I don't know what he was asked, but if the story is true, it must have been something like, "Do you think it will require a revolution to collapse the American government?" To which it seems he replied, "Yes, because….the resistance against this will be overwhelming…very strong….and relentless.”
What a very odd question to ask. I think it was intentionally loaded and inappropriate, frankly. And the man was caught off balance by it...as anyone might be.
Look, we've got to be able to look through media crap and realize that, first and foremost, they're after a story with legs. Even if they have to engineer one.
There's a video on the link.
He was the guy yelling "Revolution now!" at a previous event. He says this is the beginning of the revolution. The reporter asks him where it's going to go from here and he speaks about it going globally. He says in order for revolution to succeed, the protests needs to spread and become bigger everywhere. Then the reporter asks, "Do you think it's going to require collapsing the American government?"
I think it's an appropriate question after hearing what this guy's idea of the end goal is. And he seemed to not have a problem answering the question honestly. He thought for a second and said, "Uh...personally I think so because I feel that the resistance against this will be overwhelming..."
Seems like an honest line of questioning there. If you're talking about massive change, the question of completely transforming the government should be brought up.
