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.

Well HELL! Let’s go take them down!
Those statues were not considered objects of hate this time last year ! They have been in place for decades , over a century in some cases . ISIS thugs who desecrated and destroyed historical markers throughout the Middle East now have equivalent vandals here in the US . Shameful !
Their no better than ISIS.
I hate snow–TAKE IT DOWN—LOL
NEVER DO I EVER WATCH CNN…I do watch MSNBC on occasion to see what vile lies they are spreading.
Take CNN DOWN!!
They are a terrorist organization and they and their reporters should be treated as such…

They should take down every dam statue in the country the,that sounds fair to me,
As always, helpful with propaganda, but not much for the news.
