My latest in PJ Media:
Amid the numerous insane reactions on the Left to the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the one from disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-Nursing Homes) didn’t rate high on the hysteria meter. Nonetheless, Cuomo’s words revealed a great deal, likely more than he intended, about the mindset of the Left today and its sinister agenda for the future.
Cuomo tweeted: “Today’s verdict is a stain on the soul of America, & sends a dangerous message about who & what values our justice system was designed to protect[.] We must stand unified in rejecting supremacist vigilantism & with one voice say: this is not who we are.”
A man who left thousands of people to die of COVID in nursing homes and is accused of multiple incidents of sexual harassment would be well-advised to think twice before talking about stains on the soul, but far worse is that Cuomo would have us believe that the acquittal of a man who clearly acted in self-defense “sends a dangerous message about who & what values our justice system was designed to protect.” Despite the fact that no evidence whatsoever was presented at the trial to support the establishment media claim echoed by Old Joe Biden that Kyle Rittenhouse is a “white supremacist,” Cuomo still decries “supremacist vigilantism.”
It is enlightening to imagine Cuomo’s ideal world. Apparently, he is trying to convince those who still take him seriously, if there are any such people, that Rittenhouse was acquitted because he was white, and that his acquittal is a manifestation of that “white privilege” the Left is so upset about these days. And his dismissal of Rittenhouse’s acting in self-defense as “supremacist vigilantism” is even worse: apparently, as far as Cuomo and his ilk are concerned, there is no right to self-defense when one is white and defending himself from violent Leftist rioters, as was Rittenhouse.
Rep. Judy Chu (D-California SSR)’s reaction to the verdict was similar to Cuomo’s, albeit more succinct. Chu tweeted simply: “Our gun laws are protecting the wrong people.” On the surface, this doesn’t seem that bad — not remotely in the same league with the frothing hysteria of the likes of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and even the “angry and concerned” Joe Biden. However, Chu’s eight words look worse the longer one thinks about them.
Who, in the first place, are the “wrong people”? White people, of course, and especially white people who are defending themselves from rioting Leftist mobs. Cuomo and Chu are attempting to undercut and ultimately destroy the idea that any resistance, any resistance at all, to the violent Left is acceptable. When the likes of Anthony Huber, Joseph Rosenbaum, and Gaige Grosskreutz come to your city and start rioting, you must not interfere with them, even if they storm your home and threaten your family. You can’t do anything. The authoritarian Left is taking over, and it will brook no dissent and no resistance. You must submit, because you are evil, a beneficiary of privilege due to the color of your skin, and so your subjugation is a simple matter of justice and the redress of ancient grievances.
There is more. Read the rest here.

The left want the want the local police in blue Cities and States to look the other way when armed thugs ,,thugs armed with as in this case using “gas bombs” rocks, skateboards , and unregistered illegal obtained handguns attack you. If you fight back to defend your life from a mob with a register legally obtained rifle and your white you are wrongly fighting back .If someone is trying to kick your head to mush as you lie on the ground you should let them. If someone tries to grab your rifle as you lie on the ground and take it from you as they threaten to murder you let them. If someone chases you till you fall down raise a handgun at you , you should let yourself be shot .

“The authoritarian Left is taking over, and it will brook no dissent and no resistance. You must submit, because you are evil … “
Absolutely agree with RS. The takeover has begun on all fronts and the Left will use any means to achieve it.
This is why shaking conservatives out the US military has been underway – it is an essential objective for the Left – they want to use it to crush any and all resistance, if necessary, like all freedom squelching Totalitarians do.
Evil projects as the it completes its projects.
America, do not be gaslighted !!!

This mass-murdering, sex-perverted, liar, is doing just what satan the devil did when he told Eve that God was the bad One, withholding something good from her, something that would make her better than she was….lying in order to induce her into worhsipping him instead of the One Who had given her life.
“That’s not who we are,” uttered by the mozlum ‘bo’ more than once…(glad not to be who he is, thank God for that) and glad not to be the same as this sleaze from NY.
Trying to guilt us all into their way of *thinking* and behaving. Evil, they are.

If Rittenhouse was a radical Leftist and the guys attacking him were Conservatives, Cuomo would be gushing about what a great hero he was for defending himself against the violent thugs.
It’s laughable how divided and hyperpartisan the US is, but frankly it occurs on both sides to be fair. I’ve posted center-Left views on FoxNews and other right-wing sites and have been censored, had my posts deleted and sometimes I’ve been outright banned. So the Right is just as much culpable of censorship as the Left.
I used to lean Left until I came across professors on the center and the right and it just made me more open-minded. Both sides are objectively right on certain issues and wrong on others. There are good and bad people in both camps. If people started listening to the other side more, they could find common ground on some issues.
Americans should be proud to put the 2A in the Constitution, every nation should. The right to self-defense is the ultimate right, but the 2A goes further in that it allows people to have armed militias to overthrow fascist govts, I think that’s bold and brilliant.
Without his AR15, chances are that Rittenhouse would be killed or seriously injured, perhaps even paralyzed by the angry mob of Left fascists. That’s what the Left wants, their enemies to be crushed and forgotten. It’s no surprise they feel sympathy towards Muslims, fascists of a feather flock together.

“this is not who we are”
I have no idea who the hell you are as that changes in accordance with your leftist mobs. Why don’t we just acknowledge that your group and our group are so different that we cannot coexist with each other and move on. I wonder how cuomo would react if a mob set upon him.
James Lincoln says
Andrew Cuomo is incapable of being shamed…
Walter Sieruk says
As for “Andrew Cuomo’s reaction to the Rittenhouse Verdict” The response of the American people to Cuomo’s reaction should rightly be “Who cares what that awful corrupt sex offender and incompetent politician feels , thinks or says.”
Westman says
Somehow his brother, Chris, at CNN suddenly developed some logic and declared the Rittenhouse verdict, “justified by the law and the facts here”. An incredible admission for CNN. Maybe they have discovered the Woke Go Broke when the boogeyman is gone. The independent voters are beginning to question the Left.
gravenimage says
Thanks for that information, Westman. Surprising.
Infidel says
Nothing like a disgraced sex offender who had to resign from his post telling us what the verdict in another trial should have been
OLD GUY says
Cuomo is a stain on American leadership. But then all you have to do is look at the current dirty politicians attempting to run the country to see the real stain, Go Brandon and friends.
