Dude, this "backlash" is fucking unreal. I couldn't stomach watching more than five seconds of that smirking bitch; how anybody outside the alt-right bubble could both-sides this speaks volumes about one's empathy and priorities. "Out of context" my ass.
Snowden if I recall.
anti west pro russianI honestly find GG's career arc baffling. Like, I don't understand what perspective/position/politics would explain all of his behavior.
Because anything to punch left
Quoting myself from PoliERA because this shit makes my blood boil.
On Reddit there are a lot of users that are posting a one hour (or longer) video and saying that if you watch it you will see that the Native American protestor approached the MAGA teens and began beating his drum. These Reddit users are also claiming that the people in the video shouting slurs are Black Israelites.
So there appears to be three groups:
1) The Pro-Life rally people, which includes the MAGA teens.
2) The Native American man, who was part of a coinciding Native American event.
3) Black Israelites.
I haven't watched the video.
Am I correct so far in identifying the three main parties that were there?
This is interesting coming from someone who likes to cast anyone not in line with your exact politics as some sort of ***CENTRIST***
Yep. It's times like these where you really find out how much more valued straight white men are in comparison to minorities by societyI love how these MAGA trash have people tripping all over themselves to find an excuse for them. Yet when minority children are killed unlawfully, same dipshits are looking for any way to justify what happened to them.
"They were no angel!"
You would never, ever, ever see right wing talking heads trip over themselves to appease the left, the way the left does to appease the very people who hate their guts. What was there to jump to conclusions to? Those fuckers were mocking the indigenous elder. I saw that with my own eyes. Also, considering that these assholes were assembled there to protest women's right to their own bodies, bigotry was their agenda from the moment they descended on the place.The View today lead in with Whoopi and Joy and the rest of the liberal women saying how wrong the media got it, and to not always jump to conclusions.
Though Joy did say she wanted to jump to conclusions because she hates Trump.

New York (CNN Business)Twitter suspended an account on Monday afternoon that helped spread a controversial encounter between a Native American elder and a group of high school students wearing Make America Great Again hats.
The account claimed to belong to a California schoolteacher. Its profile photo was not of a schoolteacher, but of a blogger based in Brazil, CNN Business found. Twitter suspended the account soon after CNN Business asked about it.
The account, with the username @2020fight, was set up in December 2016 and appeared to be the tweets of a woman named Talia living in California. "Teacher & Advocate. Fighting for 2020," its Twitter bio read. Since the beginning of this year, the account had tweeted on average 130 times a day and had more than 40,000 followers.
Racist Homophobic Black Israelite
Anti-women's choice MAGA hat teens
Native American guy, who may or may not be a vietnam vet, that says he was walking towards to the landmark to finish his prayer but was surrounded even though later video shows he purposefully walked up to the kids face and started beating his drum.
Internet posters that say they want to break a kid's jaw for smirk face.
It's a controversy stew.
Greenwald is a libertarian who has worked for the Cato Institute. "Progressive" my ass.

Having only seen the initial photo and outrage when the story first broke and seeing all the new information now, I honestly don't know if anyone is free of blame since it seems like all parties had a role in the situation. It does seem like the original framing of the story was wrong though even if the MAGA teens are still racists... I don't know what to believe.Racist Homophobic Black Israelite

Early news reports that weren't 100% accurate.
Twitter account that spread short viral video of the incident was removed by Twitter, assumably because it was a Russian troll account.

CNN reporting that Twitter has suspended the account that helped amplify/magnify the video.

A lot of people just remember shitty posts....do you have my all my posts in a folder on your desktop or something? 😬
I stand by my post and should probably point out that there's a difference between a shit post and creating an entire thread based on a false premise to push a narrative but anyway...A lot of people just remember shitty posts.
It's a blessing and a curse.
They did end up mocking the Native protesters, but the racial nature of that mocking is suspect and the "intimidation" by that one smirking teen is not a really viable interpretation. You can surmise that a bunch of white teenagers wearing MAGA hats at a March for Life rally are probably racist though, so there was likely racial insults being hurled at some point, but you cannot hear anything specifically racist.
