Could’ve fooled us.
Do you know the difference between protesters and rioters? https://t.co/p8NuT7zoY3

It’s simple, really: If they’re leftists, they’re “protesters.”
Reputable news sources ought to make a distinction between "protesters" and "rioters", or protest will become synonymous with violence.

Hardly protesters.

Rioters… not protesters… Rioters loot, protesters protest.

How can you call them 'protesters'? They are simply opportunist thieves.
