If you go to church, you’re gonna get coronavirus. If you’re white and protest unconstitutional coronavirus lockdown orders, you’re gonna get coronavirus. However, if you riot in the streets, trash police cars, loot stores, and set buildings on fire in the name of Black Lives Matter, you are completely immune from the coronavirus. This is what democrat Jamie Raskin said today in a House hearing. Democrats are full of crap but they aren’t usually this overtly full of crap.
A House committee grilled Dr. Fauci today because the democrats wanted him to say some anti-Trump stuff, which he didn’t. Since the gotcha hearing fell flat for the democrats, Rep. Jamie Raskin threw his own garbage into the mix.

“Parties in the case cited numerous cases of church gatherings with people unmasked, singing, chanting, and so on that became super-spreader events. There is no religious immunity to this disease and there is no free exercise exemption to universal public health orders,” said raskin.
Yesterday a church was packed with black people and democrats for John Lewis’ funeral, so obviously there is a liberal exemption to all of that shit.
“As for protests, let’s not confuse the issue. Whether your protest is a right-wing protest like Boogaloo and Proud Boys and anti-public health order protesters like the ones who threatened the life of Governor Whitmer and tried to shut down the Michigan legislature and succeeded in doing so or is the non-violent assemblies of millions of people with Black Lives Matter across the country and endorsed by our late beloved colleague John Lewis, champion of nonviolence,” Raskin said.
The mostly-white protesters in Michigan did not threaten the life of their crazy Governor and it was completely non-violent. Raskin says non-violent white protest are violent and violent Black lIves Matter riots are non-violent. That’s how he’s seeking to remove confusion?
Somehow he had this even more pathetic:
“The preliminary results suggests, and I know because I’ve been to a lot of the Black Lives Matter protests, is that people are not getting infected there as much because they are observing those rules. Obviously when you go to an anti-public health order/anti-masking protest, the kind that shut down the legislature in Michigan, most people are not wearing masks and not observing the public protocols they’ve come to destroy,” said Raskin.
So riots and looting are safe because everyone is wearing a mask and social distancing but peaceful freedom protests by mostly white people are dangerous and destructive? The preliminary results suggest that Raskin is full of shit.
And just in case Raskin is full of shit and it’s not true that Black Lives Matter riots aren’t as safe as he says, he threw up this excuse to cover his lying ass:
“So if you’re really concerned about the protest and people gettin sick there, and we should be, then we have to look at the use of tear gas and pepper spray,” said Raskin.
So rioters get coronavirus from tear gas and pepper spray? Also, why would tear gas and pepper spray be used at a peaceful protest? Raskin did not explain this.
This is the liberal unified bullshit theory that explains why good people can’t work, go to church, or get a hair cut but scumbags can literally burn a city to the ground. Because it’s a unified theory, it also explains how democrats can pack churches and participate in riots but the rest of us must stay at home and go bankrupt.
