That and the video of Lori Lightfoot justifying banning protests in her neighborhood alongside pics of the St. Louis idiots waving assault weapons at the peaceful protesters.

It's their style and the timing is right.

(2,022 posts)12. Trump and the GOP don't have to pay them
They are happy to make Trump campaign ads for free. And I doubt they have much interest in politics, or even BLM.

Do they even know what they are protesting?
