In the famous words of Woody Allen, 80% of success is
showing up.
And both of the presidential candidates showed up to Kenosha
this week, and the contrast couldn’t be more clear.
President Trump showed up to survey the damage done by the
rioters and to pledge aid for police protection for this middle American
community. Of course, he was excoriated
by the press for political opportunism, and asked by Governor Evers not to come,
which made Trump even more determined to pay an in person visit. The
images were surreal and frightening.
Trump strolled around streets that looked more like 1945 Berlin than
2020 Kenosha, Wisconsin. Trump did
exactly as he should have done-met with the citizens to provide support and
pledge financial assistance. Former
governor Scott Walker attributes the calming of Kenosha after three days of
rampaging to Trump’s pledge of support for the city (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/sep/3/donald-trump-saved-kenosha-period/).
Now, after criticizing Trump for his visit to Kenosha,
Democrat Joe Biden immediately seized on the opportunity and followed Trump
into Wisconsin, a state which Democrats have apparently developed an
inexplicable allergy to. In contrast to
Trump, who focused on the devastation to the community, Biden’s focus was on
the Blake family. He met with members of
Blake’s family, spoke with Blake’s father and instead of making comments
against the background of the rubble, he chose the incongruous backdrop of a
church.
In the interim, we learned that Blake, Sr. had previously
posted hateful and anti-semitic messages on social media, and that Blake, Jr.
has a long and sordid history of crime and abuse of his girlfriend. Indeed the warrant that was issued for his
arrest was for sexual assault and he had committed despicable acts with this
woman. His girlfriend also claimed that
Jacob would get drunk, show up and beat her a couple of times a year.
Let’s be clear. There
were multiple victims in Kenosha. There
were the innocent business owners whose businesses were ravaged by the
mayhem. These are the people that Trump
pledged to support, and, Trump was entirely justified in visiting Kenosha for
that purpose; it is a primary function of government to support and protect
these people from people that would destroy their property and livelihoods.
But lost in this entire twisted episode is the first
victim--- the woman Blake accosted and assaulted. Democrats routinely stake themselves out as
the party of women, but when it came right down to it, when a vulnerable woman
was brutally assaulted by a savage and inhuman punk, the leading Democratic
candidate for president sided with the punk.
He spoke with both the perpetrator and his father, who reared this
little beast. He had no time for the
woman Blake victimized. So much for
women’s empowerment. Blake has a
GoFundMe account set up for him and last I saw, it amounted to a couple million
bucks. The funds for Blake’s victim and
the business owners? Hmmm.
The only legitimate reason for a government official to
speak to Blake Sr. would have been to ask him how he feels about raising such a
sociopathic feral creature. Perhaps Biden
felt a special bond with Blake, Sr., having raised a no-account, misogynist, scofflaw
himself.
But this is not today’s Democratic party. Today’s Democrats now unashamedly embrace Louis Farrakhan and
people of his ilk—hateful, resentful, anti-semitic, anti-white, black
separatist. It could care less about
victimized women (except, of course, if they make up stories to attempt to
derail a Supreme Court justice). It was
shocking to see Bill Clinton appear on the same stage with Farrakhan at Aretha
Franklin’s funeral two years ago. But
now we know that the fringe elements like Farrakhan and Linda Sarsour have moved solidly to the
base of the Democratic party.
In a few days, the two presidential candidates defined their
constituents. Trump stood with the
citizens and Biden with the perpetrators.
