GStephanopoulos Death Wish 2020. Thank you GOP

GStephanopoulos Hum... large MAGA's Cult members crowd packed in a building, without masks or social distancing... DARWINISM IN PROGRESS !!! I wich you tremendous numbers, realDonaldTrump aka BunkerBoy !!!

GStephanopoulos Probably? Ben Carson is a joke.

GStephanopoulos In that case, make a law that ADDS ONTO your crime if criminal chokes a police officer during a struggle. Example would be like choking a police officer ON TOP of resitting arrest.

GStephanopoulos We should concentrate on developing the likes of the bola wrap to help sort the problems with arresting difficulties. We have enough technology brainpower to do this? I think you would see less problems & would help the police be able to do theirs job without all the bad press

GStephanopoulos We can have thousands rioting in the streets, without masks, looting and burning and ABC has no concern about the spread of the virus. Donald Trump plans a rally with thousands, wearing masks and peacefully gathering and ABC is suddenly concerned. What a hypocritical organization

GStephanopoulos GStephanopoulos abc funny how you bitches weren’t concerned about Wuhan Virus while the protest & riots were going on.. but y’all were pushing your agenda I guess.

GStephanopoulos Do elect this guy again, he isn’t all there

GStephanopoulos Nancy was Speaker of the House before, crickets. Weird.

GStephanopoulos Republicans don’t care! They would kill as many as they need to to keep realDonaldTrump in Office!

GStephanopoulos No patriotic American should brandish or proudly celebrate the iconography of a rebellion that resulted in tremendous devastation, the loss of more than 620,000 American lives, and the continued subjugation of Black America.

GStephanopoulos So state leadership doesn’t know how health and safety standards will be in place? There’s so much wrong with that!!!!!

GStephanopoulos George where is/was your concern about two consecutive weeks of this all over the country! VS a couple of hours in a stadium?

GStephanopoulos Make this pussyfart a cop for a week and he'll change his tune. Police need more power not less.

GStephanopoulos Why only now? Disgusting

Seattle police chief on autonomous takeover: 'We did not ... abandon the precinct'After confrontations with police, protesters in Seattle seized a several-block area to create an 'autonomous police-free zone,' and Seattle's police chief says she's 'very angry about the situation.' ABC just gave an incredibly biased report on CHAZ. Placing the brief quote from Jenny Durkan full of empty platitudes in the center of the article, sandwiched between inaccurate SPD comments is PR, NOT JOURNALISM. You SHOULD be reporting this👇 who will protect the ppl n businesses in the zone? seattle is going down the pits w/ weak n inept mayor n gov. we the american ppl reject n condemn such extreme left-insanity. this is what extreme left is all abt. How dare you discriminate against the nation of chaz! They are citizens of chad , how dare you not respect there autonomy! Redact and apologize for calling them such derogatory names , they are much more than mear protestors .
