 Democrats Block Resolution Condemning Mob Violence
July 2, 2020 By Jonah Gottschalk

Thursday afternoon, Democrats killed a resolution aimed at curbing mob violence. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) introduced the bill after a man in Utah was mobbed then shot by a group of rioters. The non-binding resolution offered a statement of support for peaceful protesters and law enforcement who do their job well, while condemning violence and the desecration of monuments across the country.

“A non-binding resolution is the tiniest first step of a response,” Lee read as he introduced it. “We need to do much, much more… but in this divided political moment,… showing that Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats are able to speak with one voice against woke mob violence and in defense of equal justice and civic peace would be a welcome step.”

The resolutions itself states that the country was “founded on universal principles of freedom, justice, and human equality.” It also acknowledged that “throughout our nation’s history, Americans have struggled to realize those ideals … but nonetheless made greater progress toward them than any nation on earth.”

Democrats have never met a criminal, despot, dictator, or pervert they have never stood behind.  Condemnation of mob violence goes against their grain.

In 1795, mobs of anarchists, in the thousands, began assaulting and massacring the Swiss Guards
at the Tuileries of Paris, burning everything in sight.
Napoleon in command, placed cannon strategically in Paris and ordered them to fire into the mobs.
The rioting ended within hours !!!
Now weenie Lee proposes a non-binding resolution w/a statement of support for peaceful demonstrators
while condemning violence.
Napoleon was one of the greatest leaders in history while Lee is just another political jackass.
