Steve Benen is a lying piece of excrement.
“All we saw was a violent group of armed radicals storming the seat of the U.S. government”
In the modern era, “insurrections” involve firearms, and he certainly implies firearms with that statement. But there were none brandished by the protestors. There is no video of protestors with arms at the Capitol that I know of.
The protestors were from the firearms-owning half of perhaps the most well-armed citizenry on the planet, yet somehow they failed to bring any to so-called “insurrection”?
The use of that term is complete agitprop and intellectually dishonest at the highest level. It should be challenged any time it is used.
So 400 people try to take down the government...and that’s an insurrection?? Not one shot was fired by the villains...and the only person killed...was assassinated by a black LEO.
