I believe they've finally identified the culprits: white conservative Christian MAGA-hat-wearing teenagers from Covington Kentucky.

Here's the first prominent Democrat I've heard who was given a chance to do just that, and... well, I'll let the audio speak for itself. We're not talking about some fringe figure out there who just happens to prefer the Democrats...this is a mainstream Democrat elected to the United States Senate:

Most Democrats are not for tearing down statues of our founding fathers, that I can tell you.


So why don't "most Democrats" speak out against this mob mentality nonsense?

Why don't "most Democrat" mayors and governors put a stop to this crap instead of indulging in it, downplaying it and making excuses for it?

Inquiring minds want to know.

This had nothing to do with the confederacy or even race. Ever.
The woke are fast asleep.

Because they are afraid. Because most politicians are spineless and don't want to do anything unless they have to. And that is in normal times, right now we are living in an era of extreme Woke McCarthyism that has most leaders running to the hills.

Even much of the media is afraid to say something. So is corporate America, paying off protestors in the hope they will not be a target themselves.

Maybe they'll start doing something if and when it finally occurs to them the mob they are presently enabling are ultimately after THEM.

Better option: The police can start doing their f-ing jobs and stop them, but for some reason, the police are pandering to the very mob that is demanding their dissolution and just letting them have at it.
It’s not the police, it’s the Democrat, cowardly mayors, governors and other local “leaders” that are scared #&$^less to take action.
