Someone needs to explain to these dangerous clowns what an “insurrection” actually looks like. The propagandists on Sunday’s Fox & Friends Weekend used footage of Trump’s ICE thugs tear gassing and pummeling protesters as proof that Trump should get even more aggressive and use the Insurrection Act to cause even more chaos.
Here’s the back and forth between cohosts Charlie Hurt, Lisa Boothe and Griff Jenkins, where they attacked Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Oregon Attorney general Dan Rayfield and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for telling the truth about Trump’s manufactured crisis with calls to escalate it. This is the same routine we saw from Fox over and over again during the Black Lives Matter protests.
JENKINS: And you know governor Pritzker’s pushback is really defies some actual reality of what’s happening there that Broadview, Illinois facility where we have seen the attacks increasing yesterday. Literally a car, an armed individual in a car that rammed, blocking the ICE agents literally.
Let’s go deeper into that so here’s what JB Pritzker’s been saying he says “I want to be clear. There is no need for military troops on the ground in the state of Illinois.”
