CNN’s Brianna Keiler, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Blame ‘Right Wing Media’ for Freedom Convoy Protest – Opinion

I’ve written how liberals like Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ottawa city councilor Diane Deans have been trying to blame Americans for the protests in Canada. After trying to smear their fellow Canadians as racists, they’ve now moved on to suggest that it’s Americans behind it all, to negate the opinion of their fellow Canadians and deny that yes, it’s Canadians who are doing this.

CNN and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are now taking that a step further, and trying to blame “right-wing media.”

“Right-wing media is really fueling it,” CNN’s Brianna Keiler claimed.

WHITMER ON FREEDOM CONVOY: “This is an illegal blockade… They don’t have a right to illegally block the largest land-border crossing in North America. Hundreds of millions of dollars a day are being lost.”

“We cannot encourage other people to break the law, especially when it throws other Americans out of work,” Whitmer said. “It’s incredibly dangerous,” she declared, saying they were breaking the law in a way that “devastates so many hard-working people. Families are the victims. This is businesses in America that rely on commerce free-flowing.”

Does she really think so? Is she even self-aware? Do you remember your identity? She can’t even take five days of one bridge blockade affecting her state, when she shut down her state for so long and devastated the economy for millions of families? She doesn’t know the extent of what that has cost Michiganans. It cost so many lives and businesses that they closed down their business. This was one of the toughest state lockdowns. As we’ve reported, a new Johns Hopkins study showed how pointless that all was.

As my colleague Duke observed earlier, Whitmer doesn’t seem to understand “this is what democracy looks like,” to coin a phrase.

Right-wing media may admire the action, but they didn’t cause it nor are they responsible for it. She should lay the blame where it does belong — on the mandates.

Let’s talk about who was fueling what, when we watched people like Whitmer not only locking everyone down but then gave BLM actions a pass, and marched with them after all the riots. Here she is propagating the false story about “Hands up, don’t shoot,” something that never happened. But this is not the end of misinformation.

The BLM Riots saw hundreds of police officers and other victims being attacked. People were also killed and damage was estimated to be billions of millions of dollars. Talk about “incredibly dangerous” and devastating to Americans. This was not what it should have been.

These peaceful protests by thousands of Canadians could be stopped by simply following other nations around the world that have removed restrictions.
