When President Trump conducted a fabulously successful
rally at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis on October 10th, the 20,000 who were
lucky enough to get into the Target Center had a wonderful time; by all
accounts it was one of Trump’s best rallies.
But outside the arena, things were quite different. Thousands
of lawless, violent Democrats “protested” Trump’s appearance by committing
assault, among other crimes. They battled police officers. They attacked
Republicans leaving Target Center. They set bonfires and burned patriotic
regalia. They carried the flag of the defunct Soviet Union.
They spat on peaceful Trump supporters. They assaulted an
uncounted number of normal citizens leaving the Target Center. They struck a
woman across the head with a piece of lumber. They waved a sign that said,
“Blue Lives Don’t F@$king Matter.” The Minneapolis Chief of Police reported,
“Objects containing liquid believed to be urine were hurled at some of my
officers along with bottles and rocks. Police horses were also assaulted by
protesters striking them with sticks.”
These leftists are identical to the Nazi
Brownshirts of the 1930s. But make no mistake–they represent
today’s Democratic Party.
A sitting Democratic State Representative,
Aisha Gomez (DFL-Minneapolis), was seen among the fascists, dressed in black
like an Antifa hoodlum.
And Minneapolis’s boy Mayor, Jacob Frey, who
expressed regret that he could not legally prevent President Trump from
visiting Minneapolis, and then tried to do it anyway, issued an order to the
Minneapolis Police Department not to use chemical irritants on the mob of
criminal Democrats. [UPDATE: We have a disagreement between Boy Mayor Frey
and the mob: Frey denies issuing such an order, putting him at odds with fellow
Democrat Gomez.] And not a single local Democrat has condemned the violence
and disorder that took place that night.
Please go here
and view the many videos and other tweets assembled by Katie Fulkerson of Center of the American Experiment,
the Minnesota organization (run by me) that fights the fascism that we saw in
the streets of Minneapolis last night. The facts are very, very bad for the
Left and for the Democratic Party. We need to bring those facts to light before
it is too late.
