The hammering of Paul Pelosi and media reaction both to it and to other news of late, tells us more about Democrats than Republicans.
The words of longtime Democratic stooge Rahm Emanuel, “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” come to mind. Allow me to explain.
The news had barely broken of the attack on Paul “Mr. Nancy” Pelosi when the Lamestream media was spitting out innuendo and direct accusations, attempting to link the attack to Republicans, either directly or due to the “toxic environment” they have created by having the temerity to question Democratic propaganda.
You never hear the Lamestream media members opining that if only Pelosi had served some jail time for his little DUI problem, he wouldn’t have been home in his mansion to interrupt the intruder, who reportedly was looking for the man of the house – Nancy.
No, Democrats are in trouble in mid-term elections and here’s a gift-wrapped opportunity to try to wrongfully tar the opposition party and its candidates for the actions of an apparently unhinged individual. You can almost smell the desperation.
A story authored by Michael Shellenberger, raises some points you are unlikely to hear about the alleged Pelosi assailant. He cites items such as the accused man’s rambling online presence that included sharing a post roasting President George W. Bush by left-winger Stephen Colbert, as well as links to altered Disney videos with characters appearing to swear. This “Republican” also proclaimed Jesus Christ is the anti-Christ.
These are not things one is likely to hear discussed at Republican gatherings. But they don’t favor the Democratic/media narrative that this apparent nut is a typical Republican, so they are omitted from the reporting.
The Shellenberger story further tells us that the accused man has a Black Lives Matter sign in the window of his house, as well as having on display a rainbow LGBT flag with a marijuana symbol on it.
The alleged assailant is reported to have lived with a Russian woman for a long time and he originally is from Canada, with no clear statement on his status in this country.
Again, you will not hear or read any of these particulars in Lamestream media reports intent on harming Republican candidates and the party in general by linking them to this attack. The facts don’t further the narrative being pushed, which is not to be confused with reporting.
This also helps explain why media were only too happy to run with charges from a political opponent that Kari Lake, Republican front-runner in the Arizona governor’s race, had something to do with a burglary at her Democratic rival’s campaign headquarters.
Proof? We don’t need no stinking proof!
We didn’t hear such media outrage when Lee Zeldin, a Republican candidate for governor in New York, was attacked onstage during a July campaign event, or when two people were shot outside Zeldin’s home three weeks back.
By the way, the attacker of Zeldin was quickly released from jail.
Even in liberal San Francisco, were putting criminals back on the streets as quickly as possible is a plank of any Democrat’s platform, I’d be surprised if the Pelosi attack suspect gets to use a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Recently a man distributing campaign literature for Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio was beaten severely. His crime? Wearing a Ron DeSantis hat and Rubio T-shirt.
Where is the outrage regarding this politically motivated attack?
When will Democrats be held responsible for the violent deeds of the Black Lives Matter and Antifa groups they support, either outright or behind the scenes?
When will the Lamestream media be selective in its reporting in an attempt to tar Democrats over their associations with these and other far-left fringe hate groups?
Answer: Never.
I’m surprised (sarcasm here) that Democrats haven’t tapped into our little bit of ridiculous violence here in Johnstown the past week, when a trio of females hopped on a school bus and pummeled the monitor, sending her to the hospital.
The three women seemed to be non-whites. The attack happened when the bus stopped at a public housing project. This wouldn’t help the Evil Republican narrative.
Here’s a reality the Democrats should own, with their soft-on-crime policy: A full 78 percent of respondents to an October Gallup survey believe crime is up nationally in the past year.
That’s due, in large part, to lawless big cities presided over by Democrats now and as long as anyone can recall.
Paul Pelosi is as much a victim of Democrats’ policies on crime as of any particular political hatred. But good luck getting the Lamestream media to run with that reality.
