WOW! Pelosi and Schumer Issue Statement Attacking President Trump and Defending-Ignoring Violent Leftist Mob

This is just stunning .
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer released a statement on Monday night after several days of leftist looting and violence across the nation .
The top Democrats attacked President Donald Trump for his strong stand against the looters and thugs and defended the violent mob .
First is should be noted that the protesters outside the White House on Monday afternoon were not peaceful and were not gassed .

Washington , D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer issued this statement after President Trump tear-gassed peaceful protestors following a press conference in which he ordered troops to “ dominate the streets ” : “ Across our country , Americans are protesting for an end to the pattern of racial injustice and brutality we saw most recently in the murder of George Floyd .
“ Yet , at a time when our country cries out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it apart .
Tear-gassing peaceful protestors without provocation just so that the President could pose for photos outside a church dishonors every value that faith teaches us .
“ We call upon the President , law enforcement and all entrusted with responsibility to respect the dignity and rights of all Americans .
Together , we must insist on the truth that America must do much more to live up to its promise : the promise of liberty and justice for all , which so many have sacrificed for – from Dr. King to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ streets today .
“ At this challenging time , our nation needs real leadership .
The President ’ s continued fanning of the flames of discord , bigotry and violence is cowardly , weak and dangerous .
”

So, it wasn’t tear gas; they weren’t peaceful protesters; the decision to clear had nothing to do with President Trump’s walk across. Other than that, great reporting fake newsers.https://t.co/jRboZxtBTb — Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) June 2, 2020

Gutfeld on the media’s role in the riots There was another night of looting Monday. But what’s the media’s priority? Criticizing President Trump, of course. CNN anchors and reporters had plenty to say about the president. Anderson Cooper said of Trump: “He calls them [rioters] thugs? Who is the thug here? Hiding in a bunker, hiding behind a suit?” Don Lemon said: “We are teetering on a dictatorship. Is the president declaring war on Americans? What is happening here?” Chris Cuomo said: “The president had been saying incendiary things, certainly if you’ve been listening with any kind of open-mindedness, certainly not helpful things.” And CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta said of the president: “He’s all but calling on authorities to crack skulls at these protests. It’s not something you normally see in the United States of America. It’s something you see in more authoritarian countries.” Amazing. Meanwhile, the headline on an editorial in The New York Times reads: “America’s Protests Won’t Stop Until Police Brutality Does.” Meaning, they hope this could go on forever… The New York media, by sticking to their narrative that we deserve punishment, reject protecting our citizens. They mock the need for military intervention. People have families, relatives and spouses who work at night. When our leaders believe this mayhem is inevitable, even necessary, then who protects us now?

He commented during a meeting that the county would need to recoup 100% of the costs of the convention and in private conversations said that Trump’s campaign would need to make a “sizeable” down payment, “somewhere in the ball park of $150-200million.”
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings doesn't sound very interested in hosting the Republican National Convention this summer. Demings, who controls the county's enormous convention center, says he'd only consider it if he knew the county was going to recoup 100% of its costs. — Jason Garcia (@Jason_Garcia) June 3, 2020
Orange County owns the convention center, which could be a potential site for the RNC, among other sites across Central and South Florida.

Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg, who represents the area neighboring Orange County in Central Florida, says that he would welcome President Trump and the RNC if they needed a backup plan after far-left North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announced that the RNC and President Trump were “not welcome” to host the already planned convention in NC.
“Central Florida would be extremely lucky to host the RNC. The economic impact of such an event would be massive and it’s shortsighted for Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings to deny his constituents the right to earn a living and put food on the table in this time of crisis.”
Demings’ wife is being considered as a candidate for Vice President for Joe Biden on the Democratic line, which presents a massive conflict of interest for Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings, who stands to benefit greatly from slighting Trump’s convention in an act of defiance in order to motivate Democrat voters to support his wife.

Flyers were reported posted around the wealthy Dallas area neighborhood of Highland Village in Denton County in recent days that threaten residents with looting if they don’t support the Black Lives Matter movement. Highland Village police said they are aware of the flyers.
The Cross Timbers Gazette reported on the flyers (excerpt):
…Some residents in the area doubt the flyers’ legitimacy. Highland Village and Flower Mound police said they are working Tuesday to determine who distributed the flyers and if the threat is serious. The flyers were posted Monday night and/or Tuesday morning in southern Denton County, and they say that the area was specifically targeted because of “the socioeconomic status your town holds.” The looting threat follows… …Highland Village Police Chief Doug Reim said Tuesday morning that he didn’t know who posted the flyers. He said the QR code on the flyers takes you to a webpage that is “similar” to Black Lives Matter, but isn’t verified. The flyers don’t claim to be from BLM, but they do have a #BlackLivesMatter hashtag. Some believe the threats are fake, and are meant to make protestors look bad…
The text of the flyer reads:
Removing this flier shows the type of person you are. Hello Highland Village. These fliers are being posted in your area due to the socioeconomic status your town holds. The average household income for Highland Village is $166,243.

This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding. It is a wholesome and unifying demand—one that all of us should be able to get behind.

The protests are defined by tens of thousands of people of conscience who are insisting that we live up to our values—our values as people and our values as a nation.
When I joined the military, some 50 years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens—much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief, with military leadership standing alongside…

Don’t waste your time, @RyanLizza. @RichardGrenell is Goebbels with a Twitter account. — Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) June 3, 2020
It will be interesting to see if any of the far left Jewish Groups like the ADL will condemn Swalwell for his outrageous comparison.
We’re not holding our breath.

Can 2020 get crazier ?

But let’s sum up what’s happened so far in 2020 (some of it now seems like it was years ago).
Jan. 2: The year got off to a fiery start, literally. Australian officials declared a state of emergency as brushfires spread across the country, eventually burning tens of millions of acres and killing an estimated one billion animals.
That same day: President Trump orders the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani by the U.S. military via drone strike after Iran attacked a base in Iraq, wounding Americans.

Jan. 11: Whoops. China records its first COVID-19 death. But don’t worry, WHO says, the virus is well contained, so we’re all good.
Jan. 16: The trial of Trump begins nearly a month after the House passes two articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. It will drag on for weeks as lawmakers completely ignore that pesky virus in China and focus on a phone call Trump made to the president of Ukraine.
Jan. 20: Whoops. The first case of COVID-19 is diagnosed in Washington state. But Trump and top U.S. officials say don’t worry, it won’t spread widely. No need for masks.
Jan. 31: The United Kingdom withdraws from the European Union in a move dubbed Brexit. “The most important thing to say tonight is that this is not an end but a beginning,” British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said.
And that’s just January.
In February, the Iowa Democratic caucuses are a disaster, with results delayed for weeks over “quality control” issues. Trump is acquitted of the charges in a party line vote (if you consider Sen. Mitt Romney a Democrat, which he sorta is). WHO dubs the virus COVID-19, but still says it should all be fine.

Days later, the Dow plunges nearly 3,000 points, the single largest drop in more than 30 years. The Tokyo Olympics are canceled and Americans go into full lockdown, with governors and mayors shutting down restaurants and most businesses. But the U.S. Surgeon General demands people stop buying masks.
In April, COVID-19 cases worldwide top 1 million. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont drops out, leaving just Joe Biden left standing. New York state becomes the U.S. leader in COVID-19 cases, a title it will never relinquish. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, says there’s “no evidence” small businesses are suffering.

U.S. officials now say everyone should wear masks.
In May, Asian “murder” hornets hit the headlines. Government officials tighten lockdowns nationwide, and another 10 million Americans lose their jobs. It all gets worse and worse — then George Floyd, an unarmed black man, dies after a Minneapolis police officer kneels on his neck for over eight minutes. None of the four officers at the scene were charged for four days. Now, riots are sweeping the nation (with peaceful demonstrators also protesting the plight of blacks in America).
That brings up to date. Still to come, more riots, more craziness, then the most contentious presidential election in history.

Flashback: James Baker Testified Under Oath Rosenstein Plotted to Wear a Wire to Oust Trump From Office with 25th Amendment

Rosenstein told Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) that he NEVER discussed a plot to wear a wire to remove President Trump using the 25th Amendment.
However, there is evidence to the contrary.
Somebody is lying.
In October of 2018, then-Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC) called for Rosenstein to step down following explosive testimony from Comey confidant former FBI general counsel James Baker.
James Baker appeared on Capitol Hill in October of 2018 for the second time to testify about Rosenstein’s plan to wear a wire and and the use of FISA warrants to oust President Trump from office.
Rep. Meadows emerged from the testimony and called for Rosenstein to “resign immediately.”
“Based on additional information we’ve learned over the last week, it is clear Rod Rosenstein should resign immediately,” Meadows previously said to reporters.
James Baker previously told Congressional investigators that Rosenstein’s plot to wear a wire and oust Trump from office was not a joke as the DAG claimed.
Rod Rosenstein in 2017 spoke with DOJ and FBI officials about wearing a wire and secretly recording President Trump to be able to build a case that Trump is unfit to hold office.
Rosenstein began plotting Trump’s removal shortly after FBI Director Comey was fired, The New York Times reported citing memos penned by then-Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe.
McCabe’s 2-page memo detailed a “contemporaneous recollection” of a meeting McCabe had with Rosenstein on May 16, 2017 — Just one day before Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate ‘Trump-Russia collusion.’
McCabe detailed how Rosenstein offered to wear a wire into the Oval Office “to collect additional evidence on the president’s true intentions.”
It appears Rosenstein may have perjured himself this morning but he won’t be charged because he’s a protected Deep State actor.
