In a quest to make you think their side is right, they’ve all got it wrong.
To put it mildly, January 6th, 2021 wasn’t the best day in our country’s history. We doubt that you need a reminder, but it was what is now called Insurrection Day.
What went wrong leading up to the angry mob entering the Capitol Building, while in the building, and afterward? Everything.
Then President Trump put himself before the country by denying the election results. We’re still waiting for credible evidence of that at a level that would be meaningful.
Too many of his followers are followers and not clear thinkers and decided to cross a (fence) line. Once there, there is no going back.
Trump knew as much and asked Nancy Pelosi days before if she wanted him to activate the National Guard to help with the protest control. She declined. Trap set.
Once inside the building, more of them looked like the joggers that ran behind Forrest Gump when old Forrest decided to stop in the middle of nowhere. Now what? Stupid and harmless.
Did the government actively participate in whipping the crowd into the fervor it took to storm/push/walk casually in? Was Ray Epps a paid FBI informant? The select committee of all Democrats plus Liz Cheney says no. The hard right says yes and supposedly Epps will testify as such in the new House’s investigation.
Have numerous judges doled out sentences for what amounts to trespassing for some participants seem harsh? When you watch the daily blatant theft and violence that numerous cities now fail to arrest much less prosecute for the answer seems like “hell yes.”
Did the Dem stacked committee shape the story by selectively showing us footage inside? You bet they did. It’s called political theater.
Rep Josh Hawley is seen running for his life in the committee’s opportunistic edited video and laughed at for doing so. It turns out that he was following a crowd, not leading nor acting independently, that was following the police’s command.
The repeated and repeated story that Capitol Police Officer Sicknick was shot and killed during the riot(do you prefer insurgence?) is not true. Footage shows him alive and working through the day.
His family will tell you that the stress that this caused in turn caused him to stroke and die the next day. That may be the true cause of his passing, and it may not.
Once Kevin McCarthy got the gavel after four failed votes he released all of the thousands of hours of video.
He released it exclusively to Fox Show Host Tucker Carlson. His standing with the far right needed a boost.
Tucker and the team created a two-part special examining the video from his point of view. Surely his ratings will get a boost, too.
In other words, the Dems hired a former TV producer (yes they did) to help them televise the hearings that weren’t hearings, but the Republicans effectively hired a TV show with a producer to televise what they want you to see and hear.
And, like the minions that they are, the not fair and balanced networks immediately attacked Tucker’s talking points. They said he omitted the violent confrontations but showed the protester’s calmness once inside. They’re right.
But, they’re the same ones that have a TV reporter on the ground in St. Louis telling you that the protests are mostly peaceful all the while a now windowless Mickey D’s is ablaze in the background. And, for that, they are wrong.
Everyone wants to tell you that they’re right because the “other side” is wrong.
See it my way. See it my way. It’s the only way. Otherwise, I’m offended.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Neither do two dozen.
