You can always count on the left to do one thing after a major tragedy — use the event for political gain. In the aftermath of the Charlottesville riots, not much has changed.
If there was gun violence, you could be certain that the left would have used the violence to push gun control. That’s what they do after every mass shooting. Before they have the chance to mourn the dead or know the facts, they start drafting their political points and pushing legislation.
Luckily, there was no gun violence in Charlottesville. Instead, an attacker used a car. The method is growing at a worrisome rate across Europe and is just as repugnant — but the political opportunity isn’t clear from a Democrat point of view. It’s not like you can outlaw cars.
So, instead, they’re shifting focus to somethings else entirely — Confederate monuments. They want them gone because some Unite the Right rioters were carrying Confederate flags.
And, of course, CNN is happy to help with the left’s opportunism.
See how they lent a hand on the next page:
Cnn needs to go.
CNN Communist News Network, working against America.
Destroying our country
The FCC must shutdown CNN and MSNBC before more people lose their lives.
CNN instigating hate, violence, racism and negativity once again. smh
CNN fall off the face of the earth. You and your f**e news.
Kick CNN off the air for good. Put broadcasters in jail.
Statue of of Barack Obama take it down ! Traitor !
Statue of Bill Clinton take it down ! Impeached rapist !
Our monuments should go into a historical museum .
ummm,….CNN was created by Ted Turner, who made a movie about Gettysburg and General Robert E. Lee. Should CNN burn itself down for being “white supremacist”?? Wake up!!! It’s a media scam!
All this mess about there being a huge threat from the KKK is media hype. The KKK is NOT any bigger now than they were under Obama. As Trump said, it’s both sides . The Lying , F**e Media is pumping up Charlottesville and it makes people fearful and, frankly, cowardly and ignorant, and hell breaks loose when the Soros-funded groups show up at a rally that, supposedly is to “Unite the Right.” What? Lots of black, white, yellow and brown people already united to vote for Trump.
The “Unite the Right” group that showed up doesn’t represent all the right and Trump voters and the AntiFa and BLM don’t represent all the political left and blacks and Hillary voter
We have big problems in this country that are made much worse by joblessness. Trump’s working on that. Give him a chance, chumps. We arfe being played…. flim-flammed, bamboozled and hoodwinked by the Lying Media.
Woke.
Boycott CNN!
