CNN Guest: Berkeley Rioters Were Actually Secret Right-Wingers Affiliated With Breitbart
by Alex Griswold | 9:40 am, February 3rd, 2017

On CNN Thursday, UC Berkeley professor and former Democratic Secretary of Labor Robert Reich suggested the anti-Trump riots on campus were actually a right-wing plot to delegitimize liberals.

“I was there for part of last night, and I know what I saw and those people were not Berkeley students,” Reich said. “Those people were outside agitators. I have never seen them before.”

“There’s rumors that they actually were right-wingers. They were a part of a kind of group that was organized and ready to create the kind of tumult and danger you saw that forced the police to cancel the event,” Reich insisted. “So Donald Trump, when he says Berkeley doesn’t respect free speech rights, that’s a complete distortion of the truth.”

“You think it’s a strategy by or right-wingers?” asked host Don Lemon.

7. I know quite a few anarchists. They are the most peaceful people I know. Some are teachers, library workers, medical workers. It's a philosophy like any other, and only in America does the term always have violent connotation They are also the most responsible people that I know. While I might not agree with them< I certainly have a great deal of respect for many of them.

48. I watched it when CNN first started showing then and I saw several of the glass breakers...

when they bent over had white skin. Why would whites be the main ones doing the destruction. Most people would think it was black people protesting because of the nature of the protest.

I noticed the same thing during Trumps inauguration.

9. OMG, great minds think alike.....I was flogging this idea yesterday. I even trolled Fox News' FB post with the idea and got good traction. I mean it does make sense. Who benefits from all the attention? Breitbart trolls! They crave attention and will do anything for a headline.

17. He could be right

But I can tell you that just about any march or demonstration around here attracts anarchists who deliberately make trouble. This goes back to the protests before the invasion of Iraq. They ruin just about everything. I was amazed they didn't show up for the Women's March in Oakland. Maybe because it was during day time, which makes it difficult for the assholes to disguise their identities.

A few of them were arrested in Berkeley. It would be interesting to find out who they are.

23. And Furthermore

......why weren't they arrested in massive numbers? The police just stood there shaking their heads?

If we had arrests we could start to find out who these guys are. You can bet if it had been, in fact, unmasked, actual students in sweatshirts, they'd have been pepper sprayed and arrested.

But the SS provocateurs get a pass it seems

seems the left wing Berkeley Campus Police had a no arrest order prior to the riots starting from their higher.

37. Reich was a very forthright eyewitness. He said they looked "paramilitary," and I believe him.

I listened to what he had to say last night, and I respect him very much for speaking out and not backing down when challenged.

Thank you for your OP. I just didn't have time to post it myself.

47. I figured as much. Anybody spot James O'Keefe sneaking around there?

Sounds like something he'd do.

After all, it appears they've realized how damaging those anti-trump crowds are, so it's time to **** with them and give them a bad name.

ALSO seems like they've overplayed this because now they're getting called out for it. Their cover is blown. Which is GREAT!!!! ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN' FANTASTIC!!!

Your sneaky little "tricks" aren't working anymore, Breitbart goons! Too many people are paying attention now, and are onto you.

Some other guy said they were wore "uniforms".

Let's give it to the left side of the IQ bell curve that these clearly leftists are in fact an alt-right false flag op.

Why dd all of the other protestors cheer and join in?
Why didn't the leftist mayors arrest anybody?
Why did the mostly peaceful terrois...protestors get Soros cash money?
Why has it always been progressive religions like communism, fascism, socialism alway the true false flag operators?

Leftists wrote the book on shit-stirring. Perhaps it's just natural they assume others would employ the same tactics as they do.

You rowed too much over...I got overloaded.  :rant:  Rush was laughing about this on today's show.  If they had masks on, how did the midget know they weren't students?  And as one caller said, if he's 4'8", how could he see anything?

The truth of it all is pretty easy to summarize:

1.) Prog outside organizers got together with some students (a small number thereof in a school with 10s of thousands of students) gathered and printed materials (fireworks, rocks, flammables, signs) and advertised their "protest";

2.) Using people who came on their own initiative as a human smokescreen the organized Progs went violent, as planned, and rioted;

3.) The riot became too great and notorious for the MSM to minimize, and most Americans reacted with disgust and anger at the rioters;

4.) Libs & Progs like Reich and DU-folk are trying to deflect that disgust and anger with silly conspiracy theories.


Libs & Progs need to  :ownit:  and reevaluate their stances, strategies, and tactics based on their fruit.


Not that I harbor any illusions that they that kind of self-awareness and honesty.

There's 40,000 students at Cal, these rioting thugs were wearing masks, it was nighttime, there was much chaos, but midget boy makes out like he is absolutely sure that none of them were students because he hadn't seen them, as if he could personally recognize each of the 40,000 enrolled?

Maybe your fellow profs and admin at Cal are that stupid, but decent and civilized American are not.

So, is this the new way the MSM will launder fake news?

Step 1: Some Lib/Prog/D says something lunatic;

Step 2: The MSM report the "news" that (s)he said it without calling out how lunatic the claim is;

Step 3: The lunatic claim is now news-oid to uncritical readers and hearers.

With the left completely out of power on a national level they are becoming like infants, critical thought eludes them perhaps from lack of sleep.  They are desperate for any kind of victory, anything they can gloat over no matter how small or trivial.
