, emphasis on “Beast” because that leftist rag does nothing but spew lies and Marxist propaganda.
Lane noted that White House spokesmen in the past have received millions in royalties from book deals after they left their post, adding that “Trump’s liars don’t merit that same golden parachute.”
Who the hell is Randall Lane to make a decision like that? Who elected him to be the person who decides who can no longer earn a living? This guy is evil, and the sad thing is, there are many more who will come forward soon, who are far worse.
Acting like Stalin or Castro, Lane threatened business owners, “Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie.”
I think all businesses should assume that Forbes has lost its way. An officer of the company is dictating threatening terms to businesses who did nothing wrong while trying to end the careers of people he deems are liars while half the country would think the opposite.
I am a Trump supporter, and it is mind-boggling to hear radically dangerous rhetoric like this. This is happening because Trump supporters took the president seriously while leftists took him literally. Every policy the president pushed was sober, rational, and successful. You can disagree with America First. You can disagree with renegotiating trade deals so that the American workforce is no longer screwed by Washington politicians who embraced a globalist agenda at their expense. You can disagree that illegal aliens do not belong here while legal immigrants are welcome. You can vehemently disagree, but you can’t say those policies were irrational, and you can’t say that they were not successful for the American people. The economy was the strongest it’s ever been under Trump’s economic policies. Our military is stronger than ever because of the president’s policies. Black and Hispanic unemployment were at record lows because of Trump’s policies. To go all out the way Lane has and the strong language he has used, after experiencing the last four years of success after success makes you wonder if this man is playing with a full deck.
His rant of an article is loaded with hyperbole and outright lies. For a man who claims Trump and those who worked under him are liars, this man should suffer the same prescription he wants to force on them. Randall Lane should never work in media again after publishing threats like this.
Here’s how a leftist will track a Trump lie:
TRUMP: “I paid the guy $100.”
LIBERAL: “Yes, but after taxes he only got $78, therefore Trump lied.”
If you pointed out to Lane that it was President Barack Obama who was awarded Politifact’s “Lie of the Year” he would say that was a lie.
Every Fake News outlet spent over three years lying daily about Russian collusion, and when the Mueller witch hunt investigation ended with the namesake of the investigation concluding that there was no evidence whatsoever that Donald Trump or any member of his campaign colluded with Russia the Randall Lanes of the world never apologized once.
The piece itself comes off like a Toys-in-the-Attic – bat-guano-crazy rant that you have to keep reminding yourself that you’re reading Forbes and not The Daily Beast or Vox or some other ghastly communist critical thinking periodical. The very fact that this was written by the Chief Content Officer of Forbes denies belief in a Benevolent Being. I’m an opinion writer who works as a contractor for sites, and I speak for myself. Lane wrote and published his piece, and because of his position in the company, he is speaking on behalf of Forbes and not as an opinion writer by himself.
How Steve Forbes, Chairman, and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Media, himself a former Republican presidential candidate, who I voted for at least once, could keep this guy on the payroll after degrading his company’s once stellar reputation with the garbage Lane published is beyond understanding. Mr. Forbes is a supporter of Trump endorsing him in 2016 and 2020.
Well, here’s why Lane may have gotten away with his radical rant. Forbes Media was sold 6 years ago to Integrated Whale Media Investments. That comes is based in Hong Kong, and as we all know, Hong Kong became a territory of Communist China, the government of which hates Donald Trump.
On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said that “the entire White House” condemns the mob of President Donald Trump supporters that stormed the Capitol on Wednesday.
How do we know that they were all Trump supporters?
“What we saw yesterday was a group of violent rioters undermining the legitimate First Amendment rights of the many thousands who came to peacefully have their voices heard at our nation’s Capitol. Those who violently besieged our Capitol are the opposite of everything this administration stands for,” McEnany said.
From the White House briefing room, McEnany gave the press statement Thursday evening as calls were coming in for Trump to be removed or for him to resign.
They act as if Trump told the people to riot. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, President Trump called out the National Guard after he tweeted that he wanted calm and peace and he reminded everyone that Republicans are the party of law and order. The president asked them to go home peacefully. But Twitter and Facebook deleted those tweets and those posts because they didn’t want America to know that the president called for peace. They wanted to use the crisis (never let a good crisis go to waste) in order to blame Trump. Why, because it politically helps the Democrats. Trump was blocked from Twitter on Wednesday and his Facebook account was suspended indefinitely.
McEnany said directly that the White House and everyone in it fully condemn the riot.
“I am here to deliver this message on behalf of the entire White House. Let me be clear, the violence we saw yesterday at our nation’s Capitol was appalling, reprehensible, and antithetical to the American way,” McEnany said.
“We condemn it, the president and this administration, in the strongest possible terms. It is unacceptable and those that broke the law should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
McEnany likened the political unrest to anti-police-brutality riots that went on outside the White House in May and again in June. Where were the news media types who are now condemning Donald Trump for what happened at the Capitol building on Wednesday when riots were happening right outside the White House? They insulted Trump by reporting that he was a coward when the Secret Service whisked him off to a secure location. The president had no choice, the Secret Service followed protocol and got him the hell out of there because the animals outside the gates we’re trying to get in to harm him. The press said nothing whatsoever against those rioters. They encouraged it and called it peaceful protesting.
“We grieve for the loss of life, and those injured. And we hold them in our prayers and close to our hearts at this time,” she said.
“We thank our valiant law enforcement officers who are true American heroes.”
McEnany said “the core value of our administration is the idea that all citizens have the right to live in safety peace and freedom. Those who are working in this building are working to ensure an orderly transition of power. Now it is time for America to unite to come together to reject the violence that we have seen. We are one American people, under God.”
McEnany ended the press briefing without taking any questions.
The havoc and chaos followed a speech near the White House where Trump told supporters that the election was stolen from him and from them and that they should march on the Capitol. Well, the election was in fact stolen from him and he has a right to say it. He wanted people to march to let Congress know that they were irritated about not taking the election theft seriously. The president never told anyone to conduct violence of any kind. He didn’t send out a “dog-whistle” which is what CNN and MSNBC types always like to accuse him of doing, but are really just the fruits of their sick and twisted imaginations.
A Trump supporter, a 14-year female Air Force veteran, Ashli Babbitt, was shot to death by a police officer for crouching inside a window frame where the window was already broken out, looking inside the room. She had no weapon. She wasn’t threatening anyone, and there were multiple cops standing right behind her.
Police announced that three other people died during medical emergencies during the mayhem.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who will be the new Senate Majority Leader, demanded that the Cabinet and Vice President Mike Pence invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office before the official January 20 transition to Joe Biden. Now, why are they saying that? Trump didn’t order violence on the Capitol. On the contrary, he called for peace.
In fact, he called for peace, and Twitter and Facebook deleted his posts.
Trump supporters who had nothing to do with violence yesterday are now having to listen to the fake news in mainstream media pundits and anchors and Democrat politicians lecturing us about political violence. Are you kidding me? The left owns political violence. I had one person today ask me when did the Democrats ever attack the Capitol building?
Well, I have some questions of my own from these people.
The Democrats own political violence. And this is nothing recent. The Democrats have normalized political violence, so forgive us if we don’t want to be lectured by the teachers in this case.
Remember during the Freddie Gray riots in Baltimore when the mayor of Baltimore said on television that she instructed her police to give rioters “space to destroy” thing?
So, liberals, please keep your comments and your virtue signaling to yourselves about political violence, because you’re the masters of it, and you have been for decades.
