No, the rumors are not true. The Republican National Committee is not funding the riots, looting, and arson roiling Europe. But a wild-eyed conspiracy theorist could be excused for wondering whether this is the clandestine work of the GOP. Media rationale for the violence is almost comical.  CNBC blames it on ‘dissatisfaction with living costs,’ while CNN genius Leigh McGowan implicates ‘a bunch of students.’ Reuters points at ‘chronic teacher shortages,’ and the BBC describes the riots as ‘mostly peaceful.’  Shades of George Floyd!

The midterm election is the most important vote in my career. It’s directional. Are Americans willing to change this country's traditions? That’s what’s on the line.

 

In my estimation, the radicals have a chance. If we embrace the French model, you won't like it. But a segment of our society will like it. Because they’ll be getting more entitlements, more services, you know the deal.
