The Claim
This is a popular post citing direct quotes of top Democrat leaders. The quotes have not been disputed.
The Facts
This is a case of “Fact Checkers” not believing people can decide on their own what a person is saying. It seems that there are 2 sides on these quotes. One side thinks this is a direct call for violence and the other side thinks this is just a harmless call to protest. I take the former side.
Fact Checkers flag this graphics on Facebook and other social platforms for various reasons. The most common is “missing content” and then goes on to try to change your mind on what you have just read. “unrest” “push back” “uprisings” are all dog whistles for violence.
Here are some of the quotes you can see directly from their mouths and you can decide what they are saying.
“There needs to be unrest in the streets”
“Protesters should not let up”
“You push back on them”
“Uprisings all over the country”
“Peacefully and Patriotically”
Sorry, that last one wasn’t from a Democrat.
Is this a FACTnoid?
They all said these quotes. This is a FACT. YOU decide what they mean.
