CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 30, 2020
LIVE CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS CAN BE BORING, OR THEY CAN BE REVEALING. YESTERDAY’S HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HEARING WAS REVEALING. ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAM BARR MADE THE CASE FOR SENDING FEDERAL AGENTS INTO AMERICAN CITIES WHERE LOCAL AND STATE AUTHORITIES HAVE FAILED – OR NEVER TRIED – TO QUELL VIOLENCE DIRECTED AT FEDERAL BUILDINGS AND PEOPLE. HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR WEAPONS? THEY INCLUDE BALOONS FILLED WITH FLAMMABLE LIQUID, INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH FIREWORKS, GUNS AND OTHER ITEMS INTENDED TO HARM.
DEMOCRATS ON THE COMMITTEE WANTED TO MAKE POLITICAL POINTS, NOT GAIN INFORMATION. THEY INTERRUPTED BARR, SOMETIMES NOT LETTING HIM ANSWER A QUESTION. ONE MEMBER KEPT TALKING OVER HIM, DEMANDING, “I RECLAIM MY TIME.”
THE MAJOR MEDIA IGNORED THE BAD BEHAVIOR BY THE DEMOCRATS, CHOOSING TO REPORT THE FICTION THAT THE PROTESTS IN PORTLAND, SEATTLE AND OTHER CITIES ARE “MOSTLY PEACEFUL,” SOMETHING LIKE A MOSTLY PEACEFUL WEEKEND IN CHICAGO WHERE 51 PEOPLE WERE SHOT LAST WEEKEND.
BARR IS RIGHT TO SEND IN FEDERAL REINFORCEMENTS. THE LEFTY MAYORS ARE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SEND IN THE CLOWNS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
