CNN’s Acosta: ‘You Have to Wonder’ if Trump Rallies This Summer Will Lead to Riots Like 1/6
Pam Key 18 Jun 2021
CNN correspondent Jim Acosta said Friday on “The Situation Room” that if former President Donald Trump does political rallies this summer, “you have to wonder” if there will be riots like January 6 at the U.S. Capitol.
Anchor Wolf Blitzer said, “How incredible is it to see some of these Republicans actually going along with all these conspiracies?”
Acosta said, “They’re living in a different world. They’re in the Q-niverse, I guess you could call it. It’s important to note at the beginning of January 6, some of these same Republicans were blaming it on Antifa. Now they’re blaming it on members of the FBI. You have to wonder who’s next?”
Referencing a video of the Capitol riot, Acosta said, “This is disturbing, Wolf. Donald Trump is going to get back out on the campaign trail, stoking these same kinds of passions we saw on January 6. You have to wonder whether or not it’s going to lead to scenes like this.”
He continued, “Remember what happened on January 6th? He gave this speech. He riled up this crowd and sent them off to the Capitol. These folks who are wondering who stormed the Capitol on January 6 can just look in the mirror. It is these folks in these videos who have been identified by law enforcement. It’s clear as day.”
On former Vice President Mike Pence getting yelled at during his speech to the Faith & Freedom Coalition Summit, Acosta added, “This is the same type of hostility we see out on the campaign trail directed at us, directed at his opponents. If Donald Trump gets back out on the campaign trail as he is expected to do this summer, we should expect this same kind of behavior.”

No need to wonder whether Jim Acosta is a jackass, though.

Acosta. Once a douche flute always a douche flute.
-
Wondering must require a maximum effort from Jim Acosta.
-
Well Jim, we sure don't have to speculate if Democrat support will lead to more leftist riots, as it is happening right now.
-
Since the “rioters” organized their thing weeks before Trump’s speech, his speech had zero to do with what happened at the Capitol. Further, Trump has held scores of rallies in the past 6 years, and other than Hate-Trumpers attacking rally attendees, the rallies caused not violence.

Ah, Trump back on tour. What a shock!
This reminds of a kindred type, some 200 years past, who was
a politician, a business type and a showboat; Trump is a clone.
Phineas Barnum served in the Conn. Legislature as a Republican,
then later when Mayor of Bridgeport, as a Democrat. How familiar?
Then he moved on to "business" grasping that this was the the
path to a fat wallet, his core motive. Again so familiar.
Lastly he embraced "entertainment", understanding that there
was an easily impressed 'sucker born every minute'. Indeed.
His legacy is the Circus, a menagerie of loyal freaks and geeks;
a drum he played for many years.
Trump gets a pass for his attitudes and behavior because he
grasps how to cultivate disciples who remain eternally in thrall.
Yet no matter, as his persona has faded for Plain People who have
real lives to live; as well, out of sight takes one out of mind for voters.
-
The Rodents AND the RINOs will conspire to make these Trump rallies violent.
It's how they wrecked the Tea Party movement, too.
-
Yes, due to his rallies, his people will get charged up to riot, however, if he is indicted on criminal charges, these people will definitely riot if that happens. Likely in New York or New York City, or New Jersey where, I believe, he now is.
-
Leftists riot and its called a protest.
Conservative protest and it’s called a riot.
This is just the criminalization of a political point of view.

I guess all of us CONSERVATIVES should just find a hole to crawl into and shut up because obviously think wrong and expressing our opinions is insurrection and treasonous.

P.T. Barnum was far more of a man than you are. He married my widowed Great Great Grandmother, and raised that family like their true father.

Er...............your opinion is yours.
Said Barnum was a politician, a business type and a showboat.
My descriptive derives from his own words & from the record.
Quoting him is hardly a slander and was not my intent!!!

Thank you for that, and for my part I will agree with you P.T. was a con man of the highest order, despite the fact he never said there is a sucker born every minute.
