Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass) Tweeted this: "A 17 year old white supremacist domestic terrorist drove across state lines, armed with an AR15. He shot and killed 2 people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity and worth of Black Lives." One lie after the next. No evidence of white supremacy and not a domestic terrorist. Traveling across state lines meaningless, and did not so with a rifle. How is it that the widespread damage and destruction to local businesses in Kenosha did anything to support the "value, dignity and worth of black lives?" And, STOP saying Rittenhouse is white, unless your intent is to start a race war. I was not aware that it is a criminal offense to be white.
Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO) Tweeted this: "The judge. The jury. The defendant. It's white supremacy in action - this system isn't built to hold white supremacists accountable." So now everyone involved is a white supremacist. Which is curious, because the identity of the jurors is unknown. And, it's a safe bet that the jury consisted of both Democrats and Republicans, as Kenosha is fairly evenly split. And she does know that the people who were shot were white, right?
Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) is the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. He Tweeted that it was a "heartbreaking verdict (and) a miscarriage of justice." Imagine that - the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee doing his best to undermine the judicial system. (Remind me again, who is the threat to democracy?) Nadler: this "sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ." Here is the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee pandering to the mob. Someone ought to explain to him that the jury system, while imperfect, is meant to act as a bulwark against the mob.
Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) had this to say: "It is disgusting and disturbing that someone was able to carry a loaded assault rifle into a protest against the unjust killing of Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man." By protest, does he mean violent burning and looting? Rittenhouse testified that he went there to protect businesses. Unjust killing of Jacob Blake? Blake is not dead. Unjust? Both the state and federal investigations found no basis to charge the police involved in his shooting. Unarmed? He had a knife. Black man? Yes, but yet another example of the dangerous attempt by the left to divide the country into black and white.
Here is Joe Biden, the President of the United States, appearing to get it right: "I stand by what the jury has concluded...the jury system works, and we have to abide by it." But shortly after we got this: "While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken." There's Biden, contradicting his own attempt to sound reasonable by saying he is angry. If he is angry at the jury, then he does not accept and abide by the jury's decision. But if he is angry, he should have kept it to himself, instead of pandering to the left-wing mob. After all, he claimed numerous times during his campaign and in his inaugural speech, that he would be a unifier. Not unifying when you are trying to undermine our jury system.
I will not set forth here all the times that the mainstream media have lied about Rittenhouse being a white supremacist. Nor will I rehash all the other lies they have made. Some, before the verdict was handed down, even referred to him as a "murderer," as opposed to an "alleged murderer." So, while many of us are not surprised by the mob mentality of the left-wing media, it is extremely disappointing that elected officials, even though they are Democrats, truly have no respect for our judicial system, nor for our democracy.
