From Courtroom Protests to Belfast Riots: VDH on Race Politics, Immigration, and California’s Mail-In Machine

“ Had the roles been reversed, the whole Black community would be up in arms. “They would say it was murder. But what I'm getting at is that America is so over that now. “After the ‘hands up, don’t shoot’ Michael Brown case—That was a complete lie. The Jussie Smollett case about MAGA people, that was a complete lie. The Duke lacrosse psychodrama, that was a complete lie. The Tawana Brawley rape hoax, that was a complete lie, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”   In this Friday news roundup, Victor Davis Hanson and co-host Sami Winc discuss the Karmelo Anthony murder conviction and reactions to it, arguing the facts were clear and contrasting it with past high-profile race narratives they call false. They also cover violent incidents involving immigrants, including an attempted beheading in Belfast, and claim public anger in the UK and U.S. is growing due to immigration, crime, and what they describe as a two-tier justice system and collapsing “critical legal theory” frameworks. Hanson criticizes prominent figures such as Cardi B and Jasmine Crockett for their comments, contends racial favoritism and DEI policies have fueled resentment, and says universities worsened racial relations. The episode also turns to California politics, alleging legalized vote-harvesting and lax election rules in Los Angeles races, and concludes with commentary on Democrat Senate candidate Graham Plattner and praise for renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
