Member of an "Idea" Arrested for Assaulting Trump Supporter in S.F.

Good news: there has been an arrest after the incident over the weekend, when someone from a horde of Antifa/BLM protesters brutally attacked Philip Anderson, an African-American man who was protecting a fellow demonstrator. Philip Anderson and others had gathered in San Francisco to protest the actions taken by Facebook and Twitter to suppress the emerging story about Hunter Biden's laptop. Anderson's colleague was being attacked, as was Anderson when he tried to shield his colleague from danger. A masked coward/fascist (who probably fancies himself an "anti-fascist") struck Anderson in the face, and the latter lost one or two teeth. Wow, nothing says that you believe that black lives matter quite like punching a Black man and calling him the N-word...

According to The Hill, "Adora Anderson, 35, was arrested on Sunday and booked on charges of mayhem and hate crime enhancement, according to a police statement."

Savannah Guthrie will probably respond to this by asking President Trump, for the eighteenth time, whether he condemns white supremacists, even though white supremacists, as awful as they are, are not the group committing assault, vandalism, murder, and destruction in our nation's cities. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has assured us that Antifa is not an organization but rather just "an idea." An idea that burns down police stations, apparently.

Attacks on A.C.B. Emanate from the Left -- and Have Nothing to Do with "Laundry"

Since being nominated, and in spite of impressive credentials and poise, Amy Coney Barrett has been attacked for her experience as Justice Scalia's clerk, her religion, having five children by birth, and adopting two children from Haiti.

However, some appear to be upset most by Sen. John Kennedy (R - La.). Taking a break from more serious inquiries, Kennedy -- who'll almost certainly vote to confirm -- asked Barrett who does the laundry in her house. Barrett laughed, but some had a "visceral reaction" to what they deemed a sexist question.

Clearly, he asked this due to Barrett's (comparatively) large family, not her gender. (Doesn't this question imply that Kennedy doesn't assume who does the laundry?) There is precedent for lighthearted questions during confirmation hearings -- for example, when Sen. Amy Klobuchar asked Elena Kagan which Twilight character she preferred.

Attacks on Barrett -- such as that from this member of the sisterhood, who said that Barrett has a "clown-car vagina" -- emanate from the left...selective, manufactured outrage notwithstanding.
