"I hate to say it, but it sure appears that they are willing to at least accept violence if it will meet the ends that they wish," Rep. Scott Perry said.
During a tumultuous week, Democrats pressed hard during a prime time televised hearing to condemn the violence 18 months ago during the Jan. 6 riots while staying mostly muted on the arrest of an alleged assassin targeting conservative Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh over abortion rights.
The performance has many critics seeing a hypocritical double standard.
Liberal Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said Democrats' Jan. 6 hearings have been staged to be so unfair and one-sided that it reminded him of the work of the late Sen. Joe McCarthy decades ago or a production of the Soviet-era Pravda network.
"This reminds me of my youth, when, at eight o'clock at night, we would watch the House Un-American Activities Committee, or the McCarthy committee, holding spectacle hearings in order to tell one side of the story, never having anybody to present the counter narrative," Dershowitz told the Just the News, Not Noise television show.
"But at least in those days, you had an almost equal number of people on the Democrat side," he added. "Here we have Nancy Pelosi fixing, rigging the committee, making sure that the only two nominal Republicans on the committee are anti-Trump Republicans so that nobody will present a counter narrative. It's just so Pravda."
Dershowitz said while Democrats have roundly criticized former President Donald Trump's speech on Jan. 6 as incitement -- comments the law professor said were actually protected by the First Amendment -- they have not condemned Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer's threats to Kavanaugh and Justice Neil Gorsuch that they "will pay the price" for their stances on abortion.

The soviet show trials would make Stalin smile.
Their double standard is going to bite them in their collective (and very putrescent) Obamaholes in the near future. They will overstep, and they will regret it. And I will enjoy watching.

Wow! Really?! Maybe many sheeple are waking up. I hope so at least.
The January 6 committee supports political violence , unless they are on the receiving end.
Congress needs to squash all political violence, otherwise we will destroy our nation. The violence and intimidation we have seen leveled at our conservative SCOTUS justices and congressmen must stop.
WHY would he "hate to say it"?
It's the truth!
9 months of non-stop riots. Supported by Democrats. $Billions of dollars in damage.
...and...
There were way more riots and destruction when Trump was inaugurated.
That, and there’s the whole 2020 summer of love that burned down cities.
Would love to see a movie made from clips of those “peaceful protests”, and have it debut right before the midterm elections!
Call it “2020 Asses”.
Sorry, Dersh, but McCarthy was right.
The left has ALWAYS had a romantic vision of “violent revolution”. They view those who engage in violence as their heroes, i.e., Mao, Che, Castro, Lenin, Stalin, and a host of others from the 3rd World. Mao said Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, they believed it then, and they believe it now. That is why they want to control ALL the guns, and why they are so willing to use their guns against anyone who disagrees with them.
“Many see Democrat double standard on political violence when it comes to Jan. 6, Kavanaugh threat”
Hey, just because Chuck Tumor ... I mean Schumer threatened two Supreme Court Judges doesn’t mean any nut job should take that serious ... oh wait, that’s already happened ... then just refer him to the DOJ to indict him ... oh wait,they are only worried about white supremacists aren’t they and he is a Democrat ... noting to see ... just move on.
With the help of the US Gestapo (FBI) they are trying to kill at least one Supreme Court Justice so the dim witted senile faux President can name another black bigot. Meritless Garland will get his revenge for not getting appointed, have another “take away their guns” moment, and have a 5-4 court when you count compromised Roberts. Might even be audacious enough to nominate Meritless again. The FBI will be in on it.
