Victor Davis Hanson compares the Darrell Brooks incident in Waukesha and the Kyle Rittenhouse incident in Kenosha, two towns 60 miles apart. His cohost Sami Winc wonders if American citizens are turning away from the strange binary culture created by the Left.
National Treasure
Not pronouncing Waukesha correctly. Walk e sha.
Add to Projecting Leftists a large, good-faith coterie of young people who grew up in white enclaves with the Civil Rights movement taken for granted encountering African Americans on the internet and in person and being shocked to find that everything isn’t “fixed” yet. I know how shocked my 60ish parents were to see klansmen rallying in orange county during the 2016 election -it was earth-shattering for my mid-20s mentees at work. My brother is a cop, but I can’t count the number of times he’s been in danger of life and limb driving around L.A. with his African American wife from cops, whites, Blacks, and even Hispanics. This younger coterie aren’t ANTIFA, but they are less prone than they would be otherwise to be mad at Leftist aggression while they’re still sorting all these “shockers” out.
I do not believe America can resolve this current crisis peacefully.
Professor Hanson: Please influence Hlllsdale to offer Kyle Rittenhouse a scholarship to the University. Kyle will have time to heal and thrive in that environment. He deserves it. Thank you for your consideration.
