COVID-19 Political Risk – Dems Say ‘Yes’ To Antifa Protests, ‘No’
To Trump Rallies Tyler Durden

As hundreds of thousands of Americans take to the streets in
protest at systemic racism, capitalism, rich people, Trump
supporters, white people, straight people, and civilized people (we
are sure we are missing some instigators of violence here),
politicians, leaders, and the liberal intelligentsia went out of
their way to explain how COVID-19 had become a ‘woke’ virus of
sorts.
On June 4, more than 1,200 public-health experts
signed a letter saying the protests were “vital to the
national public health and to the threatened health specifically of
black people in the United States…
“…as public health advocates, we do not condemn these
gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission. We support
them as vital to the national public health and to the threatened
health specifically of Black people in the United States.… This should not be confused with a permissive stance
on all gatherings, particularly protests against stay-home
orders. ”
One protester in Minneapolis even
claimed,
“Yes, corona is happening. It’s real, it’s deadly. But
racism kills way more lives.”
We’d like to see the ‘math’ on that one.
This hypocritical malarkey was already exposed when considering
the rabid reaction to “peaceful protesters” who urged their
local officials nationwide to ease the lockdown and let
them be free once again.
However, Democratic Party hypocrisy just went to
’11’ after President trump announced plans to restart his
infamously well-attended rallies.
U.S. Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., said in a tweet this week…
The president’s plan to hold
mass rallies in Florida and elsewhere as we experience a resurgence
in COVID cases is irresponsible and selfish. https://t.co/G6tdqua70c— Rep. Val Demings (@RepValDemings)

And,
as SaraACarter.com notes, Demings was not the only democrat to
call out Trump rallies, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont also
tweeted:
“Trump wants 15,000 delegates cheering him at his GOP
convention in Florida. No social distancing. His rejection
of medical advice endangers not only those there but those they
come in contact with. Trump’s a threat to the health and
well-being of the country. He must be defeated.”

And of course, no one has the least bit of shame in proclaiming
this total and utter hypocrisy!
