Brownshirts in the Streets

For John, BLUF:  President Trump went to Minneapolis and was greeted by a large number of supporters, supporters who were attacked as they left the venue.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

HOW EVIL IS THE LEFT?  THIS EVIL

From Powerline Blog, by Blogger John Hinderaker, 17 October 2019.

Here is the lede plus one:

I wrote here about the riot that occurred in downtown Minneapolis during and after President Trump’s rally last Thursday night.  Trump supporters were assaulted, their vehicles were blocked, police officers and police horses were attacked, and so on.  This video, filmed by Alpha News, shows how violent and disgusting the “protest” by liberal Democrats was.

You might think that in the aftermath of such appalling lawlessness, mainstream Democratic politicians would rush to denounce the violence.  In fact, to my knowledge, not a single Minnesota Democrat has criticized what you saw in that video.  At least one Democratic legislator, Aisha Gomez, participated in the riot, and several others tweeted their support for it.  And Ilhan Omar, the darling of Minnesota’s Democratic Party, expressed regret that she wasn’t taking part in the riot along with Rep. Gomez
