“With their threats, the media created an atmosphere of fear.” ~ Victor Davis Hanson, Liberals ignore the facts, still attack Rittenhouse
Throughout the 2020 Democrat-sponsored “Summer of Riots” and since then, this is precisely what the Democrat Media has created: fear. And when fear is used as a weapon it also begets hatred, which was poured from the orifices of the Democrat Media this year on one particular venue: the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
The prosecutor of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha called the mob of rioters who pursued Rittenhouse “heroes” and the 17-year-old who exercised his right of self-defense in a free nation—the “aggressor.”
Joining the cacophony of crazies from the Left, Joe Biden weighed in, stating after the decision: “The verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included.” (Those were only anti-Americans, Joe… who don’t believe in the rule of law or a right to self-defense. You were just confused.)
Kenosha, Wisconsin was torched last year to protest the police shooting of a man wanted for abuse and assault, who resisted arrest while wielding a knife. Kyle Rittenhouse got in the way of a riot marking that shooting, while he helped defend property in Kenosha, where he worked. He should have never been arrested. He should have never been charged. He should never have been indicted. He should never have been tried. There was never a case.
Three men shot by Rittenhouse in self-defense were all felons, largely sex-offenders and abusers, burglars and prowlers. They were also armed illegally.
Yet after the verdict, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted: “Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum are victims. They should be alive today. The only reason they’re not is because a violent, dangerous man chose to take a gun across state lines and start shooting people. To call this a miscarriage of justice is an understatement.”
De Blasio simply parroted multiple media lies of the prior 12 months. The felons weren’t “victims” because the evidence proved they weren’t. All were aggressors; perpetrators of violence who caused chaos and harassed innocent people. Yet Democrat Media jumped to protect the violent criminals over a young lifeguard with no record who didn’t carry any firearms across state lines. To the media, the criminals were the victims in Kenosha. Be very afraid of “vigilantes” like Kyle.
Joy Reid on MSNBC, post-verdict, stated: “This country was built on the idea… white men had a particular kind of freedom and a particular kind of citizenship that only they have…” She cleaned up some of the vitriolic, racist hatred she had used against Rittenhouse (and all white people in general) before the verdict, slightly, but kept on making her paycheck by promoting it.
Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), full-blown Marxist activist and Black Lives Matter organizer, tweeted: “The judge. The jury. The defendant. It’s white supremacy in action. This system isn’t built to hold white supremacists accountable. It’s why black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free. I’m hurt. I’m angry. I’m heartbroken.” She forgot, “I’m a flaming racist who deeply hates white people, though this time no black people were involved or injured, no black people were accused of anything, or put on trial, or thrown in jail…”
The sheer heat from the fear and hate generated by Democrat Media’s House of Hatred over this one incident could have powered all of Kenosha this winter.
