It wasn’t all that long ago that Democrats were defending and bailing out rioters and looters during the BLM race riots. Or that In Defense of Looting was making the rounds of bookstores.
They’ve tamped it down a bit since transitioning to abortion, but looting rights is still on the agenda.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid likened Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) to segregationists after his warning to potential looters in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
For the much of the past week, DeSantis has been dealing with the storm’s impact as the death toll continues to rise and Florida faces an astonishing level of property damage. On Friday, DeSantis held a press conference where he spoke about efforts to maintain law and order, and he warned people not to rob homes that were damaged or abandoned in Ian’s wake.
“Don’t even think about looting. Don’t even think about taking advantage of people in this vulnerable situation,” DeSantis said. “You can have people bringing boats into some of these islands and trying to ransack people’s homes. I can tell you, in the state of Florida, you never know what may be lurking behind somebody’s home. And I would not want to chance that if I were you, given that we’re a Second Amendment state.”
Reid noticed DeSantis’ remarks in a video CBS posted to Twitter, and the ReidOut host decided to compare that warning of gun-toting Floridians to the words of infamous segregationist Walter E. Headley.
This entire convoluted argument depends on taking DeSantis out of context and then claiming that it’s racist because somebody else once said it.

Spot the racist:
DeSantis: “Looters may be shot”.
Reid: “Oh, you hate black people do you??”
Um...why not?
Joy Reid assuming looters are black people….
Because white people get to loot without being shot 🙄
You may be stuck in your home with no power and flood waters all around you, but no worries, Heineken guy is on his way with a refreshing beverage!
How did this not become a Heineken ad campaign?
What part of “criminal” are they struggling with?
These people are retarded. (Oh! Is that hate speech?)
Looters should always be shot on sight. Who has made it an issue of “race” except for the leftists?
Joyless obviously knows that her fellow BLACKS are LOOTERS!!
...a liberal would say...
-PJ
Joy “Racist” Reid thinks all looters are black.
Why do BOOKSTORES and EMPLOYMENT OFFICES NEVER GET LOOTED??
Joyless Reid is a mo-ron. A complete mo-ron.
BTW, wasn’t she supposed to lose her show?

Black moms brung up de chilluns to take da respirations we done lost in slave days gone by. White folk owe us.
And shouldn’t everyone want to “segregate” themselves from mobs looting houses and stores? Or is togetherness with them the answer?
