The Pandemic & The Portland Protestors: The Perfect Storm To Highlight The Hypocrisy Of The Left
Who knew that face masks and the activists in Portland would be the perfect storm to highlight the hypocrisy of the left.
Since March the press and Democrats have been screaming for a national lockdown, a national testing strategy, and now they want a national mask order.
Joe Biden has said he would force Americans to wear a mask.
“I would go back to making sure that everybody had masks,” Biden said. Both he and the interviewer wore masks and stood eight feet apart.
“The one thing we do know is that these masks make a gigantic difference. I would insist that everybody in public be wearing that masks,” Biden continued. “I would do everything possible to make it required that people have to wear masks in public.”
Both constitutional scholars agreed the federal government cannot institute a national lockdown nor can it force Americans to wear a mask. That’ hasn’t stop Democrats from demanding a national mask mandate.
“I think the president should have taken the extra step and called for a national mandate on masks. You’re in public service to make a difference,” said New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Hollywood and the Governor have teamed up and started a “mask up America” campaign.
Happy to be part of @NYGovCuomo’s national “Mask Up” campaign. https://t.co/MRQ85z3SAa

Throughout the pandemic, we have seen Democrat governors like Michigan Gov. Whitmer even restrict the items one can buy at a store. If you dare rise up against them you are called a nazi, an extremist, and the left claims you will cause a “super spreader event.”
Michigan Gov. @gretchenwhitmer calls some protests in her state “racist and misogynistic” and urges others “to stop encouraging this behavior because it only makes it that much more precarious for us to try to reengage our economy.” https://t.co/cVclFZQmjA pic.twitter.com/K9QED6Pfbi

However, if the federal government wishes to protect its property from protestors trying to burn it down, according to Democrats, that’s unconstitutional.
Not only are you called a nazi for having your constitutional rights trampled on by an overzealous governor one is also a nazi if they protect federal property from this…

This is perfectly ok if you are the Democrats…

But arresting protestors who just breached the fence and were trying to set fire to the building is unconstitutional…

These instances highlight the perfect hypocrisy.
For the regular Americans, the left giggles with glee to mandate face masks and lockdown; if you resist you are a nazi. However, the government protecting federal property and stopping extremists from burning down a city block is unconstitutional and dubbed fascist.
