With a tip of my hat to newsbusters.org’s Mark Finkelstein, who supplied the transcript…
…here, from yesterday’s interview on the CNN This Morning, are a series of verbatim quotes from a Democrat strategist named chuck rocha…in rust, with my comments in blue.
Please read them and decide who is making more sense:
“The administration wants us talking about immigration because they don’t want us talking about the price of everyday goods, which is affecting people dramatically. What folks don’t like are the images they’re seeing on their TV. They’re all about, if there’s somebody who’s come here and they’ve done something illegal, sure, they should be deported. But killing people in our streets that are U.S. citizens, point-blank pepper spraying. It doesn’t stop, and it’s happening in more and more cities.” Actually, just one person was killed, and the ICE agent who shot her thought (with good reason, if you watch the front-of-car video) that she was about to try and run him down. And the pepper spraying is a reaction to massive obstruction and violent actions on the part of “protesters” – including throwing bottles and rocks at agents.
“I think people in America are OK with somebody throwing a rock. They’re not OK with somebody getting shot in the face that was unarmed.” This guy actually thinks people, i.e. the general public – other than maybe leftists who want illegals in the country – are okay with “protesters” throwing rocks at ICE agents? What planet is he from? Ridiculous.
“These guys are thugs. They’re masked federal agents that are terrorizing neighborhoods. And I think it’s not an equal if, on or that. I haven’t seen a protester do anything except voice friendly resistance.” If chuck rocha hasn’t seen anything except “friendly resistance he is either blind or lying. And he’s not blind. And what happened to his comment about people being ok with rocks being thrown at agents? Why did he mention that if he hasn’t seen it happen? What a pathetic joke he is.
There you go. There are rocha’s comments and my reaction to them.
Who is making more sense? Your call.
