‘Incitement’: Cori Bush Called Out For Rittenhouse Remarks, Claims White Supremacists Shot At Her

"'When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us'" (Daily Wire, Nov. 2021). 

"The Washington Post’s fact-check previously reported:

'[Kamala] Harris and [Elizabeth] Warren have ignored the findings of the Justice Department to accuse [police officer Darren] Wilson of murder, even though the Justice Department found no credible evidence to support that claim. Instead, the Justice Department found that the popular narrative was wrong, according to witnesses deemed to be credible, some of whom testified reluctantly because of fear of reprisal. The department produced a comprehensive report to determine what happened, making the senators’ dismissal of it even more galling. Harris and Warren both earn Four Pinocchios.'"

"
Ferguson Police Chief Frank McCall Jr. said on Monday that he was not aware of any record of [shoots fired at Cori Bush]occurring, according to the 
St. Louis Post-Dispatch." 

The COP26 Summit and the Global Age of Shams

"COP26 was the kind of hollow ritual that characterized Carlyle’s Age of Shams. As one politician after another committed their countries to carefully crafted unenforceable pledges, none had the bad manners to observe that no country anywhere fully honored the climate pledges made with such fanfare in Paris six years ago. Even the pledges are insufficient to meet the stated goals of the U.N. climate process, and nobody is keeping the pledges" (Mead, WSJ, Nov. 2021)

Hypocrisy much?

Dan Rather and Elliot Kirschner are shocked the Rs would repeat the phrase, "Let's Go Brandon". Did they object to what Rashida Tlaib said about Trump or what Robert De Niro said to a standing ovation? Will they voice similar concerns about groups affiliated with the Ds, like Sunshine. Perhaps they allow people to use the actual vulgar terms but not euphemisms. Or, maybe they allow Ds to be vulgar but not Rs.
