CNN: Antifa’s Violence Against ‘Bigots’ Is ‘Right’

46

Chris Cuomo with CNN said on national television that antifa is quite right in going after those deemed bigoted.

In other words: Violence against innocent Americans is quite OK so long as it’s justified by calling the target bigoted.

In other words: Democrats just gave violence against Republicans and President Donald Trump supporters the thumbs-up.

Truly, did you ever think you’d see such a time in America?

Trump’s right: The media really is the enemy of the people.

From Breitbart:

Chris Cuomo announced Monday night that CNN will not condemn but instead justify political violence against anyone it defines as “bigots” — which, according to the network’s editorial tone over the past two years, signals open season on all Trump supporters for violent activists like Antifa and the Black Bloc.

To legitimize political violence, Cuomo said, “All punches are not equal morally… Drawing a moral equivalency between those espousing hate and those fighting it, because they both resort to violence emboldens hate, legitimized hateful belief and elevates what should be stamped out.”

This is a dramatic turning point for the far left. Not only is CNN offering moral cover for those who engage in political violence, but — thanks to the ever-widening definition of “hate” — CNN is also calling for the left’s political opponents to be “stamped out.”

This, of course, is anathema to the very heart of Martin Luther King’s civil rights movement, which was never about “stamping out” anything. Rather, it was about using peaceful protest and civil disobedience to change hearts and minds.

Cuomo continued: [emphasis added]

Two wrongs and what is right. The bigots are wrong to hit. Antifa or whomever — anarchists or malcontents or the misguided — they are also wrong to hit. But fighting hate is right. And in a clash between hate and those who oppose it, those who oppose it are on the side of right.

After using the language of “stamped out,” CNN also crusades for “fighting hate,” but not within the context of King — where unassailable decency is used to change public opinion, to pursue a moral awakening. CNN is talking about physical “fighting.”

Cuomo and CNN go even further:

Think about it: civil rights activists, were they the same morally as the bigots and the racists with whom they exchanged blows? Are people who go to war against an evil regime on the same moral ground as those they seek to stop from oppressing the weak? When you punch me in the nose for being Italian and say I’m somehow less than, am I in the same moral place when I punch you back for saying that.

It’s not about being right in the eyes of the law, but you also have to know what’s right and wrong in a moral, in a good and evil sense.

That’s why people who show up to fight against bigots are not to be judged the same as the bigots, even if they do resort to the same kinds of petty violence.

And CNN is not just talking about self-defense which, of course, is always justified.

There are two key points that need to be made. The first is this…

What happened over the weekend at this Unite the Right 2 rally was pretty simple and a disaster for the Antifa’s media allies…

Only a handful of Nazis showed up.

Antifa arrived in droves.

This pathetic group of white supremacists committed no acts of violence that we know of.

Antifa rioted.

In other words, even though the Nazis decided not to come out of their mother’s basement, rather than declare victory, Antifa still rioted, still turned its hate and violence against those who did show up. This included innocent bystanders, the police (even black police officers), the Secret Service, the government, the United States of America, and members of the media.

You see, even though Antifa has proven over and over that it is a terrorist organization, the media have portrayed this group as a virtuous but misguided organization that fights Nazis. Now, to anyone paying attention, this has always been a lie. Time and again and again we have seen Antifa use their Brownshirt tactics against everyday Trump supporters. But because the media want Antifa out there terrorizing Trump supporters, the narrative is Antifa vs. Nazis.

Unfortunately for the media, this weekend’s violence, which was wholly caused by Antifa, exposed that media narrative as a lie, and this, in turn, forced CNN to come out and finally admit to what we have known for years — that the far-left cable outlet is an advocate for utilizing political violence to reach its partisan goals, including violence against police officers, black-owned businesses, President Trump, and his supporters.

The second important point here is that CNN is now openly encouraging and excusing violence against “bigotry” and “hate” only after CNN has spent years defining “bigotry” and “hate” as anyone who supports Trump.

What CNN did Monday night by justifying political violence, by in any way excusing it, is a major turning point within an increasingly frustrated and radicalized establishment media.

One of the great cornerstones of classical liberalism is the idea is that, no matter how reprehensible your ideas, here in America you are allowed to argue those ideas, as long as you do so peacefully. And now this cornerstone, the moral and patriotic lessons of Skokie, have been stomped on by the fascist boots of CNN, Chris Cuomo, and their ilk as impotent rage leads them to pursue the un-American goals of blacklists and violence.

Just be aware that, according to the “pro” journalists wringing their hands about mean tweets, political violence is now fair game… as are all of us who support Trump.

It’s not a racial protest. They’re not protesting racism. Antifa, BLM and the rest of them are political protesters shrouded as racial protest.

Sound familiar. Hmmmmm, where else does this take place? Oh yes. Islam-a political ideology masquerading as a religion.

Islum, it’s a race, it’s a religion, it’s both whenever it’s convenient. It’s hilarious how muslums, muslum apologists, muslum sympathizers try to paint muslums as victims — as the muslums engage in genocide and ethnic cleansing allah over the muslum world.

“But drawing a moral equivalency between those espousing hate and those fighting because they both resort to violence emboldens hate — legitimizes hateful belief and elevates what should be stamped out.”

“That’s why people who show up to fight against bigots are not to be judged the same as the bigots, even if they do resort to the same kinds of petty violence.”

Andrew Cuomo is currently running for reelection as governor of NY. He is also expected to be a candidate for president in 2020. I wonder if he will comment on the above position by Chris Cuomo and CNN.

Cuomo isn’t the issue – Cuomo is just another not-to-bright mediocrity who’s following the media crowd down the rabbit hole.

This is not to suggest that in the aggregate, Cuomo, Cooper, Blitzer, Amanpour, and the rest, aren’t dangerous.

They are – and very much so.

Though I agree with what this article states, I believe their is more to be said about the inanity of the commentary made by those who claim to be in the business of broadcasting news. Assuming you would agree that when the President speaks it is news worthy to hear what he has to say, whether or not what he might say would be something you would agree with or otherwise, and that a true news media would have somebody in attendance so as to enable that media to transmit the statements contained in the speech, let me pose the following observation. I was watching the Presidents speech at the US Steel “rally,” and I was switching between CNN and MSN, while watching the speech being covered on Fox, and I noted that the other stations were discussing Russian collusion related opinion, and did not broadcast one word of his speech. That to me says volumes. the anti-trump media has totally lost its way if they refuse to broadcast news that should be heard by every citizen of this country, and it is continuing evidence that these stations can no longer claim that they are a NEWS media format.

Cuomo, CNN and the entirety of the MSM are the Bigots; anyone backing Antifa or BLM who agrees with the Fascist mandate deployed by these Racist factions. Sponsored and paid to cause civil unrest in the name of ‘Tolerance’ by the Democrats and Soros. Divisiveness was used by Obama to create a great schism in the Republic, it worked. Now, the worm has turned, blaming Trump as the Bigot or those daring to criticize Globalization, the progressives’ totalitarian diktat. Tribalizing the nation is the end product of this devious plot. Fracture the nation so that no one is an American but a bit of this a dollop of that, namely, multiculturalism.

These are desperate time; these are desperate people who will regain power by any means; perceiving the downfall of America and its Constitution as collateral damage by the leftists/Democrats.

Chris Cuomo like his father, wrong on every count ! He tells us that Antifa are anti fascist, which of course they are not, they are the fascists. Just as Hitler had the black shirts backing him, the liberals have the Antifa dressed in black ! And yes, Hitler was far left wing politics.
Chris you are a extreme left idiot !

Clearly this man is arguing those that stand up to hatred and supremacy have a right to do so. He is right. The Worlds largest supremacist group, responsible for literally ten of thousands of deaths, violence, rape, and barbarity every year need to be called out for what they are. They support hate, racism, bigotry and homophobia and believe their ideology is superior to all others. Cumo is 100% right. Lets hope he is at the front of the clearly righteous potentially violent protests against those seek to destroy the life of others. At last someone at CNN understands and accepts ISLAM needs to be stopped and if violence is side product in protecting the righteous, then so be it.

ANTIF is a fascist group aligned with the left wing of the democrat party and must be outlawed, as The Muslim Brotherhood must be outlawed ! This is getting out of control people when you have TV personalities and democrat politicians calling for violence against another political party. Calling for violence against any group will lead to anarchy.

It takes a lot of hard work to drop lower than low. For one thing, a new, deeper hole must be dug to accommodate the lowest ideas and stories conceived and dropped by MSM journalists like Cuomo. Seriously, I am envious of his regularity. Do you suppose he takes a daily story softener?

Somebody will push someone who will push back hard. 45 ACP or even a .380 pushes real hard. Now this person who pushes back real hard will be in a world of trouble. As they stand over someone lying on the ground while he holds said pusher. The 17 obama phones clicking away. The person will most likely have a CCP/CCW and may be 99% legal as he may “fear for his life”. But the MSM will be after blood and the dim politicians will be after blood. The guy will not have a chance unless he gets the right jury. The leftist thugs will be after revenge and will ramp up their violence resulting in more assaults and I imagine deadly. This is what movies and books are made of. Just thinking is all.
