Did Obama’s Attorney General Incite Violence by Calling for More “Marching” (a.k.a.Street Riots), “Bleeding,” and “Death”?

March 5, 2017

In a speech just before receiving a “Medal of Law” from the Thomas Jefferson Foundation at the University of Virginia, those are words used by former AG Loretta Lynch.

Is publicly inciting violence like this — “Lynching,” if you will, legal?  Will Loretta be out there herself rioting and bleeding?  Not likely.  That’s for the dupes and street thugs (like the ones in Berkeley) she was sending a message to in her (hate) speech.  (Such extremism by one of Obama’s closest cronies suggests that President Trump must be correct when he tweeted yesterday that the Obama administration illegally bugged Trump Tower before the election, Watergate style).

I wonder what the “media” would say if current Attorney General Jeff Sessions said something like this.

UPDATE:  Two emailers have written to suggest that Lynch was referring to the Civil Rights marches of the 1960s and insinuating that it is her supporters (who I would describe as the angry, hateful, and increasingly violent “protesters” who have  been rioting, looting, burning cars, and assaulting and brutalizing Trump supporters all over the country) who are the potential victims of this supposedly impending bleeding and dying.  I don’t buy this argument, however, in light of the context of all the organized violence that is the result of Obama’s “community organizing” political network, of which Lynch is an integral part.  She’s not stupid. Evil, but not stupid.  She has to know that insinuating to all these violent thugs that they might become victims will only reinforce them and their attacks on Trump supporters.  Today there are images on the Web of Trump supporters in Berkeley with bloodied heads, victims of the latest round of “community organizing.”
