cnn's Cuomo Justifies Antifa Violence Again: 'True' to a 'Good Cause'

CNN primetime host Chris Cuomo took on President Trump during his Monday evening show, over the President doubling down on his Charlottesville comments and condemning Democrats’ support of late-term abortion. Cuomo expressed shock that Trump would compare abortion to murder, and adamantly defended the leftist anarchist group Antifa, saying they couldn’t be compared to neo-Nazis and were working for a "good cause."

Cuomo spent a good deal of Cuomo Prime Time arguing with Trump supporter Steve Cortes that Antifa was committed to a good cause and were morally superior to neo-Nazis. “You make a moral equivalent between those two actions, you’re making a mistake in America. The President did that!” Cuomo gushed. Cortes argued both groups were morally reprehensible. Yet Cuomo kept defending them:

“One of the groups is created to kill people they don't like. The other group and Black Lives Matter has hanger-ons and aberrant actors within their ranks but the groups were not created to destroy parts of humanity,” he gushed. Cortes reminded Cuomo that these people wear masks to conceal their identity so they can commit violence.

OFFS! So krissy, their violence is only being used for good I guess. Did anyone elicit a response from THE viewer that saw this crap?

I understand that we are dealing with a controlled propaganda Mainstream-Media that would have made Goebbels blush.

Nevertheless I can’t believe that the Charlottesville Kabuki Theater event is still being used as an anti-Trump talking point, especially by Joe Biden. Is there really no way to get the truth of what happened that day out? Governor McAuliffe orchestrated the clashes, forcing the protestors (many of whom were paid agitators) into the same area and ordering the police to stand-down. Furthermore Trump’s comments on the events were reasonable and well measured.

Note how the media is talking about Antifa again?
This is a message.... Go after the Deep State actors and Clinton, there will be riots in the streets. The left has a couple of million useful idiots they can put between themselves and justice.

Amazing how Democrats save campaign money and instead of paying them from the receipts they have CNN pay them.

We never got an explanation of 1) why LEO was given a stand down 2) why the van was left sitting in that narrow street when both fire and police stations were close by 3) who directed both groups to the street 4) why the prior night’s ‘protest’ was permitted after being denied.

I really want to know why the van wasn’t at least ticketed if not in pcs of being towed when the two groups came together.

They’re not fooling anyone. Claiming the moral right to violence against Nazis, then calling everyone who disagrees with you a Nazi, is a call to violence against society at large, and against the constitutional right to free opinion.

Antifa is a straight-up terrorist group. Its leaders should be put in Gitmo, and its regular members jailed for long terms as well.

> Is there really no way to get the truth of what happened that day out?

The best bet may be through the Covington lawsuits. Same bad actors, same procedure.

[Michael.SF.]

So the ends justify the means, to Cuomotose.

[mad_as_he$$]

Cuomo is an idiot and proves it once again. Be careful what you ask for there sonny. Many people are itching to get a piece of Antifa. It won’t be pretty.

People working for a good cause don’t have masks and dark clothing.

So much talk about a new “Civil War” but I always have trouble imagining how and where the fighting will start. One possible scenario though is at Antifa rallies, or at right wing rallies where Antifa is “counter-protesting”. I can see a situation where groups follow each other’s social media then plan to violently confront the other at their events. Won’t take too long after that starts (and it has already started to some extent) before groups start scheduling events for the sole purpose of enticing the other side to show. Then rocks to clubs to knives to guns to taking out each group’s leaders and allies in between rallies.

Fredo. Always weak and stupid

[elcid1970]

Every Cuomo has been an arrogant liberal jerk; from Pope Mario the Pious, to Andrew Il Duce, to Chrissy Antifa.

Worthlessness spanning the generations.

Hey Guv!

WHO gets to define "a good cause" worthy of violence??

Ft. Sumter?

[mindburglar]

If the whole Cuomo family died in a horrible pasta accident, nobody would give a shit and the Tappan Zee bridge would be the Tappan Zee bridge.

Right wing rallies? No left wing rallies? 👹🙀

On David Horowitz's "Front Page" site there's a half-hour video concerning the Evergreen State College turmoil of a couple of years ago. It's frightening to think what society would be like if students like that ever came to political power; they are like Ilhan Omar on steroids. You can't help but think that these students believe that white people should be exterminated.

The students march around with clenched fists, chant obscenities, shout down speakers and even grab microphones away from them, tell white people that they can't sit in chairs or - alternately - that they can't stand up, that white people can't hold their arms in a certain way, that being nice is the worst form of racism, and on and on. NOTHING you do will ever satisfy them; meeting their demands will lead to more demands, and then to contradictory demands, then impossible demands. They are insane and dangerous, and they get a complete pass from the media.

Antifa was committed to a good cause and were morally superior to neo-Nazis. .................. Yeah, like the ROT Front was to the Nahzees?

Infidels, deplorables, proletariat - fair game for murdering totalitarians. Witness history. BE PREPARED “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

There was a post the other day tying dogs to racists. So, I guess if you have a min pin you’re racis’. Or something.
