Why Cowardly Republicans Got Hysterical about the Capitol Riots
American Thinker ^ | 11 Jan, 2021 | Jack R. Carlsson

Over the last six months, Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa riots caused two billion dollars in property damage, killed at least 25 people, and injured over 2,000 police officers. Rioters occupied and burned a police station in Minneapolis. They attacked a federal courthouse in Portland every night for months. In Seattle, Antifa set up an "autonomous zone" where five people were murdered, including two teenagers shot to death when they drove "too fast" near an armed checkpoint.

Senator Kamala Harris applauded the rioters. In June, amid the burning and looting of large swaths of Minneapolis, she said the riots were "not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not." Then she raised money to bail rioters out of jail.

Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan called Seattle's Antifa autonomous zone a "summer of love" before five people died. Two months after the riots began, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley called for more "unrest in the streets." Vice President Joe Biden did not condemn the rioting for weeks.

Along the way, "progressive" district attorneys have avoided prosecuting rioters. "Insignificant" crimes like arson, looting, and assaulting a police officer will not land a rioter in jail. Often, D.A.s refuse even to charge them. When serial rioters commit more serious crimes, such as throwing a Molotov cocktail at a police officer, charges are reduced or dropped.

The videos showing people being let in to the Capital (indicating a setup) are not shown on MSM. And Republicans don’t seem to be mentioning it.

Its a confirmed set up. But it went too far for Pelosi. Tere are observers who say that a cadre of special ops undercover military actually entered Pelosi’s office and seized her lap top and other incriminating documents.

This is why the huge caterwauling about impeachment. They know {resident Trump is coming for them, coming outside the box.President Trump will have the full authority of President up to the moment of Biden’s illegal inauguration, and he can be moving to take them out for their crimes.

The Republicans are hysterical about the Capitol "riots" for the same reason Democrats are: These morons have such an unwarranted over-inflated view of themselves that they have to turn a mildly hostile fraternity prank in their own sacred chambers into an "insurrection."

These have now become the defining images of America's government, and they can't bring themselves to admit that this is all dead-on accurate:

That is not true. They were breaking down barricades etc. and the capital police were overwhelmed. If they could, capital police in the building led the rioters away from members.

IMHO, the rally Trump held should have been held on the week-end not on the day of voting. The Dems seized the opportunity to “riot, destroy, terrorize” and the nation to see it was because of a Trump rally. They have allowed the pro riot people from this summer to say well there is a difference because President incited people to interfere with Democracy and voting, etc.

Again, we fell into a trap. Did the President really believe that violent groups wouldn’t hijack it at the capital with StealtheVote going on at the capital as well?

Again, REPUBLICANS AS A GROUP MARCHING IN FRONT OF CAMERAS as a United FRONT to call out the violent riots for 6 months that were encouraged, incited, approved by all THE DEMS, the DEM GOVS AND MAYORS all over US. The deaths, the billions of dollars of losses, the terrorizing of citizens in neighborhoods, the burning of Federal buildings, police buildings, etc.

Instead they folded as usual and gang banged the President and their people who have voted for them over the years to get the House, Senate and Presidency.

We’ve know since 2007 about DOMINION machines and did nothing when in power to have them banned for use when in the majority.

Bottom line the GOP hates their supporters that are conservatives or not GOPE groupies and they will always throw them under the bus in the end.

Why?

The are dumb A$$es and they long ago sold out for money.

They hate Trump because he was tearing up the honey pot of cash bribes from foreign sources.

Poor analogy. Donald Trump was never an aspiring tyrant.
