Welcome to Liberty Nation’s Daily Snapshot. All the top news of the day, the latest polls, and more.
The left-wing media is now solemnly dissecting New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s political career, which is about to come to an end. It is as if these media organizations are trying to convince the public that they knew all along how corrupt and deeply flawed the man was. Just last year, though, the same news outlets were virtually worshipping the ground upon which Cuomo walked.
The oldest trick in the handbook of left-wing political activism is the use of a “them and us” narrative. People are still taken in by this deception. It is precisely why extremists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, the leaders of BLM, and other activists and agitators gather support – and money. “We are being oppressed and exploited by the establishment,” they tell people. Yet they are a part of that establishment. They will fight to remain a part of the establishment for as long as they can, and they will become wealthy in the process. When assessing the credibility of political activists, one should perhaps look first at how much wealth and privilege they are accruing as a result of their “activism.”
“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”
