No Straw Man, I have never said or suggested that there was no link with the riots and protests "in any way"

I have come to this floor often to speak out, to be angry, to be a voice for my people. I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes … We are a democracy, but we can lose that democracy."

I keep expecting Trump to announce a fort named after Confederate General Jubilation T Cornpone (if he saw the film he might think that J.T. Cornpone was a real general and not from the Broadway play and film). Lil Abner - Jubilation T Cornpone

Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability on behalf of the people of California.

No one here is in favor of or supports the violence connected with these protests. No one. But we keep hearing that same false narrative being repeated again and again.

Or to the May Day parades in Moscow with a smiling Joe Stalin in Red Square basking in the attention like Trump will.

Kind of a simple concept that some folks have trouble grasping.

OK I just saw the video where is walking and he doesn't look hurt in that (although there is not a close up of his face, he is shown pretty much from the back and side, not really facing the camera).

Not sure that is legitimate, the guy didn't have a scratch on him which seems unlikely if the plane exploded on impact.

Yes, but that doesn't give anyone the right to intentionally run them down without any legal consequences just because they don't want to miss their 7PM dinner reservation.
