There’s a CNN chyron flying around conservative Twitter this morning that looks like something from The Babylon Bee, but we are pleased to inform you that it’s 100% real.
Behold, the “fiery but mostly peaceful protests”:
This is what a Biden Presidency will bring to your city.
Hats off to CNN for having the stamina to continue to carry water for democrats.

Here’s the video from the segment:
You cannot make this up… A CNN reporter is standing in front of a building engulfed in flames and CNN's chyron reads:

This was from yesterday morning, which means it “mostly peaceful” was *after* two protesters were shot and killed and one wounded:
This happened on Wednesday morning at 5am. Not sure how this slipped through the cracks until now. I had to go through the footage because I didn't even believe the screenshots that were popping up were real. https://t.co/JTNDSIvBf0

President Trump might have to count this as a contribution to his reelection:
“FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS” is going to be in every GOP ad going forward.

Flashback to when MSNBC tried this crap:
MSNBC reporter just now: "I want to be clear on how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It is not generally speaking unruly."
