The cheerleaders suddenly are waving for the crowds to disperse, and now they are pleading for Kamala Harris and her running mate to adopt the very opposition language that has been labeled as ”racist’’ all summer long.

This is such a revealing moment. For tortuous months anyone calling to curtail violence, destruction, attacks on police, and the threats to communities were deemed intolerant. Only now, when it looks bad for the prospects of Democrats, do the sophisticates in the press consider rioting to be condemnable. When it was politically expedient the burning of cities and violence visited on citizens was an acceptable result.
