First Democrat to issue a substantive comment on this topic?

It’s in contention for her party’s rallying cry, vs. Trump’s tired law-and-order theme? At any rate, she speaks for how many Democrats? Many, I fear.

Playing down or barely mentioning his allegedly felonious behavior, as if it’s erased because of what cop did.

New York Times Makes Hero of Jacob Blake

Telling his tale in glowing terms (New York Times). Strangely downplayed in the story: His alleged sexual assault. From another story: The woman who survived the sexual assault has been pretty much ignored. But Jacob Blake, the alleged assailant, is now the darling of the Left and the media. Not only did he stand accused of that assault, but he knowingly endangered his own children’s lives by attempting to flee the police (Washington Examiner). From Ben Shapiro: Here’s the NYT, just making a hero of a man who allegedly digitally raped a woman with her child in the room (Twitter).

Ho-hum, another hit job gone kerflooey.

Bolton: Claim Trump Called Fallen Soldiers “Losers” is “Simply False”

The Atlantic piece takes yet another hit. Bolton was on with Martha MacCallum on Fox News. Bolton, who has proven he is not afraid to say very negative things about Trump, says he was, in fact, in the room when the unnamed sources said this happened and it simply did not occur (Fox News). From Brit Hume: Once again Trump is embroiled in a heated controversy. Once again, it is about something he’s alleged to have said. And once again, his reported comments are at odds with his record, this time on veterans and the military. Such disparities have been a constant in his presidency (Twitter).

Egad, when it’s they who are the violent ones:

Story Claims Left is Preparing for MAGA Violence Should Trump Lose

A cluster of far left groups, like Planned Parenthood and MoveOn, are among those who appear to believe the right is where the violence may come (Daily Beast). From Mollie Hemingway: Resistance figures signaling that they are prepping for violent resistance to 2020 election if they lose. All while claiming that what they’re AKSHUALLY doing is preparing for, uh, widespread GOP violence. Really. Some interesting projection and propaganda here (Twitter). From Michael Dougherty: There’s no talk whatsoever among mainstream or even Breitbartian Republicans of putting on displays of force on the streets around election time. But there’s a TON of it among elite Dems! (Twitter). From Will Chamberlain: Seems like the party that is currently setting cities on fire is the party that’s more likely to set cities on fire if they lose (Twitter). From Erielle Davidson: Pretty sure it’s not Trump voters burning down major cities right now. How unintelligent do these orgs think the American public is? (Twitter).

“EXPLICITLY AND OPENLY RACIST,” says Instapundit.

Obviously.
