   Notice how CNN has absolutely no interest or curiosity in exploring the much   
   more serious threat of left-wing violence and the threat it poses to the   
   country.   
      
   Don't hold your breath waiting for Pamela Brown or anyone else at CNN to   
   launch a months-long special project exposing Antifa and other well-organized,   
   trained, and funded violent leftist groups, like the ones we saw in   
   Minneapolis over the last few months.

   And yet all of the violent "action" we've seen in America since Kirk's death   
   has been from the left. This gaslighting from CNN is epic.

   What's wrong with that? Any other group stands up for their rights-- black   
   rights, latino rights, gay rights, Muslim rights, Jewish rights, transformer   
   rights-- they're all praised and given special months dedicated to celebrating   
   them. But Christians standing up for *their* rights? Whoa, Nellie! This must   
   be exposed and vilified as a threat to national security!

   But when Barack Obama promised to protect Muslims? Nah, nothing  insidious   
   about that, amirite?

   Shorter CNN: "Trump never actually said what we're claiming here, but after he   
   came within a cunt-hair of having his head blown off by a leftist assassin, he   
   expressed a belief in a religion that doesn't belong to brown people, so he   
   must be de facto evil."

   Exactly. The Left loots and sets fire to cities when they don't get their way.   
   When a prominent conservative leader is assassinated by a radical leftist, the   
   Right decided to pray instead of riot.   
      
   And for some reason that makes them a national threat.   
      
   I remember at the time of Kirk's death, thinking how interesting it was that   
   none of the businesses in downtown L.A. closed or boarded up their windows   
   with plywood in anticipation of a rioting mob the way they routinely do   
   whenever something negative for the Left happens in the country. Not only were   
   there no riots after Kirk's murder, no one *expected* there to be.
