Many on the right are blaming the riot on Antifa. Their logic is that the right could NEVER have done such a thing so it was obviously an infiltration by Antifa. Foxnews and Matt Gaetz have been pushing this narrative.

Okay, this "it was an antifa false flag"-talking point is completely ridiculous. Still, that's a rationalization to deflect blame for a bad event, not a disagreement with the idea that what happened indeed was bad.

Victims were majority white (52%) but disproportionately black (32%) with a *fatality rate 2.8 times higher among blacks* than whites. Most victims were reported to be armed (83%); however, black victims were more likely to be unarmed (14.8%) than white (9.4%) or Hispanic (5.8%) victims.

Ahuh.

Well, I think he is still one of the most influential (though his audience definitely skews older) people in right-wing media. There's no short-term fix for this.

He has terminal cancer, so, this will, uh... fix itself.

Blacks are 8x more likely to murder cops. If we wanted to treat them fairly, we would have to shoot them more.



Thomas Jefferson would get a chubby watching the protest.

I'm referring to right wing media in general. It's become more unhinged over the years and the listeners LIKE it. I'd prefer if government didn't get involved but we're running out of solutions here.
