“It was zero threat. Right from the start, it was zero threat.”
So, according to Republicans, the 1/6 insurrection was just a normal day of tourism at the Capitol yet Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is responsible for the “tragedy!”
So nothing happened and it’s a tragedy. Well, that doesn’t sound right.
And yet.
On the one hand
Loser Ex-President Donald Trump says in defending the Capitol insurrections:
“It was zero threat. Right from the start, it was zero threat. Some of them went in and they’re, they’re hugging and kissing the police and the guards. You know, they had great relationships. A lot of the people were waved in and then they walked in and they walked out.”
So we have the Loser Ex-President acknowledging that the seditionists were in fact his supporters.
Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA):
"It
was not an insurrection...if you didn't know the TV footage was a video from
January the 6th you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit."
On the other hand
This is also what the majority of Republicans believe.
Republican Rep. (State) Mark Baisley:
“It does not make any sense to me that Trump patriots would storm the U.S. Capitol to interrupt a Congressional challenge to the Electoral College results,” Baisley wrote. “The violent and arrogant actions of this attack (scaling walls, breaking windows) matches the signature of Antifa rioters. I hope that many arrests are made and identities of the sponsors revealed.”
Their were and they were.
Meanwhile the third way
Democrats
want to investigate the Capitol insurrection that took place on 1/6. Seems like
patriotic citizens should want that to happen. It should be at least as
concerning to all of us as Benghazi was to Republicans. Their Special Committee
held 33 hearings and spent at least 7 million dollars investigating Benghazi.
It seems like an attempted coup of our nation should be at least as interesting
to them. But it isn’t. They would rather investigate black people and find them
guilty.
Trails end
The problem for Republicans is that they have a better than real good idea where the investigation is going to end up. The problem is that the majority of Republicans on the inside (Congress) were attempting a soft coup while Trump supporters on the outside were attempting a hard coup. They are only less guilty of being violent. They are just as guilty of being like their seditious racist brethren that are being charged for their crimes.
There are Bigly fish to fry.
