A CNN host spoke to a cheering Antifa crowd at the violent “No Hate in the Bay” rally in Berkeley, California, over the weekend, and now CNN is dodging questions about it.
W. Kamau Bell, who fronts a show on CNN called the “United Shades of America,” grabbed a bullhorn at the rally and bellowed that “when the Nazis leave, as they have left…you have to stand up for the brown people, the black people, the LGBT people, the immigrants–everybody everyday!” The mob roared in approval.

Bell later took to Twitter to describe his experience speaking at the event:
1/of not that many
Today at the #NoHateintheBay rally in Berkeley I was given the chance to speak by @pastormykmac. I wasn't expecting it.

Before I knew it, I was holding the mic. As a comedian you would think I'm always ready to grab the mic. I'm not that kind of comedian.
— W. Kamau Bell (@wkamaubell) August 28, 2017
But I seized the mic and said I was against white supremacy. (No news to anyone.) & The mic began to cut out. They handed me a bullhorn…
— W. Kamau Bell (@wkamaubell) August 28, 2017
I had never used one before. (I almost mentioned it but immediately thought better of it.) I kept going & then I was handed the mic again…

At this point I thought, "I should probably just wrap this up." & I screamed the one point that I really wanted to make…
— W. Kamau Bell (@wkamaubell) August 28, 2017
At that point I screamed Berkeley should support Black ppl, Brown ppl, LGBT, & immigrants & the mic cut out & screamed "EVERYBODY EVERYDAY!"

Fox News host Tucker Carlson took CNN to task on his show Thursday night, pointing out that Bell offered encouragement to the black-clad Antifa mob that attacked innocent people for no other reason than that they “might have voted for Donald Trump.”
He “calls himself a political provocateur but that doesn’t quite capture it,” Carlson said. “In fact, he is a supporter of Antifa.”
Tucker recounted how the Antifa mob attacked “Patriot Prayer” founder Joey Gibson, a political moderate: “They knocked him off his feet, pepper-sprayed him, smashed him in the head with a pole,” he said.
“Last night we talked to man called Keith Campbell. He’s not a Nazi, either. He just happened to be standing at the event with a camera. Antifa thugs knocked him to the ground and began pummeling him. They might have killed him if a conscientious liberal hadn’t shielded Campbell with his body.”
Carlson argued that the reason the two men were attacked was because “they believe in American ideas like free speech and free association.” He said antifa doesn’t believe in those things and that’s why they attacked. “They hate this country. They want to tear it down. They are totalitarian in their beliefs and in their aims,” Carlson declared.
None of that mattered to Bell, Carlson said. “He’s happy to stand up on stage and call his opponents Nazis. That’s not a label you use on people you want to debate. It’s a label you use to incite rage.”
Carlson pointed out that his program would be cancelled immediately if he spoke at a right-wing version of Bell’s rally — “where right-wingers in masks tried to kill people they disagreed with — Hillary voters maybe, and then afterward we issued a statement saying we were just working on behalf of whites, Christians, gun owners, taxpayers, maybe even some black people — especially those who voted Republican. How would that go over? This show would be canceled quickly and it would deserve to be canceled.”
“If you’re not willing to say you want a world safe for all Americans equally, you are peddling hate, and Bell is,” Carlson said, pointing to Bell’s written statement after the rally which lauded the causes of “black” and “brown” people in his words.
According to his own statement all white people = “nazis,” while ALL brown people, black people, gay and gender ? people are angels.
Yet Antifa keeps finding gays, blacks browns and other minorities who they say have “lost their victim card,” by agreeing with some white people on issues.
Let’s imagine a world without whites…..
Next would be the culling of all the gays, blacks, browns, red, yellows, etc., who agreed with anything to the right of Antifa.
The number of murders would rival anything previous commies have racked up.
IF YOU SUPPORT ANTIFA YOUR A TERRORISTS AND NEED SENT TO PRISON FOR LIFE
Uh… that ain’t “everybody”.
Too bad Bell was fired and lost his job because… oh, wait. You mean he HASN’T been fired from CNN because he can never be expected to be objective, fair and balanced? SHOCKING!
250,000 signatures on a petition to declare Antifa a terrorist group. The thing they wish to destroy is the very thing they use to destroy it for others, the freedom of speech, 1st amendment. Why it is taking the left so long to recognize the motives and methods, they do its all part of the mission.
The media is fueling this, get proof of the funding and bring on the lawyers, make them pay damages and do serious time.
