This Shouldn’t Be A Surprise

On Thursday, Townhall posted an article about Cea Weaver, director of the New York City Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants, and her plans for New York City. The Founding Fathers are not turning over in their graves–they are spinning like tops!

The article reports:

Communists have always, invariably, hated the middle class. That’s why their policies destroy the middle class; they need the impoverished masses, over whom they can rule, and the wealthy class (of which they’re a part). Everyone else is an obstacle to their communist agenda.

…”I think that the United States public policy has done a really, really good job of pitting cash-poor homeowners and working class homeowners and middle class homeowners against renters,” Weaver said. “And we need to figure out how to navigate that as organizers. It’s really quite diffiuclt, right? Because, yes, Blackstone is a bigger and worse target than like, Mrs. Smith who owns 15 buildings, but Mrs. Smith who owns 15 buildings still, like, kind of stucks and has a lot more stability than renters. And there’s more of them than there are of the Blackstones.

“So it’s just like this challenging dynamic that white middle-class homeowners are a huge problem for a renter-justice movement,” Weaver added.

She’s intentionally conflating two things: the ownership of rental properties and homeownership. Weaver hates both, of course, so conflating the two is part of her agenda.

The article concludes:

Thankfully, the Constitution prevents the outright seizure of property, but as we’ve seen with civil asset forfeiture and all that, there are ways for the government to get around those pesky Constitutional rights.

Has Weaver’s mother sold her $1.6 million Tennessee home yet? Has Weaver herself moved out of Crown Heights after complaining about gentrification?

The answer to both of those questions is no, and that’s what we should tell Weaver: No. You’re not getting our property.

Another great example of “do as I say, not as I do!”
