T. Jones: If That Was A Black Org., They Would Have Never Gotten To The Steps | The ReidOut | MSNBC
Never truer words spoken.
Sadly, this summer alone has proven that this is all too true.
Obviously, something is fishy. Follow the money.
and hate. Most Republicans, it seems, are either “filthy rich” or fear and/or have contempt for or outright hatred of others not like themselves and they’ve been taught willful ignorance — blind faith acceptance of direction from their chosen leader … in this case T rump.
It won’t be hard to link the mob to Guiliani, then Giuliani to Trump.
Attifa sent to make believe that it comes from Trump, it is obvious because since when just 2 men only at the entrance to secure the accesses, no surveillance. We saw inside people talking to each other. It’s gone up from scratch
@môm ,◀BRAINWASHED B.S.
@môm , Lol. The Antifa people aren’t that dumb. They would have covered their faces. Like they usually do. They’re violent, but they’re not stupid like the average Trump supporter who believed that the virus is a Democrat hoax. And even if they did, they would have covered their faces merely because they knew they were there to commit crimes of sedition.The entire world knows this was solely the work of what the Clinton lady called the “basket of deplorables.” The deplorables will deny it anyways.
😂
Amerikkka the country built on hypokkkrisy!
Know your enemy
Rage
I really believe Native Americans agree with you….🤔
what went wrong – answer “trump” “jon jr” “rupert murdoch” “rudy giuliani” I could go on…
OAN, Newsmax, Breitbart…
@Gordon Strong Precisely. While now even retrumplicans are turning on him, let us never forget that they, and the constant drumbeat of radical right media, have been stoking this for years.
@Lucy Fer Exactly, I actually put most of the blame at their door, even more so than the GOP themselves. Without a powerful right-wing media network to justify, excuse and enable Trump and company to their viewers, I doubt things would ever have gotten this bad.
@Gordon Strong You know I took a quick peak at how OAN is handling this… Their headliner today is about a debate on Transgender rights. I got nothing against Transgenders but it says a lot that OAN is now playing it down like nothing horrible of this magnitude happened.
@killerjoke2945 Yeah and Newsmax have gone in another direction and are pretending to be outraged at the rioters, despite formenting the anger and belief in conspiratorial nonsense that fueled this attempted coup themselves!
If that crowd had been non white there would have been hundreds if not thousands of dead people all around the capital building.
Your style is undisputed. It’s yours and only yours.
If you haven’t figured out by now, that Trump has been lying about everything, the entire time, you need to go back to grade school.
BULLSEYE!!!
If you want to know if you can trust someone or not, just ask them this question.
Who won the U.S. 2020 Presidential election?
@SCOTUS says BidenWon 🤣😂🤣😂Got eem!!!
Which answer would be the appropriate and satisfying one for you?
@Paolo Poempel if you have to ask that question, then you cannot be trusted.
Ah..that would be..pass. I am neutral.
@SCOTUS says BidenWon Holy s**t man
another Trumper 😀
This proves BLM’s entire premise. Traitors to America are treated better than peaceful black protestors.
@Progressive Humanist So all the people of color I saw looting stores, throwing objects and spitting on police were all planted by they groups mentioned above. If the individuals in these protests spent time bettering themselves through education and family values they would help reduce the issues they are protesting about.
@Progressive Humanist As always, blaming someone else. From a lifelong liberal.
@Harry Cooper BLM enables the looters by providing cover. They cannot escape blame for their actions.
Yet everyone was justifying the actions of those who broke a ton of laws at those so called peaceful protests while walking away clean. Wiping their hands like it was no biggie to take away from hard working POC who had worked hard for their businesses, asi.
raptured snail – 93% of the protests were peaceful. Of the remaining 7%, 99% of the protesters did not loot or riot.
This was a setup to get those electoral ballots! That’s why they “weren’t prepared”
Good thing quick thinking clerks grabbed them.
Probably, and most probably thought that would mean a redo of the entire election.
Thanks for that. Thats what this whole thing was about.
100% there would have been fatal force used if this was a black movement. Nothing shows the double standards in policing white vs black citizens than the display showed yesterday. Disgusting
So true. Exemplifies the whole reason behind BLM protests, although some call such efforts illegal agitation, premeditated looting, riots, etc, I think that comparison disingenuous ; Wednesday’s unlawful chaos and law enforcements reaction to it only proves the need for societal change.
Bruh, if they were brown or black or asian they would not have even been allowed to gather.
Are you joking ? Race baiting at its finest .
@Bernard Kupilik, Jr Be very careful that you do not become someone’s pet. Your lack of gratitude and faux pas belie your claim.
Blm gathers were ever they want all over the country soooo
ASIAN? Yeah…right!! Not the model Minority!!!🤣
2:04 “Something went wrong …”
That really depends on your perspective. It could have been the plan all along.🤨
They had been planning this for weeks. This is probably why the FBI was offering help. Republican members of congress knew enough to tell their staffs not to come to work that day and a lot of them sent their families away from DC. It was all over the internet; especially the racist sites.
If it was Our Brother’s n Sister’s. The gutters of the streets would have been filled with our blood.
Susan Grimm – What are you talking about? Many vandals were arrested.
@RST UV oh but destroying our capital building because trump lost is just fine? Officers got injured.. but trumps people already Made it clear that they lied when they said blue lives matter.. just a bunch of hypocrites and thugs lol you clowns will eventually learn when you’re all in jail 😂 BLM protested and rioted over people being beaten and murdered by police lol trumps losers destroyed federal property bc they’re babies who can’t accept a loss 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 can’t wait to see them join trump in jail one day
@J Groovy I think I read 14,000 in total. In one day at one protest in Washington DC, 289 were arrested.
Muy bien dicho gabriel
So wish that weren’t true, but things are evolving in that respect, totally due to “the Brothers n sisters’” courageous determination to bring about change for the common good of all “races”. (And as for the tired argument of well, looters and property damage, nothing worse there than I’ve seen soccer and or football, winners and losers after game celebrations.) Violence begets violence, however one wants to believe. It never solves the problems. BLM management should probably consider the historic repercussions of that strategy, but that doesn’t mean giving in. The better question to ask might be, what If both sides give up their finger pointing and get down to Fixing things?
I’m not sure why anyone is surprised.
America is NOTORIOUS for treating it’s black citizens like animals.
Fun fact: Hitler/the Nazis studied our racial (racist) policies and modeled theirs off of them.
Trump: “So we’re going to march to the Capitol, and I’ll be there with you.” 😂
Haven’t seen you posting for a while, welcome back. I hope you have been well.
@Mike Newman
Thank you. 👍 I hope you and yours are well too.
The smartest person I’ve seen makes an appearance. Nice to hear your doing well.
Missed you, David J. You are so much more polite than I, for sure.
@Constituent A
👍
Prediction: Attorney General Merrick Garland will be the 2021 Time Magazine Man of the Year.
Being White Allows You To Storm The Capitol
almost seems like someone in the police was on the terrorists side
Most cops are far-right fascists. So is most military. No hyperbole. That’s what is so dangerous.
Another comment says that it was planned so they could steal the electoral votes, makes sense
Heroes, Sheroes who secured the votes should be honored for their dedication to saving the Democracy!!
Joy are you forgetting that the guy before this Pentagon guy ,i think was fired or kicked out and replaced with Trump loyalist.
