Larry O'Connor: Why Aren't Any High-Profile Democrats Demanding Their People Stop Rioting and Assaulting People?

Good question.

It should be noted that Leslie Stahl badgered Trump about telling his supporters to stop bullying people. He told them, "Stop it. Stop it now."

When will Leslie Stahl ask Democrats to do likewise?

The answer is, of course, she won't. The Democrats like to maintain the fiction that the more disreputable elements of the leftist coalition have nothing at all to do with the Democrats, despite having Democrats caught on videotape admitting they recruit violent (and even mentally unwell) "protesters," and despite the curious fact than ANSWER and affiliated "protesters" went almost completely silent during Obama's rule.

Funny, isn't it, that they only object to war and income inequality when Democrats are not in the White House?

I'm sure Trump doesn't particularly want to admit that there are any such disreputable elements in his own coalition. This at least partly explains why he hasn't been, as Democrats always demand, always denouncing them all the time.

And if he denounced them every time the media demanded-- which is always -- he'd never have time to talk about anything else.

Which is rather the whole point, just as the whole point of lobbing a frivolous charge of "racism" is to stop someone from making the point he wants to and start deferring to the points you want him to make.

No one particularly wants to admit they have power over such people, because admitting that would be to admit they have any kind of association, however attenuated, with such people in the first place.

Well, the Democrats won't denounce its own violent/intolerant/fascist legions either.

For the same reasons.

And they never denounce shit.

And the media will never ask them to -- because they want to maintain the Democrats' fiction that Obama and Hillary have "nothing to do" with such scum.

Because they are -- obviously, now -- part of the Democratic Party's communication division themselves.

The only people the media will ask Democrats to denounce are the Republicans' disreputable members.

As for the Democrats' own thugs and criminals -- Who? Where? What?

That is, when they're not mockingly laughing about assaults committed on Trump voters by thuggish Obama/Hillary voters.
