Deneen describes the backlash from the left-wing activists from her recent Fox News debate regarding the armed protesters at a national wildlife building in Oregon. The left was outraged over Deneen's analysis that attributed the protest to longstanding friction between ranchers and farmers and the federal government that owns a significant amount of land in the Western states.
Deneen's views conflicted with the left-wing narrative about the Oregon protest that focused on a double standard regarding the way the protesters at the wildlife refuge are being treated by law enforcement and the media and the way they believe blacks and Muslims would be treated if they protested in a similar way.
Unfortunately, the confusion caused by the left by using the race card is distracting attention away from a common feature experienced by Western ranchers and blacks; the unfairness and unaccountability of government bureaucracies.
