Fox News and other conservative media began circulating a new talking point last week in the ongoing effort to sow doubt about the upcoming presidential election, warning that Democratic operatives and government insiders are plotting a “color revolution” to overthrow Trump in November.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping harbor deep fears of ‘color revolution’ and consequently their regimes are laser-focused on repressing spontaneous popular protests,” Carpenter, who previously served in the Pentagon as a deputy assistant secretary of defense focusing on Russia and the surrounding region, wrote in a message to Yahoo News. “That’s why it’s so jarring, even chilling, to hear fears of color revolution being articulated in the U.S. context.
Beattie, who was reportedly fired from the White House in 2018 after CNN revealed that he’d previously spoken at a conference attended by well-known white nationalists, said the “chief characteristics” of color revolutions include “an engineered contested election scenario combined with massive mobilized protests.”
Following Beattie’s Tucker Carlson appearance, Mike Huckabee summarized the ex-Trump staffer’s theory in a post on his own website titled “Getting specific about the left’s ‘Color Revolution’ Plan.” Nina Jankowicz, a fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., said she was “shocked” to see references to “color revolution” on social media in the context of the United States.
Mark MacKinnon, a senior international correspondent for the Canadian newspaper the Globe and Mail who wrote a book on democratic revolutions in the former Soviet Union, attempted to offer additional context on what color revolutions are — and what they are not — in a Twitter thread on Friday.
Not really a 'conspiracy' when you you can on your TV and watch the riots everyday. Did Liberals really think that violence would work in swaying the undecided?
Oh you mean repeating things like how the BLM leaders are saying on fox news that if they don't get their way they're going to burn it all down.
Not going to happen. You'll have 70+ millions of American people to fight
That came right from Alex Jones so you know it must be true.
A new talking point? As if the left doesn’t come up with new whining points ever hour every day. Shut up, Yahoo isn’t news.
Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean someone is not trying to kill you.
