Harvard Kennedy School professor Cornell William Brooks responds to the announcement that President Donald Trump will visit Kenosha, Wisconsin, to meet with law enforcement and survey protest damage. The former NAACP president explains to CNN's Wolf Blitzer how the visit turns the city into "a political prop." #CNN #News

Lion of Judah wow you’re worried about racial wars… Because you really are an idiot. And a squatter on land that will never belong to you. The religious wars are going head to head as prophesied in the Bible written by your so-called friends. When Jesus Christ doesn’t show up? What are you Jewish… Muslim… The Catholic faith would die.
Lion of Judah riots… My late husband, whose birthday was last month, were Republicans… Your talking points are feeble. Your constructs are worthless. White supremacists will be deemed terrorists way before, and never will, BLM. Or the radical left. We’d rather throw parades. Gay parades.
Lion of Judah why don’t you build on that… tell y’all’s followers “Your street will be inundated with gay parades.” Terrify your Bible thumpers. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Richard MacLean You are living in your own delusion like so many. I’m so sorry for you. By the way, I like to talk to people that have some common sense. The end is coming!! Get ready.

Of course he is. Chaos is his only path to victory and staying out of jail. Elect a criminal, get more crime. It’s not rocket science.
@ModernMuscleCar lol cute when you try to flip the script. You guys are the biggest snowflakes I’ve ever seen. Melt any time your dear leader speaks…. So scared 😂😂😂
@Mango Mussolini Whats funny about your comment is that I dont even live in your country. My opinion is based on facts and information … yours is based on cnn daily content. Im not influenced by your fake news bullshit. The world sees what cnn watchers dont. Do you auctually believe the polls…you know the same idiots that had hillary leading? The world laughs at democrats and their simple minded supporters. A guy thats done nothing in politics in an almost 50 year career is now the best option fir democrats? Trump may have his faults but compare of 50 years of biden compared to 4…soon to be 8 years of Trump 😆
🚨 BLM protesters charged. So we understand how violent these Democrat supported “peaceful” riots are, many police departments such as Rockford Police are uploading photographs and names and birth dates and charges made. See this attachment for those charged in Portland.

He is evil.
@javiercarlos rodriguez not caring about people? how would you explain the people who lost their healthcare under trump?
@gotigers961 Under Obama, you mean.
@Kevin Lee From theKaiser Family Foundation:” Under the ACA, millions of people have gained health coverage, and the uninsured rate dropped to a historic low in 2016. Coverage gains were particularly large among low-income people living in states that expanded Medicaid.”
7 million people have lost insurance this year, under Trump. He didn’t help them after they lost their jobs due to covid.
You are evil.
@youknow thething ya ok he’s going to fall faster than a boulder from Mt Rushmore. He wants his face up there, really.
Any student of history will know that Hitler and his Nazi party used grievance and fear to gain control of Germany. And we know how that worked out.
Oh god, people using extreme cases like nazism and communism to compare people who aren’t either Stalin or Hitler. This is called a fallacious argument, it is invalid and illogical whatever you try. I suggest all of you to try to make a point without resorting to such idiotic maneuvers. Both republicans and dems use fearmongering and yellow journalism controversies to their advantage and you buy into this bullshit on top of that.
@Gundis Rambo “Shane Lambert And who would be the “Communists“ here? You have one party fueling violence and trying to cheat on the election, that is of course the Trump cult party. The other side wants to keep up democracy. And you want to compare them to some of the worst socialist dictators the world has ever seen? You are as delusional as #45”
The leadership of both parties has been in bed with China for a number of decades now, and that is why the establishment hates trump.
@Dementia Joe and the Hoe This is, perhaps, the dumbest post I have ever read on the internet.
@RAP which political party talks about death and darkness and hatred all the time? Which political party talks about the future in bright words? Look at the RNC versus the DNC to see which one was the downer. People want to look at the best in a situation and see the glass half-full. DNC shows the half empty all the time. And DNC didn’t even bring up the riots, and how they intended to help America with these riots, that’s how unimportant the 500 million dollars of property damage and 14000 arrested citizens and thousands of harmed or killed Democrat citizens from these riots were to them.

He had the same answer 2 days ago. I bet he never addresses it.
The guy who never waits for facts when a black or latino guy does something suddenly wants to wait for an investigation even after the guy has already been arrested and charged with two felonies, and is also on fucking video killing people. What is he waiting for?
More backgroundnso that he can spin it better. God, I really do hate this guy.
Imagine, your parents call you Cornell and you go to Harvard…

tony collinsworth – no one sees it because Trump isn’t very likeable.
Dems need to like their leader, and republicans need to respect him.
Then you turn out to be just another run of the mill racebaiting Al Sharpton wannabe.
Diversity hire 😃🤣🤣🤣🤣
“48 hours max…”
The aspect or nature of the incident would be changed by then through his filter. We all can anticipate what this president thinks.
No immediate reaction…

Making bad situations worse is what Donnie excels at.
The on guy Avanica , Granted, BLM caused it ; Democrats condoned it, by SILENCE on the issue.
@Erastus Erazade
Proof the Democrats condone this violence. ⛔ Kamala has promised that the riots will NEVER stop. Further proof of democrat support of violence. 30 second video.

Further proof Democrats encouraged this violence or pretend it doesn’t exist.

⏰ Peaceful protests? That’s what Democrat Mayors are calling it until protesters show up on their own Street. Chicago mayor banned protesting on her street only and she has six cops outside of her house but it is allowed everywhere else. Portland mayor called the police when they showed up on his street and now has moved. But it’s okay everywhere else. When these impotent Democrat Mayors recognize that these are not peaceful and contact Trump he will send federal agents and we will have peace. Until then we hope our loyal Patriots show up at every BLM protest to make sure they remain peaceful so no more citizens and property is damaged.
Trump’s loving every minute of it! The old gas bag.
It isn’t what color your skin is. Racist are born Democrats, always has been!!!
WE’RE KEEPING AMERICA MINUS LEFTIST/ANTIFA/BLM!!!
@Dale Rhode Hard Luck Cowboy _Mama told you to stop eating out of the kitty litter box or the delusions won’t stop. Besides, you’re scaring the cat & you’ll spoil your dinner. Now put your pants on, put the lampshade back on your head, come in the house & get back in your cage like a good girl. We checked, and Joe & Kamala aren’t hiding under your bed awaiting the veil of darkness. Nitey night._
@dale rhode hard luck cowboy did you just call every democrat racist? Isn’t that discriminative?
@Caleb Martinson Like Trump’s entire traveling circus and dufus parade, the Belligerent Buckaroo is a racist and a bigot himself, for what is labelling an entire group with a singular insult that inaccurately describes them anything else BUT bigotry? One thing that can be counted on from the Trump worshippers, is that they describe themselves in the insults they hurl. Namaste.

This Harvard professor is “fiery but mostly peaceful.”
@Miss Sissy Sadly, these thugs and brainwashed zombies only understand violence. You can’t give them even an inch. Just look at what’s happening in Portland; all because they were allowed to do what they’re doing by weak leftist politicians.
@Miss Sissy Hope she wins!
@El Chingon this is why there are five million new gun owners in this country. Everybody needs to keep their city and citizens safe. Obviously we let the police and federal agents step in. But when they are not there then ordinary citizens need to protect their own families and friends and community. Exactly like what happened in Ohio. The numbers against the agitators have to be huge to get them to back off. Agitators can come both left-wing and right-wing. We don’t know where they’re coming from but we need to control the harm that they do to the cities. BLM protests can continue if they are peaceful but there’s nothing stopping another protest right beside it on any other matter. BLM is not the only organization that has the right to protest peacefully.
@Miss Sissy Absolutely. I’ve been staying with family since the riots started, to be able to protect them if need be. I can assure you that if any of these indoctrinated zombies get close to my family they will regret it, or worse, their families will regret it for them.
@El Chingon I agree everybody needs to have weapons in their home.

PRIVILEGE: Wealthy Manhattan woman arrested by police for rioting, causing over $100,000 in damage | The Post Millennial
https://thepostmillennial.com/privilege-wealthy-manhattan-woman-arrested-police-rioting-causing-100k-damage
Exactly. There is nothing that Trump can do that is reassuring. He is waging war on domestic protesters today and whining about an election that he wants to postpone, insulting experts who are doing their jobs, persecuting heroes who tell the truth under oath, and pardons criminals who subvert the course of justice and who lie under oath. Trump’s appointee for Postmaster General is taking steps to prevent adequate service for a postal vote surge. The utterly staggering disregard for truth is evidence of a deeply corrosive process leading to the dissolution of conditions necessary for healthy functioning of a democracy. But wait for it: Trump could start a war with China to misdirect our attention in the face of a looming electoral defeat. However, while Trump is a horrible authoritarian and may suffer from fronto-temporal degeneration, he is not the fundamental problem. He is, as Obama told us, a symptom of a more profound problem, the decline of American Empire. Read this:

All I can say about your comment is WOW!! Tell the truth!
@Herbert Hayes Thanks. Please download my essay and let me know what you think. Have a great day.
The so called “pres-dont” MAKES EVERYTHING WORSE!! Everything will continue to get worse, until he is removed or dies! This will not be over until he is in prison OR IN THE CEMETERY!!
Geez you’re sad, wishing that on another person, pretty sick really.
You really believe that voting will remove this person? I think that he would refuse to acknowledge the loss, declare it bogus, and might even declare a state of national emergency and restricting citizen mobility with curfews-all with the full support of his Republican MAGAS and the national guard.

I generally trust academics to know what’s going on outside of their ivory towers. 🙄
The media and their pandits and their deceits are the true reason for the division and mess in the DEM run cities.
Damn right. The real problem is yellow journalism which is lowering people’s education standards so we buy into fake controversies more easily. The method proved to be effective so we line their pockets with bullshit grade activism and irrational behaviors. No noble cause would be used for monetization in opposition to what is done nowadays. It doesn’t matter if you are supporting BLM, anti-BLM etc, our opinions never mattered and we have never solved any pending issues like this in the previous years. We never tried to have a legit consensus about what’s actually important. People should rather protest for Julian Assange than fucking whatever for all I know. We could side with a hero who proved himself by showing us what we never knew before and risking his own life for truth and justice brought to everyone’s attention, but we decided to praise pseudo martyrs and victims instead with the result of destruction, cynicism, building futures upon the ashes of our nightmares! Common folks, rise up and start dreaming again!
