has been a major historical event in the history of our nation. They tried to disrupt our system of democracy by stopping peaceful transition of power at Presidential level.
Trump , his sleazy lawyer Giuliani provoked the assault and delayed action against it.
Traitors !

Your little attempt to steer this MAJOR event on our history to the woman who put herself directly in harms way is typically for you.

Says destroyer “ oh yeh but what about this and what about that “
And what about what happened in Seattle . Does not mitigate in any way what happened on Jan 6, 2021 in Washington DC

No, of course not. But it does point out the stark contrast in how they are reported, the "justice" that each party received and the degree of violence. And it wasn't just Seattle. It was Portland, DC and a host of other democrat controlled cities throughout the Country.

THIS is about the trump led Insurrection attempt to essentially overthrow our government and stop BIDEN from RIGHTFULLY becoming the next President .
And now the Republicans - including YOU who continually try to minimize it and steer away from what happened. To try to make it “ go away”.

Jan 6 was all about people exercising their lawful right to assemble and protest for a redress of their grievances as protected by the first amendment. Let that sink is..... they had the LAWFUL RIGHT to protest, unlike the rioters during the preceding summer. While some people (about 2.75%) did get out of hand and did cause some damage, the vast majority of the people (97.25%) demonstrated peacefully.

Bur of course you know this

Of course I know that. I never said it wasn't. But when you compare HOW the two groups of people have been treated there is a wide disparity. One group that did far more damage and injuries is let off with a slap on the wrist while the other group has the book thrown at them by a highly biased judge

If you did that honestly, you would have to conclude that the capitol offenders are getting hugely unfair sentences by comparison.

If you believe the capitol violence was the greatest threat to our democracy since the civil war, you shouldn’t be out without adult supervision - that is an absolutely ludicrous statement. Do you honestly believe there was ANY likelihood of the transfer of power being stopped?
