While appearing on “Watters’ World” Saturday, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani ripped liberal leadership for situations like in Seattle — where protesters have taken over six blocks — and the destruction in many major cities following the death of George Floyd. Giuliani first opened up saying there was an insurrection in Seattle and Miami and they both blamed liberals for the outburst and not the police. Rudy tried to compare ‘autonomous zones’ to the Civil War, calling it a minor version of that major conflict in American history. Watters stated the police needed to stop these protesters in...

A couple of weeks ago cops protected the Atlanta CNN building from being looted and destroyed inside by a mob, and protected the CNN crew that was inside from that mob. CNN portrays cops in a very negative light and CNN won’t even take the time to praise the cops who protected their own staff. Negative, negative, negative, about Trump and cops all the time at CNN.

Our country, at this moment, is facing a constellation of challenges that touch fundamental precepts of our society, and these are challenges that need to be met head-on with courage and with a commitment to the only values that can truly unite us — values of respect for each individual person and that foster a culture of inclusion and opportunity for every person. If this nation feels like it is pulling itself apart, it is because Floyd’s death is a Minneapolis story with a corollary in every community. It’s also because some would take us down the wrong path.
