Karen Bass: The Men Killed by Rittenhouse Akin to Civil Rights Workers
Breitbart ^ | 11/14/2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 11/14/2021 8:17:13 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Representative Karen Bass (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the two white men killed by Kyle Rittenhouse during a protest were like white Civil Rights activists killed in the 1960s.

When asked about the trial on the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, Bass said, “I think that particular trial is off to a bad start just like the trial of Rittenhouse is off to a bad start as well. A year ago, we were talking about racial reckoning, and it seemed to be an enlightened period, and now we’ve had major setbacks. I think that people understand that you can use race politically. It charges people up. It’s highly emotional issue, and I think it’s just really sad. That trial, the Arbery trial, is a trial of a lynching. That is exactly what happened in that case and look at Rittenhouse. Both of those trials were based in race. I’m concerned about the outcome for both of them.”

A white skinhead who insulted white people by calling them a derogatory term for black people.

Gee, convicted felons/rioters being praised as equal to 1950’s civil rights folks who believed in non-violence. That is really a stretch, at least for me.

Thugs and criminals, but then again thugs and criminals are a protected class to Democrats.

In the current setting, I agree.

When people use that term though, they are trying to equate
these idiots to the Martin Luther King days.

There’s a whole lot of difference.

There was some gamesmanship going on then too, but nothing
compared to what is taking place now with the folks you
mention.

The race-hustlers in the media want this to be a racial issue, even though the victims were all white. They continue to scream RACE.

The networks want as much looting, maiming, arson, and murder in the streets as possible, after Mr. Rittenhouse is acquitted.

Ahmaud Arbery SHOULD NOT HAVE tried to wrestle away the shotgun, no?

This is the same crap that Merrick Garland spouted in his confirmation hearings: BLM rioters are just good old civil rights activists.
