Title: Deny, Deny, Deny, Counteraccuse, And Then...
Post by: obumazombie on April 30, 2015, 03:59:07 AM
Deny some more.

Baltimore Mayor said it and she meant it.
She still does, because she hasn't admitted a mistake, or attempted to apologize.
All she has done since is accuse everyone else of being wrong in holding her to her words...

Quote

"It's a very delicate balancing act, because while we tried to make sure that they (protestors) were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well,” Rawlings-Blake said. “We worked very hard to keep that balance and put ourselves in the best position to de-escalate, and that’s what you saw.”

That's the money quote from another inept, incompetent, incapable, inexperienced politician who's only qualification is that she's a lib/dem/socialis/prog minority.

Been catching up, just heard that full audio.  Crazy how elected officials can justify or attempt to explain their words.

Allowing a freight train space to get up speed is a damned stupid strategy for stopping it! And it's not like these riots were the first time police have faced rioters & looters! (http://pjmedia.com/blog/dunphy-baltimore/)

The police were under orders from the incompetent Mayor.
I don't blame anything on the police.
I blame it all on the Mayor of Baltimore, that late great city.

What's frightening is her later response when she basically said, "Stop making stuff up! I didn't say that! You media liars!"

I think we can all understand how she might have said something she really didn't mean to but her outright refusal to admit any mistake at all is a scary quality in a leader.  And she's third in line at the DNC?  We'll be seeing more of her no doubt.  Is she being groomed for Cummings seat maybe?
