Nick Sortor: Legacy Media is Covering Up Riots in MN, But It Is Even Worse Than That

Independent journalist Nick Sortor described what he characterized as ongoing riots in Minneapolis and accused legacy media of minimizing the severity of the unrest during an exchange with commentator Charlie Hurt, detailing how he was attacked, robbed, and later told by police to leave the area while reporting.

Sortor said the situation in Minneapolis has been volatile from the outset and that media coverage has failed to reflect what he says is happening on the ground.

“It’s been a riot since day one. Charlie,” Sortor said.

“I mean, out here, they’ve been trying to cover it up. The legacy media in particular, they don’t want to show what’s actually going on out here.”

He explained that safety concerns forced him to report from a distance, even with police present nearby.

“I have to do this live shot from several blocks away,” Sortor said.

“You can see the police lights in the distance, but I can’t go over there anymore because I will be attacked even with police fights over there, that is not a protest.”

Don Lemon Calls Churchgoers ‘Entitled White Supremacists’ Mob After Storms Their Church

Former CNN news host Don Lemon drew renewed criticism this week after making sweeping claims about religion, race, and American society, accusing certain religious groups of entitlement rooted in what he described as “white supremacy.”

Lemon made the remarks while discussing what he characterized as intimidation tactics used by religious conservatives, arguing that some believe the United States was built exclusively for white Christian men.

He framed the issue as both racial and ideological, asserting that this mindset marginalizes others and distorts the country’s founding principles.

“Is a certain degree of racism there, and there’s a certain degree of entitlement. I think people who are, you know, in religious groups like that, it’s not the type of Christianity that I practice, but I think that they’re entitled, and that that entitlement comes from a supremacy, a white supremacy, and they think that this country was built for them, that it is a Christian country, when actually, we left England because we wanted religious freedom,” Lemon said.

He continued by claiming that religious freedom in the United States is selectively applied.

“It’s religious freedom, but only if you’re a Christian and only if you’re a white male, pretty much. And so, yeah, I absolutely 100%, but it’s an intimidation tactic,” Lemon added.

Lemon, who previously hosted a prime-time program on CNN before being dismissed by the network, also reflected on how he has become a prominent figure in debates over race, sexuality, and politics.

Rep. Jim Clyburn Tells the Ladies of ‘The View’ That Republicans Are Trying to Bring Back Slavery

Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina appeared on ‘The View’ on Monday and claimed that Republicans are trying to bring back slavery.

This is not only insane and untrue, it’s a complete perversion of history. The Republican Party was founded to end slavery in the United States. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president, who fought the Democrats on the issue of slavery, which escalated into the American Civil War.

Democrats do this all the time. In 2012, Joe Biden famously said to a mostly black audience that Republicans want to ‘put y’all back in chains.’

Clyburn knows better than this. They all do.

From Nicholas Fondacaro on Twitter/X:

“Anything that’s happened before can happen again. (…) They were trying to set up a process that will allow this country to return to what it was in 1876 when the election got thrown into the House of Representatives and they were able to overturn what Abraham Lincoln and the Congress had done successfully getting rid of slavery. That is what they’re attempting to do today. I get sick and tired of hearing people say this ‘it’s never been like this before,’ Yes, it has!”

DOJ Now Investigating Disgraced Don Lemon and Radical Anti-ICE Mob for Potential Criminal Violations Following Minneapolis Church Disruption

A full-blown assault on Christian worship unfolded Sunday morning in Minnesota as a radical anti-ICE mob stormed a church service, shut down prayer, and harassed parishioners while disgraced former CNN host Don Lemon live-streamed the chaos.

The mob descended on the sanctuary because the church’s pastor reportedly also serves as a field director with ICE.

Lemon telegraphed his stunt the day before, boasting on Instagram that he was headed to Minnesota to “report on ICE” and urging followers to tune in to his live broadcast.

On Sunday, cameras rolled as agitators shouted down the pastor, disrupted prayer, and scattered congregants.

“This is the beginning of what’s going to happen here,” Lemon said on his stream as the service was derailed. Moments later, he admitted the obvious: “They’ve stopped the service—a lot of people have left.”

This wasn’t reporting. It was participation.

Far-left activist Nekima Levy Armstrong publicly praised the disruption on social media, thanking a roster of agitators and media allies—including Lemon, while declaring “judgment” had come to the “House of God.” The post reads like a victory lap over silencing Christian worship.

WTH? Keith Ellison Says Renee Good Died “On Behalf of the Most Vulnerable Members of Our Community” and It’s “Beautiful” – Don Lemon Eats it Up 

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on Sunday described Renee Good’s death after she tried to kill an ICE agent as “beautiful” and noble during an interview with disgraced ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon. 

During his pilgrimage to Minnesota to support anti-ICE riots and report on the violent but peaceful protests, Lemon took a moment to join Ellison in glorifying a deranged leftist woman who attempted to murder a law enforcement officer.

At the scene of Renee Good’s violent assault on the agent, Ellison told Lemon that Good “lost her life trying to be vigilant on behalf of the most vulnerable members of our community.” He continued, “I think that that is beautiful.”

Lemon awkwardly responded with affirmation, “As we say in this country, right? ‘We are in pursuit of a more perfect union.’”

“A more perfect union,” Ellison agreed before offering his fist to Lemon.

Anti-Defamation League CEO reveals he is working with Ted Cruz to ‘take down’ Tucker Carlson

Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt has revealed he is working behind the scenes with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx) and others to take down “revolting lunatics” like Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes.

“I think the only way we are going to defeat the rise in antisemitism on the right is from the right,” Greenblatt said during a panel interview at a Los Angeles synagogue on Wednesday.

“Nick Fuentes is disgusting, Tucker Carlson is disgusting, Candace Owens is disgusting, and so on, but there have been good people like Ted Cruz and Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin [and] Speaker [Mike] Johnson pushing back on these revolting lunatics.”

Greenblatt went on to say he was helping the lawmakers and conservative personalities “behind the scenes” in a bid to get social media platforms to crack down on antisemitism and hate-filled speech.

“We definitely are working a lot to try to get the platforms to kind of enforce their own terms of service so that we can pull down the most offensive hate speech or get them to do it,” he said.

“What I try to do at ADL, what we try to do is provide data, is to provide tools, is to step up often quietly behind the scenes.”

Last month, Carlson was named “Antisemite of the Year” by StopAntisemitism, a prominent Jewish civil rights group, for offering platforms to Jew-haters and -bashers on his show.

Carlson has come under fire for interviewing Palestinian pastor Munther Isaac, who refers to Israel as a “terrorist entity,” and Holocaust revisionist Darryl Cooper, who claimed the Nazis didn’t intend to kill Jews.

The political commentator praised Cooper as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States,” the group said.

The biggest backlash Carlson has faced was hosting Fuentes, with the white nationalist telling the host he was a “fan” of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, who promoted policies that discriminated against Jews.

Carlson himself also slammed “Christian Zionists” for supporting Israel, saying they had been “seized by this brain virus” during the chat — singling out former President George W. Bush, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and Sen. Cruz.

Candace Owens Causes Concern After Charlie Kirk ‘Time Traveler’ Claim and Another Bizarre Theory

Audiences are scratching their heads over the latest theories shared by Candace Owens. The political commentator has some unique thoughts about Charlie Kirk, saying the late Turning Point USA CEO knew his time on earth would be cut short. Charlie was assasinated during a speaking engagement in Utah last September.

Candace says that she has no doubt that the father of two was a “time traveler.” The podcast host went on to say that Charlie had told her this. She alleges that he had sent her text messages as evidence to back up her notion.

Candace Owens also told Charlie Kirk she felt she was “an alien”

There have been countless ideas about exactly who Charlie was, but Candace’s theory may be the most bizarre. On her YouTube channel, she opened up about who she thought he was. Charlie’s supposed time traveler admission prompted Candace to tell him who she believed she was. “I thought I was from another planet. That I was an alien,” she claims to have texted Charlie. She went on to say that the planet was ghetto, adding that for her, the rules don’t make sense. Candace then discussed cats, insisting that they think that humanity is ghetto.

For Candace, Charlie was a marked man from the time he was a child. She claimed to discuss gate programs with him, leading her to believe that someone wanted to drug him when he was younger. Candace says that people knew something about the political activist from an early age.

She explained on her show that unnamed actors supposedly thought that killing Charlie could change a future outcome. Online, Candace took a lot of heat for her conspiracy theory, with some surprised she can say these things with a straight face.

WHAT MEDIA BIAS? Look How CNN Framed Inflation Under Joe Biden Versus Trump

CNN is a horribly biased outlet. Everyone with a brain knows this, but sometimes their bias is so stunning it deserves to be pointed out.

They recently tweeted something about inflation, and one smart Twitter/X user from the Daily Wire held it up alongside a similar tweet from when Biden was still in office.

Even though the numbers are far better under Trump, the Biden era tweet sounds like good news, while the recent Trump era tweet sounds negative.

FOX News reports:

CNN called out for framing of inflation under Trump versus Biden in viral post

CNN is facing social media backlash after a social media user pointed out a perceived disparity in how the outlet framed the economy under President Donald Trump versus former President Joe Biden.

Following a Tuesday post on X from CNN regarding inflation under Trump, Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips pointed to a contrast in how inflation is framed now compared to Biden’s time in office.

In March 2023, CNN posted to their X account that “US inflation is still high, but it’s falling,” noting that the previous month’s “Consumer Price Index measured 6%, down from January’s 6.4%.”

Fast-forward to 2026, the outlet wrote on X that “US inflation remained at 2.7% in December, underscoring persistent cost of living challenges.”

This disparity in framing prompted Phillips to upload an image showing both statements, pointing out the difference between how CNN framed 6% inflation under Biden versus 2.7% inflation under Trump.

FBI Raids WaPo Reporter’s Home In Classified Docs Case

The FBI executed a search warrant on the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson as part of a probe into “a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials,” the paper announced Wednesday. 

Natanson, was at her Virginia home when the agency showed up with a warrant. According to the outlet, “law enforcement was investigating Aurelio Perez-Lugones, a system administrator in Maryland who has a top secret security clearance and has been accused of accessing and taking home classified intelligence reports that were found in his lunchbox and his basement.” The journalist’s home and devices were search. 

According to her X bio, Natanson covers “the Trump administration’s reshaping of the government and its effects.”

Perez-Lugones is a US citizen who was born in Miami and now resides in Laurel, Maryland according to the FBI’s criminal complaint. He has been a government contractor since 2002 and holds top secret security clearance. 

According to the complaint, at least one document found in Pererz-Lugones’ basement was related to national defense. WaPo reports that Natanson has been part of its most sensitive coverage in the 2nd Trump administration. She told WaPo that the FBI seized a phone and a Garmin watch. 

According to AG Pam Bondi: “his past week, at the request of the Department of War, the Department of Justice and FBI executed a search warrant at the home of a Washington Post journalist who was obtaining and reporting classified and illegally leaked information from a Pentagon contractor. ”

Red-Washing: How the media sanitizes a Marxist-Leninist revolutionary as a ‘preschool teacher’

When police in Michigan arrested Jessica Plichta live on air as she finished a TV news interview supporting Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro, she became an instant protest hero, seen as a victim of the heavy hand of law enforcement.

The 22-year-old from Grand Rapids was widely described in media reports as a “preschool teacher,” an “anti-war activist” and protest “organizer.” And while those descriptions are not wrong, they were hardly comprehensive. A Fox News Digital investigation reveals they are part of a pattern in the media in which the radical ties of leftist agitators are ignored, depriving readers of a deeper and more accurate picture of their sinister goals.

“Preschool Teacher, 22, Arrested on TV After Condemning Trump,” blared a headline in The Daily Beast, above an article that noted cynically, “Welcome to America.” The UK-based Guardian published an article framing her as a progressive “anti-war” activist. And Democracy Now, an anti-Trump platform, lamented, “Grand Rapids Police Arrest Protest Antiwar Organizer After She Condemns Trump.”

Few outlets reported that Plichta is a dedicated revolutionary in the radical Freedom Road Socialist Organization, a self-described Marxist-Leninist “organization of revolutionaries fighting for socialism in the United States.” The FBI in 2010 investigated the group for alleged ties to terrorist groups, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. It is part of a sprawling network of Marxist-Leninist groups funded by a China-backed billionaire and committed to sowing chaos on American streets, using issues from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to Elon Musk and President Donald Trump to fan the flames of discord.
