Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) referred to the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol as a "violent riot" a day after his party's leader called the episode a "violent insurrection."
Rubio, in an interview with NewsNation this week, suggested he disagrees with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) characterization of the Jan. 6 attack, saying "riot" is a more accurate descriptor for the event than "insurrection."
I have heard most of the GOP call J6 a “riot.”
That is what it was but not on the part of most of the Patriots who were swept up into it.
I think it was a very scary deal for those in the Capitol who didn’t know what was happening.
But I also feel it was a staged event by Nasty and her minions and aided by the CP.
