After four months of
looting, arson, window breaking, vandalism, intimidation, physical assaults,
stabbings and shootings by Black Lives Matter and antifa, the first thing on
the media’s mind is … getting Trump to condemn “white supremacists”!
It would be as if, on the morning after Pearl
Harbor, the League of Nations demanded that FDR condemn American aggression in
the Pacific.
Why on earth was Trump being badgered by both
debate moderator Chris Wallace and Democratic nominee Joe Biden to denounce
“white supremacy”? And why wasn’t Biden ever asked to condemn the nonstop
violence by antifa that actually has been consuming the country for more than
100 nights now?
Wallace to Trump: “Are you willing tonight to
condemn white supremacists and militia groups?”
Trump (perfectly accurately): “Sure. I’m
willing to do that. But I would say almost everything I’m seeing is coming from
the left wing, not the right wing.”
The media’s position on the murderous BLM and
antifa riots has gone from What riots? They’re peaceful protests! to The
rioters are white supremacist Trump supporters!
Who thinks white supremacists are a major
force in America? There haven’t been any two people in 50 years who’ve gotten
together and said, “Aren’t whites way better? Shouldn’t we rule over other
people?”
“White supremacy” is a bogus concept invented
on college campuses. There are white men who do horrible things, just as there
are Asian men and black men who do horrible things. But they don’t represent
any kind of kind of organized movement.
You know what’s an organized movement? Antifa
— Rose City Antifa, Antifa Seven Hills, Antifa Sacramento, Atlanta
“Antifascists” and so on. They’re organized well enough that hundreds,
sometimes thousands, of antifa members always know exactly when and where to
show up, and what weapons to bring. Then they turn around and celebrate the
destruction they’ve wrought (unpunished by Democratic mayors and liberal
district attorneys).
But in Chris Wallace’s demon-haunted
imagination, out beyond the coastal cities, there’s a scary world of pickup
trucks being driven by men with long-barreled guns trying to re-enact “Roots.”
(And they shop at Walmart!)
When Trump tried to bring up Pearl Harbor —
i.e., the actual violence, as opposed to liberal imaginary violence — Wallace
cited Kenosha.
REMINDER: After two nights of looting and
arson by “peaceful protesters” in Kenosha in response to the police shooting of
a knife-wielding black man resisting arrest, a group of men calling themselves
“Armed Citizens to Protect Our Lives and Property” did just that. One of the
men, Kyle Rittenhouse, shot three antifa as they were attacking him, killing
two, in a clear case of self-defense.
That’s Wallace’s big example of right-wing
violence: an armed citizen defending himself. The left wants antifa to rule our
cities, with no pushback from uppity Americans.
Trump’s more addled debate partner, Joe
Biden, threw in the Proud Boys — without correction by Wallace, whose entire
career at Fox has been an audition tape for NBC.
Burning down police precincts, knocking
statues off their pedestals, smashing windows, looting and vandalizing stores,
stopping cars and demanding the drivers pledge allegiance to BLM, banging drums
outside of politicians houses late into the night — was it the Proud Boys doing
any of that?
Why are we talking about the Proud Boys at
all? How about asking the Sierra Club to renounce violence?
Forget about the last 100 days of mind-boggling
left-wing violence, let’s open it up to all of history! What is the Proud Boys’
big crime? Is there a single instance of the Proud Boy staging an unprovoked
attack on anyone — ever?
The absolute worst thing you could say about
the Proud Boys is: Too macho! They fight back. Fine, join the Democratic Party
if testosterone isn’t your thing.
The nation’s leading anti-American and
anti-Christian hate group, the Southern Poverty Law Center, calls them “white
supremacists,” meaning, “anyone we don’t like and can’t refute.” You know who
else this hate outfit hates? Dennis Prager. The Alliance for Catholic
Tradition. Christian Ministries. The National Prayer Network.
The claim is especially delusional in the
case of the Proud Boys, who have black members, Asian members and Latino
members. The Los Angeles branch of the Proud Boys is about half Mexican. One of
the founders is married to a black woman, with whom he has a biracial child.
The entire point of the Proud Boys is for men
to be masculine and defend the innocent, something like the Guardian Angels. It
has nothing whatsoever to do with “white supremacy.” But, again, liberals call
anyone they don’t like and can’t refute “white supremacists.”
You know why the media and Democrats hate the
Proud Boys? Because they are America’s last line of defense against the left’s
fascistic antifa storm troopers. Often, they are the only ones protecting us
when the police are outnumbered or have been ordered to stand down by
Democratic mayors and police chiefs.
I believe that’s what Trump was trying to
convey with his typically garbled: “Proud
Boys, stand back and stand by, but I’ll tell you what … somebody’s got to
do something about antifa and the left because this is not a right-wing
problem.” (If I’m wrong, then two men with Secret Service protection are
throwing the rest of us to the wolves and I’m sitting this election out.)
The Proud Boys should sue Biden and Wallace
for defamation.
The universities and media have successfully
turned “white supremacist” into the worst thing any human can be — worse than
“murderer,” “drug dealer” or “child molester.” To falsely accuse an
organization of being “white supremacist” ought to be considered defamation per
se. If you want to destroy something, is there a better way to do it than
labeling it “white supremacist”?
In Portland, there have been mind-bogglingly
destructive antifa riots every night for more than 100 days now. Last weekend,
the Proud Boys staged a rally in Portland — and the lunatic governor of Oregon
finally declared a “state of emergency.” (It was a lovely gathering with no
arson or looting.)
This is the position of the media and the
Democratic Party: Antifa must be allowed to run riot without interference from
anyone. We’ve liberated antifa from district attorneys and mayors and now we’ll
liberate them from individual Americans. Therefore, anyone who defends the
innocent from psychotic left-wing violence will be cursed as a “white
supremacist.”
