CNN didn't even quote he properly.

He said "beautiful thing" He seems to be asking a rhetorical question.

Then he finished the thought:

"No, because after we take all that crap for weeks and weeks, and you finally see men get up there and go right through them, wasn't it really a beautiful sight? It's called law and order."

So much for a reliable news source.
Getting shot with a rubber bullet during an event that you refuse to report as being violent is ironic or poetic justice.

CNN says rubber bullet; but in the same article, when they quote Trump, he's talking about a teargas canister.

" Trump said. "He got hit in the knee with a canister of tear gas and he went down. He was down. 'My knee, my knee.' Nobody cared, these guys didn't care, they moved him aside."

So which was it?

I wouldn't trust CNN for the facts.

I don't know, CNN didn't provide a video of Trump making the speech, just told us what he is alleged to have said.
uhmmm...there's a video in the link from CNN with the speech right there in the OP. :wave:

Ok.

Well, considering that the source is CNN, it's already skewed. CNN has never liked Trump once he declared his intention to run for president. (snip)
...Classic ad hominin fallacy, when you can't address the point, attack the source instead, don't feel bad though, considering what President Trump gives his supporters to work with this has pretty much been President Trump supporters response for almost four years now.

CNN destroyed themselves over a decade ago.

But. By all means. Keep drinking the koolaid.

I simply presented you with a view which is antithetical to your own beliefs.

And it's by a well-educated writer.

had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum, then Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.

You do realize that about 3/4 of Wehrmacht died fighting the Soviets ?

While nobody is denying US contributions it is pretty misleading to think that without those contributions Axis would have won.

That Ok is plenty. Thank you for contributing.
So, you can question other's ideas, but we're not allowed to question yours?

That sounds like a rather inequitable conversation.

Roosevelt's actions during the war, and his choice of Patton was simply to elucidate the importance of fighting against evil, whether during war or peace.

Ignoring evil during peace only gives evil a foothold, and then it works its deception.

Nikita Khrushchev went on the record saying that Lend-Lease is how the USSR was able to stay in the war. Otherwise, the Soviet counter-offensives in late 1941 wouldn't have happened and Germany would've won. If Moscow had surrendered, it's hard to imagine how the Allies could've won the war with or without America.

Yeah, a clipped video which removed the context of what Trump was saying. He didn't say the reporter getting hit with the canister was beautiful, but was referring to the cops taking control of the street.

Also, Ali Velshi claimed the cops moved in unprovoked.

He was wrong, there had been a riot taking place long before which is why they moved in and shot tear gas after telling the mobs to disperse. However, the mob refused and so the cops took control of the streets.

Sorry if this upsets you, but the violence in these cities has got to stop and CNN needs to stop spinning the facts of what's going on.

That's how CNN spun it

A Trump Campaign spokesperson said that Trump was calling the end of the protest was a beautiful thing, not that Velshi was injured.

I don't know, CNN didn't provide a video of Trump making the speech, just told us what he is alleged to have said.

That's how a Trump Campaign spokesperson spun it. Trump always praises violence. Remember his boast that he could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and get away with it?

The video shows how it was clipped and spun to mean something different

The police were quite a distance away. Did they give an order to disperse? Was he too far away to identify as a journalist? Was it a stray shot intended for someone who was threatening an officer, who was evading immanent danger? Was it a ricochet? We may never know.
