News Host Destroys Militants & FBI Over White & Right-Wing Privilege "There’s Two Different Laws In The Country & We Walk Around Pretending It Isn't!"
Cenk Uygur, news host of The Young Turks, has finally had it with the militants in Oregon and the hands-off approach taken by law enforcement, and he let them know it with a rant on his Wednesday show. “We’re going to have a conversation with these guys?†Uygur asked. “They were free to come and go for three weeks, there was no perimeter. The FBI says, ‘Oh don’t worry, we just set up a perimeter.'†“God damn right, I’m worried!†he exclaimed. “Why didn’t you set up a perimeter the first time they captured a federal building, armed, talking about how they’re going to murder people who come and try to take it from them.†“And here are these guys on camera saying, ‘We’re going to murder the cops if they come to get us.’ Uygur observed that black and liberal activists would have been quickly stopped by authorities if they attempted similar actions. “Look at the white privilege here, and it’s not just white,†he explained. “It’s right-wing privilege. Because if left wingers had taken over, environmental groups had taken over and say, ‘Oh, we’re going to do this and we’re going to do that.’ It doesn’t matter if it’s a Latino, a black group or it’s just white Greenpeace or animal rights guys, nobody gets to come and go and threaten cops and talk about killing them!†Via The Young Turks Posted By Persist
