The ignominious events in the nation's capital on Wednesday, January 6 will not soon be forgotten. Images of an enraged mob overpowering police and breaching the walls of the U.S. Capitol, the West's preeminent citadel of republican self-governance, will hinder Americans' already-cratering faith in their government's institutional integrity and tarnish their belief in American exceptionalism. These are the sort of sordid deeds, and the sort of searing images, that one normally associates with malefactors in a developing nation or a banana republic—not what Abraham Lincoln once called the "last best hope of earth."
Hypocrisy, of course, abounds. It is more than a little rich for partisan Democrats and their sycophantic media mouthpieces to only now condemn anarchic mayhem and the wanton destruction of private and public property, following their systemic refusal to do so amidst last summer's harrowing, months-long Antifa/Black Lives Matter riotous rampage across the nation's urban corridors. As for the "health professional" charlatans who once argued against restricting the "mostly peaceful" protests in the name of the greater "public health crisis" of "systemic racism," they are now silent during an actual crisis of national political health, wherein recent polling suggests nearly 40 percent of Americans doubt the legitimacy of the recent presidential election.

More Newsweak crap?
Yes. He should go to a country without extradition and enjoy the rest of his life.
NewsLeak sucks for anything.
Coz he’s soooooo evillllll the worst bad man in all history ../s they hate him cause he dissed Obama their deadbeat daddy
Can’t find where Newsweak welcomed him in the first place.
Aren’t too many. I wish he would go somewhere safe, too.
Impossible to take a publication seriously that called the January 6 protest a “coup attempt”.
Wow! Just wow! That was ignorant.
Wasn’t Newsweek sold for $1 a few years ago?
Oh that’s funny! They wish he would go away.
If Newsweek cared about journalism they would close their doors and use the last issue to explain their shame...and the shame of their profession.
Always remember, anything from a news source that was sold for one dollar is not worth its weight in salt.
How about YOU go away?!??!
oh ok, thanks for the advice.....GFY
Newsweek. Are they the magazine who sold for $1, or the one who sold for $0?
Its always good to take political advice from such people
/s
Nice post. Thanks for responding in a mature manner without name calling and esp for sharing your thoughts in a respectful way.
I’m wishing 75 million Americans would destroy the media by whatever means it takes.
Like rigged elections and uniparty rule.
