Today’s paragraphs come to us from Sean Davis, who rights for thefederalist.com.
Here is the beginning of his piece on a subject I have been covering for the past week: the lack of any Democrat (other than one belated exhortation by Bernie Sanders) demanding a stop to rioting in the streets over Trump’s election win over Hillary Clinton:
It’s been nearly a week since Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, but the fires set by rioters protesting Trump’s victory still rage. These riots aren’t being orchestrated in cities that Trump won, nor are they being perpetrated by people who voted for his presidency.
Quite the opposite. The riots are happening in Portland, Los Angeles, and New York City, each of which voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton.
At some point, however, the Twitterati decided that it was Trump who either needed to be denounced or do some denouncing himself. At some point, the memo went out that all right-thinking people who of course voted for Hillary Clinton needed to call on Trump to denounce any and all violence going on in America. Because if the violent, anti-Trump protesters are going to listen to anyone, they’re obviously going to listen to Donald Trump.
Great sarcasm, Sean. And more than deserved by the people you take aim at. That’s why you win Paragraphs Of The Day honors.
And the fact that what I’ve put up is only a small piece of your excellent article, is why readers should use this link and read the rest of it as well.
After reading the rest of the commentary I have to ask this question again.
Where have Trump supporters committed an outpouring of racist, sexist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic and homophobic insults, threats and attacks being associated with your name, at?????
I have not seen one instance of it. All I have seen is anti-Trumpers rioting.
There have been a relatively few anecdotal incidents…which might have related to Trump and may have just happened at the same time. The “protests”, however, are indisputable. I thought media had outdone itself during the campaign, but evidently they’re not through yet.
