That’s what leftists do. They are trying to paint Republicans as white supremacists - look at how they yell racist at everyone who disagrees with their politics - while downplaying the summer of destruction at city after city, week after week, month after month, by radical leftist groups and their followers.

The entirety of the CNN article mentions the phrase "white supremacist" a grand total of one time, and here is the phrase in context:

So nowhere in the CNN article referenced by "daily caller" does it label the Capitol rioters as white supremacists.

And judging by this thread that's what rightists do - make false assumptions and the rest of the mindless follow along, pitchforks in hand.

It's really clear how the Trump rally turned to a riot so quickly. This entire base is easily persuaded and not really into fact checking. Add in a good dose of blindly following the leader (hey that guy says stuff I agree with so he's always right!) and it's a recipe for disaster. Just like when they broke into the Capitol.

Here are some high profile cases of extremism within the military from both former and active duty servicemembers within the last 10 years or so. Extremism is nothing new in the military, but now it is a "big deal" after Jan 6


2009 Fort Hood shooting left 13 dead + 1 unborn child - active duty Army major radicalized Islamic extremist

2016 Shooting dead of 5 Dallas police officers - former US Army reservist radicalized black militant

2016 Baton Rouge shooting left 3 police officers dead - former USMC radicalized black militant

2020 shooting left 2 dead (1 police officer and 1 federal government security guard) - radicalized US Air Force sergeant angry over cops shooting black men

So is your argument that extremism should be tolerated or looked into?

The entire base?? All 74 million of us?

And we don't think the election was fraudulent because Trump said so. We can see for ourselves. Your comment is as demeaning as if someone were to say "blacks just believe whatever the BLM tells them to".

And were the Biden base just blinding following the BLM and Antifa terrorists when they burned down buildings, and rioted in city after city after city after city after city after city......for week after week after week after week?

There was ONE idiotic riot by people inflamed by how they've been treated, and DOZENS of riots by people inflamed by how they think THEY have been treated. Yet, we had leftists downplay the riots all summer because....leftists were the violent ones.

If CNN is claiming something, why would you automatically assume, as you did above, that they're correct, regardless of intention? Do news outlets ever get anything wrong?

Your blind defense of a cable channel is mystifying.
I don't watch CNN (AT ALL), but I thought the claim was based on US Law Enforcement observations. CNN is just reporting what (I think it was the FBI, not sure) concluded.

Even though I can't stand CNN, and don't watch them, why would they NOT report this, if it's what has been found? Refute the reports if you want, but don't blame CNN for reporting it.

If I'm wrong, I know someone will let me know.
