Troubling op-ed in Trump in-law’s newspaper calls for FBI crackdown on anti-Trump protests
Erin Corbett 06 DEC 2016 AT 14:52 ET

Jared Kushner’s newspaper, the New York Observer, ran an op-ed last week that called for a FBI crackdown on the anti-Trump protests that have swept the nation, AlterNet reports.

Kushner, who is Donald Trump’s son-in-law and married to Ivanka, bought the Observer in 2006. Just last week, the paper was described as the “propaganda arm of the Trump administration,” by Mediaite contributor Justin Bargona.

The Observer op-ed, written by Austin Bay — a former U.S. Army Reserve colonel and current adjunct professor at the University of Texas in Austin — calls on FBI Director James Comey to investigate “the violence and political thuggery that continue to mar the presidential election’s aftermath.”

This includes a crackdown on protests and a thorough investigation into whether protest efforts have “ties to organizations demanding vote recounts.”

Bay writes, “The hard left’s violent reaction to Donald Trump’s election is vile and dangerous. Peaceful protests? No, the demonstrators vandalize and destroy.” He also calls out several so-called Democratic Party operatives, such as political consultant Robert Creamer, whom Bay refers to as a “political terrorist.”

6. Just to be clear...it is an online only paper now.

Apparently Krushner ran it into the ground rather quickly, so I would expect that only die hard supporters read it.

3. I assume Edgar Maddison Welch isn't one of the people they want investigated

(He's the numbnuts Trump supporter who went to Comet Ping Pong with an assault rifle to try to "free the children" being exploited in Hillary's child prostitution ring.)

If Trump is too thin-skinned to handle protesters, maybe he shouldn't have run for president in the first place!

4. Uhoh. This is a VERY bad sign...

And, of course, just another way of spreading political lies.

12. " . . . a thorough investigation into whether protest efforts have

“ties to organizations demanding vote recounts"

Sounds like organized crime to me. Maybe they could get a RICO indictment. Ties to organizations demanding vote recount!! Maybe they could raid a pizza parlor and find a den of recounters!

We truly have woken up in an alternate universe. One with a short shelf life, I'm afraid.
