Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom Blame Democrat Rioters' Violence on Trump

They're doing everything they can to avoid criticizing their antifa street militias, Hamas jihadists, and foreign invaders for their violence.

This is a MAJOR rule of antifa and other violent black block street paramilitaries: You must never, NEVER criticize your fellow left-wing "protesters" for their violence.

They call this "respecting a diversity of tactics." In other words, you might favor non-violent protest, but if your fellow left-wing allies resort to arson, assault, and even murder in the name of your cause, you must not criticize them or point out the terrorists to the police. There is a "diversity of tactics" permitted in "protests," and everyone on the left must respect antifa's and BLM's choice to engage in wanton arson, looting, and violent assaults.

Dave Reaboi and Kyle Shideler wrote about this in October 2020, as antifa and related Democrat street paramilitaries organized to shut the entire country down if Trump won the election. Well, he did win it; I mean, if the effort to "fortify" the election was thwarted.

They wrote of the plan to deploy peaceful protesters mixed in with violent sociopaths, who the peaceful protesters would be made to support and defend.

The two groups are curious in their similarities and differences. While the Shutdown DC group appears to be made up of environmental anarchists--and sponsored by a self-described Antifa group--its organizers are seasoned and professionally-trained, and at least one is a union organizer. "Hold the Line" is more academic in appearance; it draws its organizers from the non-profit advocacy and digital tech worlds. Because of its focus on nonviolent street action and mobilization, this document appears to be targeting liberals closer to the mainstream.
These two approaches--tailored to two specific types of audiences along the radicalization path--work together in what left-wing organizers have long called, "diversity of tactics." Without using the term, the authors of "Stopping the Coup: The 2020 Guide" addressed this point.

It's important to locate strategic thinking, and offer strategic tools at the grassroots level. If our different organizations, crews, and affinity groups have a shared understanding of the strategy involved we can accommodate different tactics, different groups taking lead on actions at different times, and trust that individual participants and organizers can move with confidence that they are furthering movement goals. This doesn't mean that every group you try to organize with immediately will be the right fit for the fight. It's ok to set an agenda and invite participation and allow groups to choose. (Emphasis added.)

Choose violence, they mean.

Participants in nonviolent efforts must not be made to directly condemn the violent direct-actions of others in the coalition. Rather than a moral or ethical objection to violence, this is a strategy that allows both violent and non-violent approaches to exist on a continuum. While politicians, law enforcement, and even some conservative commentators may criticize Antifa and other violent direct-action anarchists, all are publicly insisting that Antifa are merely unwanted agitators in the midst of legitimate protests.
But this is wrong. In any given protest, the "agitators" and the "legitimate protestors" are, instead, two products of the same industry which exist in a symbiotic relationship, and may even share overt memorandums regarding agreement on tactics. While Antifa relies upon the mass protest in order to hide among the crowd, the public destruction committed by Antifa draws attention and adds urgency to the political demands of the larger movement.

This is exactly the imperative behind official Democrat-Media Party messaging right now: We must never condemn our violent revolutionary foot-soldiers. We will deny that they are violent at all, and, when that fails, we will simply say that Trump provoked the Peaceful Protesters into violence.

Kamala Harris respects antifa's Diversity of Tactics.

Kamala Harris broke her silence more than 30 hours after violent immigration riots erupted in Los Angeles--but aimed her fire at President Trump, not the protesters. She called the National Guard deployment a "dangerous escalation," accusing Trump of stoking fear.
Key Details:
Harris posted a statement to X late Sunday, saying Trump's decision to send in the National Guard "is meant to provoke chaos," accusing the administration of using fear to divide Americans.
Harris praised the ongoing demonstrations, calling them "overwhelmingly peaceful," despite viral footage showing protesters hurling rocks, torching vehicles, and vandalizing federal property.
Her comments echoed those of California Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, who called the National Guard deployment "inflammatory" and a "chaotic escalation."

This is official antifa protocol in operation: Never, ever condemn or even criticize the left's black bloc rioters and arsonists. Deny they're doing anything at all, and when that fails, suggest that their violent response to police (and shoe stores) is justified by the "provocation" they've endured.

Obviously Maxine Waters, a major instigator and defender of the disastrous 1992 Rodney King riots, supports a "diversity of tactics" when fighting Whitey.

Tensions flared again in Los Angeles this week as Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) joined anti-ICE demonstrators on the streets, escalating a volatile situation with harsh rhetoric aimed at federal agents and National Guard troops deployed by President Trump.
The California Democrat, a longtime defender of sanctuary cities, was captured on video berating National Guard troops standing outside the Los Angeles Federal Building -- where ICE agents had taken refuge following days of violent protests. The National Guard was activated after mobs swarmed immigration enforcement operations, attacked federal vehicles, and lit fires across downtown L.A.
"Why do you have guns?" Waters shouted at the soldiers. "What are you going to do, you going to shoot some kid who's afraid of you and runs? You going to shoot an elected official? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight."
Waters continued her tirade, accusing the Trump administration of bypassing California officials to deploy troops in an "outrageous attempt to not only target our sanctuary city but to frighten us and intimidate us."

Sean Spicer from 2Way points out that an elected Democrat assemblyman seemed to deliberately instigate the attack on the ICE building. He went to the site, before any riots, running video and "warning" -- more like "cheerleading" -- that "something is going to happen here," and posted that video on TikTok. He was effectively encouraging people to the building and make that "something" happen. He was summoning the rioters.

And obviously Gavin Newsom supports a "diversity of tactics" by his antifa and Hamas jihadi allies. Even though local police departments have confessed they cannot stop the violence, he is suing Trump to leave his antifa and jihadist allies continue their Mostly Peaceful Deadly Assaults on cops.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is threatening to sue the Trump Administration after President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles County in response to riots over stepped-up federal immigration enforcement.
In an appearance on MSNBC late Sunday, Newsom called the federal move an "unconstitutional act," and accused the Trump Administration of bypassing state authority. The Democrat governor doubled down in a social media post, saying, "Commandeering a state's National Guard without consulting the Governor of that state is illegal and immoral."
"Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight. He's exacerbated the conditions. He's, you know, lit the proverbial match. He's putting fuel on this fire, ever since he announced he was taking over the National Guard -- an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act," Newsom said on MSNBC.

The problem is never antifa, the black bloc, or the Hamas jihadists literally gunning down Jews in the streets.

The problem is always the people who "provoke" them into committing murder and mayhem.

The Democrat-Media Party two-step on violence committed by their allied street paramilitaries:

1, It's not happening

2, Okay it's happening, but the fascists forced us to burn their cars

He's reckless. He's immoral. He's taken the illegal and unconstitutional act of federalizing the national guard and he's putting lives at risk.

It's my job to clean up Donald Trump's mess, because he's making it by the hour.

There is a "diversity of tactics" permitted in "protests," and everyone on the left must respect antifa's and BLM's choice to engage in wanton arson, looting, and violent assaults.

It all comes down to the second rule of the left: never do or say anything that might assist your enemy. See, Bill Clinton was able to do this strategically but nobody else seems to get it.

-----------
That's a linguistic "tell". Anytime somebody *combines* words when one would be plenty (and correct), i.e. "illegal and immoral". IF an act is "illegal", to one sworn to uphold the law or one who believes in the rule of law the fact the he/she believes it to ALSO be "immoral" is irrelevant. Anytime you see the words combined, the speaker doesn't *really* believe the act "illegal"--if they did, they would simply call it that.

28 All good stuff. Have followed Shideler's stuff for a while.

But seems to me, while correct, also very over-determined.

Bass is a vapid black political class grifter, standard issue. She has time and ties to Cuban intel!!!! OK. Doesn't change a thing. She - and dozens of others exactly like her - have, and will, act exactly the same way, say exactly the same things.

Newsom is a vapid coastal class sub-mediocre political "elite" dummy. No ties to Cuban intel. No ties to Chy-nah (any more than Boeing, Harvard, or the Fortune 100, anyway). He - and dozens of others exactly like him - have, and will, act exactly the same way, say exactly the same things.

Blaming Trump is of course absurd. But 98% of all anti-Trump political discourse is absurd, always has been. Nothing new here. Just a country possibly degraded enough to accept this idiocy. We'll see.

I learned that when I got a job for the Summer in Hawaii. You want some racism?

Dems don't have a messaging problem (as in not having a good, appealing message). But, the MSM is all owned by the m/billionaire class that the Dems cannot get their message to the swing voters and middle class viewers of the MSM. We have coordinate our message to umpteen lesser viewed outlets, and hope the message can get through.

it is definitely an unfair playing field to put it mildly. But it is what it is. Cohesion of messaging and repetition is one way to fight that.

149 The bare-bones factual review @85 by JackStraw sez exactly what I was about to, since it seems (understandably) that many are foggy on the basics here.

ICE collars 4 seriously dirtbag criminals (convicted, serious crimes including murder). LAPD/Sheriffs (I guess, in latter case) refuse to provide back-up or support to federal law enforcement, in this case ICE. Mob attacks and menaces main ICE facility, and personnel, as retaliation for nabbing 4 really bad criminals (on judicial warrants - in other words, arresting fugitives).

Nat. Guard pulled in to provide basic defensive security at facilities (really doubt they'll accompany ICE on raids - they have BORTAC, the BP's SWAT outfit, for that).

So LA and CA are in effect actively impeding basic federal law enforcement, to include inciting (more) violence against them. This is outrageous. It's not about a few blocks and cars getting trashed downtown - that's purely a local matter. The important and basic part of the story is the other stuff.

Now notice this. They are always conflating the claim that the election was invalid as "incitement". They count "Fight like Hell" and ignore "Peacefully make your voices heard".

For any sane person, those would be offsetting. So the claim that the election was invalid--the thing that inspired the protest IS their "incitement".

So, by claiming that ICE is acting illegally?.....

173 "Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom Blame Democrat Rioters' Violence on Trump"

And this is how you get a Strongman leader to act more strongly. The Left doesn't seem to get this irony.

When the vast majority of the population witnesses this ~~protesting~~ rioting, they get pissed. Almost no normal person wants street thuggery especially when the authorities have the blessing of the citizens to correct a problem. In this case, a practical and literal invasion of foreign, mostly illegal, immigrants/aliens have besieged the nation via a previously corrupted government. Legal citizens want this corrected and resolved. These organized thugs and their proxy leaders do not.

So, when citizens see rioting, they notice their demands being usurped. The result? More and more people gravitate to a stronger leader to implement increasingly proactive action. And if the riots/violence continues, then citizens will not just look away if the government gets more violent; they will demand it.

So the illegals/BLM/Antifa/etc are actually paving the path for a "fascist" to take over and solve a problem/issue they have been demanding to get resolved. They are incubating the next "Hitler".

Has been for a while now.

But ultimately this is a fight over power and money and control. The left's goals require a huge body of new voters and people to establish congressional control, and they are fighting like hell to make sure they keep that. Bodies will hit the ground before they give ground or lose, if they even ever do.

For them, this is life or death. Any tactics, any behavior, any action is justified by their religious zealotry. They believe they are doing holy work and that their opponents are evil and must be stopped at any price.

At the time, I thought they were "good"...ish. Now that all the music from that period has aged, I think the "roster" of musicians that played anything approaching "rock" was SO THIN that we allowed ourselves to like bands like that. To me personally, once we got past Alice in Chains and Soundgarden and Nirvana...we were dealing with glorified garage bands rather than really special musicians.

But I'm picky that way.

The activation of the Marines is intended to provide Task Force 51 with adequate numbers of forces to provide continuous coverage of the area in support of the lead federal agency.

Task Force 51 is U.S. Army North’s Contingency Command Post, which provides a rapidly deployable capability to partner with civil authorities and DoD entities in response to a Homeland Defense and Homeland Security Operations. It is commanded by Maj. Gen. Scott M. Sherman.

Task Force 51 is comprised of approximately 2,100 National Guard soldiers in a Title 10 status and 700 active-duty Marines. Task Force 51 forces have been trained in de-escalation, crowd control, and standing rules for the use of force.
