Yes, a WaPo narrative. And it's "a top google result".
Trump's crime is "refused to criticize people involved in recent deadly clashes in Portland". I assume he will also be charged with not jumping the gun on Rittenhouse too? Basically, support the opposition narrative or else.
Same thing happened with Charlottesville, Trump daring to suggest there where leftist culprits too. I don't see Biden criticizing the rioters and their enablers too harshly - must be that same brand of hypocrisy that allowed Biden to suddenly not "believe women" when an accusation was aimed at himself.
A quote from another WaPo article: "the president’s backers are rallying to defend businesses and fight back against Black Lives Matter"
so, "defend businesses" and "fight back" show the differing context. Trump is fanning the flames, but the fires where started by emboldened rioters. You think people will sit back as this stuff happens and not be divided? I'm not sure I even blame Trump too much - Dems engage in hyperbolic, divisive rhetoric just as much to vilify Trump and his supporters.
I realize that my comment is now lacking context because koolba's is flagged, so you might think I'm trying to argue about the protests. This is not the case.
Koolba said, paraphrasing from memory, "only the left is violent, and only left-wing leaders refuse to criticize that".
So I posted a news source talking about right-wing violent protest and a right-wing leader refusing to criticize it.
I'm carefully avoiding arguing about the issues here, so I can talk to koolba about their skewed perception of the behavior of the sides.
I disagree with Koolbas claim, I simply disagree that a google result yielding a biased source is proof of anything. I didn't address Koolba since I think the statement so obviously hyperbolic that I didn't believe it was made in good faith.
The context of criticizing violence is also unclear, as there is a difference between violence, and counter-violence.
Where in anything you linked to do does it indicate that there are conservatives rioting, looting, or burning buildings?
There have been many peaceful assemblies of conservative protesters, some legally bearing arms, which interestingly have been condemned by the Democrats. But there are no mass mobs destroying property and causing mayhem. There’s no conservatives defending such behavior because it does not exist.
It’s unique to the left. Minneapolis, Kenosha, Oakland, you name it. It’s left wing mobs that destroyed those cities.
