Get ready for the 2025 version of “mostly peaceful protest.”
It’s “a small part of the city.”
Even liberal media know it looks bad when Mexican flag-waving punks are wearing skull masks and setting fire to cars. It’s hard to paint President Trump as a fascist when protesters from another country are inciting violence and looting. They’re desperate to minimize what’s going on, to suggest that it’s Trump who is inflaming the situation and not the rioters themselves.
