I can’t believe they even tried it. On Saturday morning Minnesota officials came out with an audacious and absurd explanation for the looting and arson that struck Minneapolis this week. Apparently it was white supremacists from out of state who pretended to be actual protestors in an attempt to discredit the protest. The evidence? A vague claim and a lie. It turns out that most of those arrested were actually Minnesota residents.
The hypocritical mental gymnastics from the liberal media in the past 72 hours were amazing enough to earn a perfect 10 from the stingiest East German judge. First, we watched tens of thousands of people hold mass gatherings across the country, which just last week we were told would kill everyone, and the media suddenly didn’t care. It’s like the Chinese virus just went away by magic.
Next we were informed that the looting and arson we witnessed from the protesters was simply the language of the oppressed and how could we even comment about it when another black man was killed by the police. Celebrities posted bail for the heroes of Minneapolis. And yes, the brutal killing of George Floyd is an occasion for outrage.
Now, and this is subject to change by the time this paragraph is over, these horrible acts of looting and arson were mainly done by Right-wing white supremacist interlopers. That’s right. Some shadowy organization of neo-Nazis apparently sent false flag psyop operations all over the country to foment a race war. Or something.
The good news for the racists is that famous Hollywood celebrities bailed them out of jail apparently. It is absolutely the most wrongheaded, astounding, ridiculous lie the media has latched onto during the Trump administration. And that’s a hell of a competitive category.
The tweets from pundits at CNN, MSNBC, and The Washington Post came flooding in. Why hadn’t Attorney General William Barr mentioned the white supremacists they insist are the real people to blame here? He didn’t do it because it’s a flaming garbage pile of lies. President Trump made clear exactly who the outside agitators are. It’s Antifa. It’s obviously Antifa, it has been Antifa for over two decades.
So why would Democrats and their lackeys in the big time press not want to say it’s Antifa? Because for years they have insisted that Antifa is a basically harmless group that conservatives have turned into a boogeyman. Remember when Chris Cuomo compared them to Allied forces storming Normandy?
No. Some other narrative had to be established. Somehow, some way, this had to be the fault of racist Trump supporters, because everything is the fault of racist Trump supporters. But how? Easy. Just lie about most of the people arrested being from out of state and claim some had ties to white supremacist groups. Is it an obvious lie that a three-year-old could see through? Yeah.
But maybe, just maybe if enough chattering nincompoops parrot the absurd claim in their Trump obsessed outlets that once were the home of competent journalists, the lie might stick. No. There are limits. Laying the destruction and crime, justified or not, that have been associated these protests on the feet of some KKK conspiracy is so outlandishly absurd that it will not, cannot, stand.
If white supremacists, not progressive rioters were responsible for the chaos on the last few days in America and around the country, let’s see the evidence now. All of it. It’s a huge claim, that doesn’t just strain credulity, it frappes it. It is very hard to believe that those in the news media who stood up to this nonsense were not aware that at best they were wildly exaggerating the role these mysterious Nazis were playing.
The blatant lying by news outlets is getting dangerous. During the coronavirus it helped spur panic that devastated countless lives. Now that they have decided the lockdown is over and massive gatherings are all of a sudden fine. They are pretending that black people looting flat screens on video have no agency, and white supremacists made them do it. It has to stop.
I call on every journalist who amplified this insanity to put up or shut up. Prove that most of the criminal actions were committed by white supremacists. For once hold yourself accountable to the people you claim to serve with your work. And do it now.
This is the talking point from democrat officials in a number of cities including the chief of police in Houston Texas.

Waiting for AP or CNN to fact check this narrative ...
Is it because we somehow believe they are being tied to us? I feel no connection with those people.
I believe white supremacists and extremists feel much more at home with the AntiFa types than they do with us.
Just as nonsensical gaslighting as the “birther” smear on anyone who knows that Kenyans from Indonesia are not naturally Americans.
Total, laughable BS that whites are behind this black rioting. Admit leftist young whites think they should join in, like their applauding black music shows they are not racists.
But how exactly do the KKK types tell blacks to loot and burn a store and the blacks say “Yes, we will do that, sir.” C’mon.

But why not, it works every time it's tried...
No one is defending white supremacists. People are disputing that white supremacist are even present at the scene.
This is a coordinated effort by militant leftist white activists in their politics are germane to the discussion.
It's virtue signalling to the next level: "Yeah, bro, we be down wif da struggle!"
Easy way to find out EXACTLY who is leading the riots: Switch off the cellular phone networks in the demonstration areas. Then the leaders really stand out for observation, as they have to relay their orders manually.
Simple sniper ops.
I first bristled but then I saw the good in your post.
The leftists’ strategy may include getting all of us to be so fair to the white supremacists that we look like we’re part of them, which we are not and have never been.
Our side could say to Biden’s handlers: Have Biden make a lot of support statements on the side of those heroic black people in their struggle against the white racists who killed Floyd. And every word he says sinks him with the white voters.
The cheap, stupid line in Sympathy For The Devil has Mick Jagger ask who killed Kennedy when it was you and me.——
No it wasn’t. We mourned that death. The killers were happy, not us. American society did not “kill” him by its faults. BS.
Are militant white activists different than (from?) White supremacists or extremists?
Really? This author surely lacks imagination.I,for one,would have been stunned if they *didn't* try it.
After all:
One hates blacks and the other hates whites.
The target of violence from the white communists his other white people.
The white Communists at these riots art attacking any people of color.
So where is the white supremacy in their word and deed?
Nothing new here. It’s always been the case when dealing with stunted misfits and losers. I once worked with a black guy who grew up in a housing project but had a solid family and went on to become a successful professional. He told me that when he was a kid, the rabble-rousing “community leaders” would tell the denizens of the projects that the place was a litter-strewn rat-hole because white people came by late at night and dumped their trash there. Seriously.
In this case, there are several enemies at work. Antifa is one. They are white young adults for the most part. They get funded by Democrats. They are not white supremacists. BLM is another enemy. You know what they look like. They get funded by Democrats.
Make no doubt about it, there is another enemy at hand. It's the cops. They have big time problems. They have failed. A week ago they were enforcing unconstitutional edicts for Democrat governors. They were arresting business owners for simply trying to save their businesses from intentional decisions to tank the economy to defeat Trump. Just following orders. This week they have failed to protect innocent citizens and their businesses.
Another real enemy here is progressives and socialists disguised as Democrats. Do not think they are same Democrats we knew 40 and 50 years ago, where we could have policy differences and we didn't think they intentionally wanted to 'transform America'. Lastly, there are the elected and appointed officials that all of the former groups have put into office. All of these groups hate America or have a fundamental misunderstanding what civil rights all Americans should have 100% of the time. There are no exception clauses in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights - except when you fall down being arrested, except when there is a flu ... They do not know what it is to be an American. They lost that a long time ago. All of these people are the enemy 100% of the time. Treat them as such in all your interactions.
Sho nuff
To some of them, to be white is to be a supremacist.
