Democrat Praises ‘Free Press’ on CNN Despite the Real Journalists Covering the LA Riots Being on X – Twitchy

Democrat Eric Sorensen went on CNN Sunday to praise the ‘free press’ (meaning CNN and other dishonest propaganda arms of his party) for ‘covering’ the riots in Los Angeles. Of course, CNN’s attempts to cover up what was happening were no match for average citizens in the street genuinely covering the Dem-emboldened destruction and mayhem while streaming and posting it on X. Sorensen seems to be confused that Trump is the one escalating the situation while in reality it’s he and his fellow Dems who are facilitating it and cheering it on.

Check this out. (WATCH)

He means he is grateful the Democrats still have propaganda press that will keep spreading their lies for them.

I guess he thinks the term “free press” is meant to allow totally fictional garbage to be presented as “news.”

it is so hard to listen to these people speak.

Lies cut us all.

On X, many posters saw unfiltered riot footage that was nowhere to be found on CNN and other legacy media outlets on Friday and Saturday.

We saw exactly what was happening, it’s like they forgot we have X now and eyes 👀

The real story is right here on X.
This is where the truth is told.

I’m glad we have @X as we can get the real story and not the lies, misinformation, and propaganda being put forth on @CNN and the rest of the MSM!!

Watching and believing CNN is like choosing to pluck out one’s eyes and then shoving knitting needles into one’s eardrums.

This scene below is what Sorensen wanted, but was happy with no one showing you. He and his fellow Democrats did not want de-escalation. (WATCH)

The protesting was overwhelming violent to law enforcement

In other words, we need to placate the rioters and allow them to interfere with federal law without repurcussion.

Now I get it 🙄

President Donald Trump is not going to placate the Democrat Party’s illegal aliens and other radicals on the ground. 

Instead. Trump truly de-escalated the violent situation to the dismay of Democrats. This is the same location from the previous video, but with the National Guard on the scene on Sunday. (WATCH)

Ummm… correct me if I’m wrong. But isn’t that why the military is now present?… to de-escalate.
And the protection of citizens from the riotous protests????

Trump is doing the right thing! Dems want another summer of love.

Democrats desperately want another Summer of Love. Thankfully, Trump’s not playing that game again.
