You implied it was Trump's fault. You're just such a pussy that you generally leave yourself a lot of wiggle room. Come back when you're ready to actually take a position.

You just did.
Quote:Violence from either side is reprehensible. However, you've just showed protesters and called them unhinged because they're angry? You'll have to do better than that.
OK, how about Eric Clanton? You know, the college professor who joined an antifa mob and attacked 7 people with a bike lock. Is that better?
Quote:A guy with a gun shot at a bunch of Republicans (not super recently, but still), and you're like "Look at these angry people! They're so angry! They must be unhinged!" Derp. You've got better ammunition.
See above.

If that is what RR is basing his belief upon, it's yet another example of the right taking something, twisting it to say something it doesn't say, and then pushing that false narrative to the faithful like RR who eat it up without thinking twice. It was probably a stupid thing for Ellison to do, but it doesn't show he supports Antifa, much less that supporting movements like Antifa is representative of the left as a whole.
Yeah, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that if a Republican politician tweeted a picture of himself holding a book about the KKK, you'd say he was supporting the KKK.
Be honest with yourself.
