DC:
CNN’s Brooke Baldwin Refuses To Call SCOTUS Protesters A ‘Mob’.
CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin refused to let her guests refer to anti-Kavanaugh protesters as a “mob” during a Tuesday interview.
Matt Lewis, a senior columnist for The Daily Beast and a CNN contributor, said that the intense protests by leftists against the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh may have motivated Republicans to turn out in the midterm elections.
“Republicans, they’re the team that needed the excitement. … now I think they do [have excitement,” Lewis said. “I believe it’s the overreaction of the left. When you see people like Ted Cruz getting chased out of restaurants by a mob — ”
Baldwin immediately cut off Lewis and challenged his use of the word “mob” to describe the group of protesters who cornered Sen. Cruz and his wife at Fiola in Washington, DC and forced them to leave the restaurant.
“Oh, you’re not going to use the ‘mob’ word here,” Baldwin complained.
“It’s totally a mob,” Lewis shot back. “Without a doubt. There’s no other word for it!”
“Matt, Matt — a mob,” Baldwin said. “Stop. Stop. A mob is what we saw in Charlottesville, Virginia, two Augusts ago.”
Lewis refused to let the point go and added that protesters were clawing at the doors of the Supreme Court during Kavanaugh’s swearing in demanding they be let in. MORE HERE
SNIP: MOB.
It was a Mob of Zombies!
M.assive O.rganization of B.elligerence
Yeah, because shooting up a Republican ball game, torching a pickup and assaulting Trump supporters is just “people expressing their disagreement.”
The Lying Leftist Media really has no idea how it’s helping the GOP this November.
Just like the mob that clawed at the doors of Lot’s home in Sodom. The mob that mysteriously disappeared less than 24 hours later.
“Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. (Genesis 19: 9-11)
If you want a treat, run “mob” through Google today to see the pushback that’s already building from the Left.
RABBLE:
a disorderly crowd; a mob.
“he was met by a rabble of noisy, angry youths”
synonyms:
mob · (disorderly) crowd · throng · gang · swarm · host · horde · pack · press · crush · jam · gathering · assemblage · multitude · mass · body · group · rout
The “mob” referred to in Genesis 19: 14 is a bad translation – it actually says “the men of Sodom, both young and old.” People use the other translation to say the sin of sodom was hospitality not homosexuality – but the translation says otherwise. (Sorry to be so picky).
A mob of slobs, if you ask me.
The best part is that her complaining just magnified the term. Had she let it go it would have just slid past. Now all 6 people who watch CNN (plus all the conservatives who watch to point out the hypocrisies) are thinking about mobs on the Left. 🙂
Brooke just doesn’t like the word “mob” because it’s got so many letters.
It is a mob.
An organized mob.
An organized, paid mob, often with many in uniforms.
I think she needs more tanner.
Have you seen the new tactic from the leftists?
Hitlery and Mad Max and the lap dogs are all out there saying Republicans are behaving violently and bullying and harassing people when in fact it’s the left who are calling for violence.
So this is just par for the course. If it were Republicans or conservatives clawing at the doors, they would be a mob.
She’s got that smug, lefty eye-roll down to a science.
“mob”: another one of those tiny little words that trip the Lefties up…
“is”
“spy”
“thug”
The question needs to be posed to Baldwin and the other hysterical children at CNN; What would you call 6-7-12 angry young toughs chasing Don Lemon or Anderson Cooper down an alley in NYC and cornering them in a mad frenzy screaming about homosexual child abuse… would they be called a “mob”???
Control the language and you control the debate.
I want you to offer your rebuttal but you can’t say any words that accurately describe it.
Now GTF off my show!

That’s why it’s failing. Miserably. Republicans, Democrats, everybody, knows conservatives won’t get off the couch.
civilizational glitch
mob is easier
Brooke was obviously losing the argument, and had to interrupt her guests. She seized on “mob” as an excuse to interrupt and stop the flow. It’s a time honored tactic of the left. Notice she never countered anything of substance that he said.
@Don Lemon’s Bruised Starfish October 10, 2018 at 11:28 am
That’s not bruising. It’s purple stank eye shadow.
Boobs Baldwin strikes again. Calm your tits, Boobs.
Just imagine what life will be like by November 2019. The Libtards have lost it.
So many punchable faces, so few fists.
Holy crap! What’s the deal with that Baldwin woman? She looks like a boiled lobster. Does she think that looks good? Does she have a skin disease? Did she fall asleep in a tanning bed? Maybe she’s pulling a Liz Warren and trying to transition to a redskin so she can ease herself of her white guilt.
73 arrested on the first day of the Kavanaugh hearings sounds like a mob to me.
Largely a paid mob too. I think.
Is it still a mob when the participants are receiving a pay check for the violence, chaos, and public spectacle they are causing?
I’m tired of this ignoramus crap.
Harassing and threatening people, disrupting proceedings, blocking streets, vandalism, looting, rioting and the like do not constitute protected “protesting”.
The screaming and wailing that occurred during the Supreme Court confirmation proceedings (a felony by the way), in restaurants, on city streets, in universities because they don’t like a scheduled speaker, and the like, does not constitute protected speech (ESPECIALLY where it’s being used to block others’ speech”).
Here’s the text of the First Amendment:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
What part of “PEACEABLY TO ASSEMBLE” do these morons not get.

After being appointed to SCOTUS, Kavanaugh should have stepped outside, confronted the zombie screamers, pulled it out, waved it, and said “Ya want my meat? Come and get it”.
