OK, just so I'm clear. Don Lemon only wants the rioting, looting, arson, assault and murder to stop because polls show regular people detest it.

He's basically saying he is cool with utter lawlessness if it was popular. That skidmark needs to be arrested for inciting and supporting the lawlessness.

I don’t think it matters for them at this point; for the most part, the damage is done politically. They should have thought about it about 2-3 days following Floyd’s death.

I've concluded that the left doesn't commit acts of violence to persuade voters. They commit acts of violence because it makes them feel good. Remember, they are emotion based people.

"Why" are blacks killing other blacks? Not because they are hungry & want to feed their children. Not because they are "systematically discriminated against. Not because of universal racism. Not because of poverty. Not because of a lack of quality educational opportunities. So that leaves us with what...........??

i cannot believe what i just watched. my word if you ever doubted that the media is brainwashing people, just watch this. after this, his handlers told him it was time to tds and he jumped into the deep end. and no one will ever hold him accountable for his duplicity. what's crazy is he got flack from the community over those comments.

"is that really taking the word back"

so many gems in that segment

Right... no morals ..

It’s not that the rioting is wrong.. it’s only because it’s negatively polling is the reason it should stop.

The sorry arse leftists who promoted the civil disorder we see didn’t care about the little guy losing his shop, big business getting looted, or innocent by-standers getting hurt. That’s obvious.
All they cared about was gaining political power by making Trump look inept and out of control.

But Americans as a whole don’t like thus BS. They see the opportunists first what they really are, They see inept politicians too; however, they are the Democrat mayors and governors who refused to enforce the law and who let the rioters and looters loose to cause mayhem.

They empathize with the locals who have been abandoned by their local government and who have had to take the law into their own hands to protect their property rather than see it destroyed.

Yes Don, you helped it all along and now you are seeing some mad Americans who see you guys for what you are, scum.

Don Lemón: Rioting has to stop because it's showing up in polling


So basically an admission that the only real purpose of the riots was to hurt Trump.

That was my immediate thought and reaction. What a pitifully shallow group leftist democrats are. No GAS about loss of life and limb, destruction and ruination of families and a life's work building a responsible small business employing other Americans. Only when it shows in the polls is there the least bit of concern.

An hour before the RNC, I watched a panel discussion between three Pollsters and two commentators.

The Pollsters were finally honest about what has been trending and the overall laziness of polling. Right now they are polling swing states only. In fact, they only poll three to four of those states. The numbers they use are "registered voters only" Seldom if ever "Likely voters." All have been heavily weighted Democrat samples. The tide has turned and it is showing big time.

One commentator took swung for fences using the suburban woman approach. These women voted heavily in favor of the Democrats in the 2018 election. One pollster fired back ..."Those women want to be safe and secure and wish for their children to be so in schools. What message are the Democrats delivering right now? Everything those suburban women have no desire to be involved in. They also discussed the black and Hispanic vote. "Kennesaw has a large Hispanic population ...they are not too happy with what is taking place and the inaction of the Police or Government."

Will be interesting to see if the media got new marching orders. They're realizing middle America is fed up with this carp.

Odds the riots will calm down ?

Mayor of Portland said the same thing two+ weeks ago. No issue with the property destruction, loss of life or injured citizens or LEOs...only concern is how it's playing politically.

quote:

“You are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder,” Mayor Ted Wheeler said in hastily called news conference alongside Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.

"Don't think for a moment that if you are participating in this activity that you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump, because you absolutely are," Wheeler said during a Friday news briefing. "You are creating the B-roll film that will be used in ads nationally to help Donald Trump during his campaign. You don't want to be part of that? Then don't show up."

This is similar to calling criminals stupid, because they got caught, rather than evil for doing the crime to begin with.

Any decent person should be against the riots because they are wrong, not because they are ineffective.

It's nuts how quickly this happened.

3 days ago there was no media/left push for peace. None at all. Now you're hearing it from the governor of Oregon, from Biden, from mainstream media personalities.

So politically motivated, so much groupthink.
