Is that what CNN told you? I think it'd be difficult to find even one large BLM "demonstration" that didn't at least have pockets of riots. And the Trump "rallies"... zero violence except in defense when BLM/Antifa picked fights with them.

And yeah, Fauci refused to decry the BLM stuff. Refused to comment on it. Yet he advised every other kind of gathering for the people to stay home.

But as for the protests, the main thing I noticed is they happened at a time where small gatherings were supposed to be a big no-no. Suddenly the news went from avoid large gatherings, even if its family gatherings cause of the virus.... to go out and protest in large gatherings, it's A-OK! without a single mention of the virus.

Fauci's a quack. It's infuriating how many people go by his word and anyone questioning him is shunned or silenced.

Definitely a double-standard then. I really wish we did have people who just judged both the same. In my view, both should have been viewed the same. We were supposed to limit contact with folks. Either say something for both or don't say anything with either, right?
