Critics have accused CNN of encouraging and supporting the Black Lives Matter riots.

And now all hell is breaking loose.

That’s because this smoking gun just revealed CNN paid $35,000 to this Black Lives Matter rioter.

John Sullivan was a Black Lives Matter activist arrested at the January 6 riot at the Capitol.

But in a bombshell court filing, his attorney Steven R. Kiersh argued that Sullivan was only in the Capitol in his capacity as a journalist and cited a $35,000 payment he received from both CNN and MSNBC for rights to the footage of the fatal shooting of Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt.

To date, Babbitt is the only person confirmed to have died from a violent act at the Capitol.

“Defendant is legitimately self-employed as a documentarian and it is oppressive to require that he not be allowed to continue his primary area of employment for an extended period of time,” Kiersh wrote.

Prosecutors argued that Sullivan encouraged rioters to engage in violence.

“We accomplished this shit. We did this together. Fuck yeah! We are all a part of this history,” Sullivan was allegedly caught on video shouting.

“Let’s burn this shit down,” prosecutors also alleged Sullivan declared.

Critics were wondering why CNN and MSNBC would want to pay big money to a left-wing activist known to be controversial and who was accused of inciting violence at the Capitol riot.

No one believes CNN or MSNBC would pay a member of the Proud Boys or the Oath Keepers for video footage.

This admission by Sullivan’s lawyers is only adding to the allegations that Democrat activist outlets like CNN and MSNBC are cheering, supporting, and even funding violent left-wing extremists.

One of the Left’s favorite pastimes is attacking white people. 

Racism is perfectly fine when it is directed at them. 

And a guest on The View just said something so racist about white people your jaw will hit the floor. 

Of all the anti-white left-wing intellectuals out there, few are as influential as Michael Eric Dyson. 

He may not be as well known as race-baiters like Al Sharpton, but his influence has almost certainly affected your life. 

Dyson wrote the foreword to The New York Times best-selling book White Fragility, which argues that white people are inherently racist, and that they need to live their lives apologizing for their skin color. 

While that book would be considered garbage ten years ago, and hate speech if it was talking about any other race today, it amassed a major following in the last year.

Many schools assigned students to read the book, and corporations ordered white employees to read the book. 

And amid all this, Dyson brought in boatloads of money, and gained major fame among the Left. 

Dyson was recently invited on The View to talk about his newest race-baiting book, titled, Long Time Coming: Reckoning with Race in America.

He started by celebrating the media-declared win that Joe Biden scored, stating that Biden and Kamala Harris “understand the nature of existence for people of color and for all of us to come together.”

Later in the discussion, things took a wild and racist turn.

Dyson encouraged Biden to listen to the far-left, and consider moves like abolishing the police. 

He begins by mirroring the lie based on the police killing of Michael Brown, where Black Lives Matter claimed Brown had his hands up when he was shot by police in Ferguson, Missouri, when that was not the case. 

“We are living in a nation where if you hold your hands up you get shot,” Dyson said, pointing to no data to back his point, as it doesn’t exist. “If you put them down you get shot. If you agree with the police you get shot. If you don’t agree with the police, you get shot. The fact is, it’s not what we do. It’s who we are that seems to exacerbate tensions between law enforcement and African-American communities.” 

Dyson then brought up abolishing the police, saying, “I know some people have been outraged by the use of ‘abolish the police.’” 

He then compared those who are opposed to that as the same as those who were against abolishing slavery, stating, “Guess what? In the 1850s many white Americans were against abolishing slavery. So that the very word ‘abolition’ has caused some people problems, it has been a longstanding tradition in America.”

Dyson doesn’t seem to care that a large amount of police are black, and that it was white people who abolished slavery.

There is nobody on television who speaks the truth quite like Tucker Carlson.

That’s why the Left is so afraid of him.

And Tucker Carlson just revealed the three words that will haunt Democrats for decades.

Tucker Carlson does more than talk about the news of the day on his show.

He talks about the big picture behind what is going on.

And on his recent show, he started his opening monologue asking viewers to pause and look back.

“At some point, it’s worth pausing, turning off the headlines for a moment, and framing what we’re seeing in order to understand it,” Carlson began. “What you’re watching right now is not simply a battle between two political parties or even two opposing worldviews. It is deeper than that.”

He then went on to reveal the three words that really put everything into perspective, saying, “If you want to understand what’s really going on, we’re going to isolate just one slogan that kind of decodes it all. The slogan is ‘Defund the police.’”

Carlson then points out how Democrats have avoided using those words in the past few months, despite it being their rallying cry in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

He then questions the call for defunding the police, pointing out that it would not help everyday people, which is what “conventional politics” is all about.

Going on, he points out that “Americans would die if you defunded the police,” and that it would be completely predictable chaos, adding that the chaos was the point.

“The people behind defunding the police tried to destroy society itself,” Carlson said. “That’s not politics. Tearing down civilization isn’t a political position. It’s something much, much darker than that. It’s a kind of spiritual battle. That sounds like overstatement, but it’s not. We should understand the stakes here, but for a long time we did not.”

Ultimately, the “defund the police” movement is about destroying society.

The founders of the Black Lives Matter movement are self-admitted Marxists.

In order to bring in Marxism, this sort of chaos is needed, as communist ideologies have never been implemented in times of peace.

Democrats may never use the “defund the police” slogan again, as it is politically toxic, but Carlson warns that Americans should never forget that they did.
