'Escalating by the hour': CNN reporter notes dangerous Freedom Convoy protest could spread to the U.S., and 'the fear is real'

The pro-mandate Left will never be able to say they haven’t gotten any narrative assistance from CNN when it comes to covering the “threat” that is the Freedom Convoy in Canada. One CNN reporter made the Canada protests seem like riots in the U.S. in 2020 were entirely peaceful:

"Escalating by the hour." Anti-Freedom Convoy reporter Paula Newton from CNN declares the "fear is real" because "If this is the kind of civil disobedience that is tolerated … what can happen next?"

Today Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau said the country is unified behind his mandates, which obviously isn’t the case.

where were their concerns when our cities were being burned down and occupied by armed separatists in 2020? oh yeah that was "mostly peaceful" https://t.co/N6nYxroNrP

Oh, those were just “fiery but mostly peaceful.”

All Trudeau has to do is push the button. Easy. https://t.co/AaCVA3rTuM

Huh. Looks very different during BLM protests in Minneapolis where buildings were burning in the background of a very "peaceful protest." These CNN reporters have a different idea of what escalation and fear is https://t.co/ktM3c4entn

What a joke CNN has become.
