Once again MSNBC shows that it has absolutely no integrity. “Burn Down Minneapolis” has emerged as a rallying cry over the death of George Floyd. Yet the coverage by Ali Velshi was:
“I want to be clear on how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It is not generally speaking unruly. But fires have been started.”
This would be laughable if it wasn’t so tragic. Velshi says this while standing in front of a burning building.
Velshi then goes on to try to justify what was going on. This is insane. People will die. But there’s little to see here. Unbelievable!
This tweet probably says it best.

MSNBC is telling you to reject what you are literally seeing with your own eyes. If you are a good, compliant citizen, you will do this. If you are an American who believes in this country, you will take note of this attack on our ability to see and hear and understand.
A few more images of protests that are “not generally speaking unruly.”

And who has been running Minneapolis for a very long time? Minneapolis has not had a Republican mayor in over 40 years. The police were hired and trained under Democratic policies. The police enforced the law under the policies of Democratic mayors.
This is the reason that MSNBC is trying to downplay the riots. The riots now appear to be spreading to other Democratic urban areas around the country. It is another desperate attempt to distract the public from the failures of the Democratic Party.
I think the real question here is just how many of these agitators are from out of town. During the Baltimore riots, it was conclusively shown that out-of-town agitators were the primary sources of much of the unrest that literally destroyed sections of the city. This was also true in Ferguson during the riots there.
How long will it be before some bobblehead on the MSM finds a way to blame this on PDJT? The Democrats need to deflect the public’s attention from the many different problems that are now emerging. The only way that they can be effective at doing that is if the MSM continues to lie to our faces about what is going on in the country.
