In response to the Rittenhouse verdict, California’s Governor Gavin Newsom stated as follows: “America today: you can break the law, carry around weapons built for a military, shoot and kill people, and get away with it. That’s the message we’ve just sent to armed vigilantes across the country.”
Are you aware, Mr. Newsom, that those “vigilantes” are only there because for 18 months those motivated by your ideological bias have been marching through the streets of America armed with pepper spray, baseball bats, knives and, yes, military style weapons, causing several deaths and creating over two billion dollars in damage not only to bastions of “White privilege” such as Walmarts, but to the properties and businesses of the very people you purport to represent? And are you aware, Mr. Newsom, that the police oftentimes simply stand by and watch so as to avoid any violent confrontation with persons of Color which will automatically be condemned, again by those of your mind-set, as but further examples of White Supremacy? As the lawlessness apparent throughout your state illustrates, disrespect for the Rule of Law is an inevitable result of your sentimental “progressivism,” yet when “vigilantes” such as Rittenhouse show up to defend the property of a used car dealer from rioters which the police had been unable or unwilling to defend the previous night, you hypocritically accuse them of having no respect for the Law.
Grossly simplistic, manifestly hypocritical interpretations of current events are a daily feature of the mainstream news. MSNBC host Tiffany Cross, a Black woman, called Kyle Rittenhouse a “little murderous White supremacist.” No one he assaulted was Black and the three White men he fired upon were repeat criminals who clearly sought to do him harm. Moreover his documented support for the police and the Rule of Law only make him a racist to simpletons who see respect for the Law as a White eccentricity! That, quite frankly, is an opinion whose idiocy any rational person could expose in a mere 30 seconds!
Another Black individual, Elie Mystal of The Nation, declared the judge in the Rittenhouse trial to be a biased a-hole perfectly comfortable tolerating “white violence.” Apparently Mystal is unfamiliar with the statistics posted by Larry Elder illustrating the inordinately high level of criminal violence committed by Blacks. What is remarkable, actually, is that White cops do not kill significantly more Blacks in the performance of their job. What is remarkable is the Left’s ludicrous tendency to simply ignore facts which do not suit its narrative.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid, a Black woman, was embroiled in controversy in 2018 due to a number of what were considered homophobic tweets discovered in her past. Outrage over her comments was in part warranted but also a result of the non-binary community’s never-ending search for examples of its oppression. Most troubling, however, was her insistence that she had been hacked, that the comments, which went on for years, were not hers. But while the evidence would suggest she is a brazen liar, she remains on MSNBC, frequently engaging in anti-White tirades brimming with racial hatred. Her recent Tik Tok mockery of Kyle Rittenhouse and indeed of all White men was truly repulsive. Ironically, of course, she is probably still employed at MSNBC because its executives find themselves paralyzed by the very narrative they have been fomenting for years ….i.e., that any Black Female fired by her White Male bosses is clearly the victim of Racist, Patriarchal oppression!
Moral/Intellectual Integrity be damned! Identity is now all that counts. Bravo “progressivism”!
