No, CHOP in Seattle was strictly Antifa and BLM in fact BLM complained that Antifa was trying to hijack their cause, so you failed on that, the same with Portland BLM and Antifa controlled that city as well.Yes, those peaceful protests during the day that were hijacked near every night by looters and thugs....There was no leftist insurrection or uprising, there were George Floyd killing, protests daily....Clyburn blamed the riots on others............never condemned the leftist uprising.The Democrats didn't speak out against rioting during blm protests... is simply another right wing lie, regurgitated.
Fact check: Democrats have condemned violence linked to BLM, anti-fascist protests
A post claims that no Democrats have advocated for an end to violence by BLM and antifa. That is false — Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and others have.www.usatoday.com
Top Democrats told Black Lives Matter activists to steer clear of violence
Multiple high-profile Democrats have spoken out against violence at Black Lives Matter protests, sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer in May.
On May 31, the fifth night of demonstrations, former Vice President Joe Biden, the party’s presumptive nominee, wrote in a statement that protesting police brutality is “right and necessary” and the “American response."
“But burning down communities and needless destruction is not,” Biden wrote. “Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.”

On June 3, Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., the majority whip of the House of Representatives, told The Washington Post that the movement for racial justice suffers when it is “hijacked” by violence.
"We have to make sure we do not allow ourselves to play the other person’s game,” Clyburn said. “Peaceful protest is our game. Violence is their game. Purposeful protest is our game. This looting and rioting, that's their game. We cannot allow ourselves to play their game."
Clyburn said he encourages young activists to remember the “purpose” of their efforts: “to make a better country, a better world, for those who must come after us.”
“Breaking out a window will not contribute to that. Setting a fire, throwing stones at police officers, that’s destructive behavior, which will not contribute to anything that will make this a better country and make a better future for our children and our grandchildren,” he said.
Major fail.
And renegade from all different gangs at night including boogooloo boys, and proud boys who killed people....
No one was trying to illegally and forcefully stop the certification of the duely elected President by a joint session of congress in the Capitol.....
You mean the protests and the riots, like in Seattle or Portland? The ones that were primarily Antifa and BLM? Those, riots, I mean protests that ended in shootings building being overtaken and blocks becoming miniature cities within the cities where police were not allowed and lawlessness occurred, lives were lost, those protests?
But why are you even trying to compare those protests and riots with this insurrection at the capitol to stop the electoral votes being counted by the joint session of Congress for the federal record?
Where do you even see the comparison? Other than both situations have peaceful protesters in the far ground?
I am not nor did I compare the two, I object to the left downplaying what happened over the summer and claiming it was peaceful and BLM and Antifa were not culpable.
What happened on 1/6 was a riot and those that participated should be punished.
I am staying consistent, you are making excuses and trying to change history.
