Unity Fail: Biden Says Capitol Rioters *Worse* than Slave-owning Confederates Joe Minimizes Slavery with Unhinged Attack on Trump Supporters
Breitbart ^ | 13 Jul 2021 | KATHERINE HAMILTON

President Joe Biden claimed on Tuesday that January 6 rioters are worse than slave-owning Confederates in the Civil War because they breached the U.S. Capitol.

During a Tuesday speech in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Biden mocked Republicans for their attempts to pass voter integrity legislation.

He said:

The assault on free and fair elections is just such a threat — literally. I’ve said it before. We’re facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. It’s not hyperbole — since the Civil War. Confederates, back then, never breached the Capitol as insurrectionists did on January 6. I’m not saying this to alarm you. I’m saying this because you should be alarmed.

While it is true Confederate soldiers never breached the U.S. Capitol, the Civil War was the nation’s bloodiest war, with an estimated 750,000 deaths.

The only person who died as a direct result of violence in the January 6 riot was Ashli Babbitt, a United States Air Force veteran. She was unarmed when she was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer as she climbed through a broken door into the Speaker’s Lobby.

Three other people who died had medical emergencies, and Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick suffered two strokes at the base of his brainstem as a result of a blood clot in an artery the day after the riot, Breitbart News reported.

Before his “not-hyperbole,” Biden said that “bullies and merchants of fear and peddlers of lies are threatening the very foundation of our country,” in reference to the GOP.

if the GOP fails to deliver that to its base voters they will abandon the GOP and it will die as a political party

Naa, they'll just shift to the left and be dem lite even more than they are now. It will be bipartisan communism.

The assault on free and fair elections has been by cheating Democrats.

War is coming. Best be ready.

I personally am looking forward to a real-life version of "The Purge."

I got plenty of ammo. Let's party!

The Constitution did not mean much to him when he participated in the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

British subject/Kenyan/Indonesian Obama is not a natural born citizen and they ALL knew it.

Unbelievable - the only person killed was an unarmed white female Trump supporter

Is Joe Biden unhinged? Is he afraid of the Pennsylvania audit?

The disturbance on January 6th was orchestrated by the Democrats and their friends. Ninety precent of the violence was by Democrats trying to incite a riot and blame Trump.

The basis of the protest was lack of voter integrity and fraud. Joe Biden may not be our legitimate president.

He should order the Congress to stand down until the issue of voter fraud is settled. He should stop pretending that he won.

“Confederates, back then, never breached the Capitol as insurrectionists did on January 6”


How about when Puerto Rican separatists ‘breached the Capitol’ and shot Congressman? That was in your lifetime, Joe. While at it they also attacked the President’s home, Blair House. Then there was the bomb that blew up in the 80s, that was a breach, wasn’t it?

The only weapons deployed during the ‘insurrection’ was by House security. The only one killed was an unarmed woman.

Would any of the esteemed members of the ‘Fourth Estate’ bring these actual facts up and challenge him on his obvious lies and distortions of history?

The Democrats had an actual klan leader sitting in the US Senate until the last decade in Robert Byrd.

If only we had an opposition party to rub the Democrats racist history in their faces.

"Maybe they are waiting for Tucker Carlson to give the ok. According to some people on here you are supposed to wait for talk show hosts to talk about it first. Talk show hosts know all. That’s what I was actually just told."

it wouldn't surprise me the republican party is that idiotic because they never win.

Joe: “We need to face reality. There has never been anything quite as terrible as the January 6th riot. Even the Holocaust pales in comparison to the evil of the rioters!”

If he keeps that crap coming, he really is going to have something to complain about, from exile.

“War is coming.”

I have been wondering what got our beloved President so worked up that he needed to give this speech at this time. You may very well be right. He could be laying the groundwork for annihilating Trump supporters. That would tie in with his remarks about F-15s and nukes.

When you take those two sets of remarks together, it’s like he’s telegraphing a coming purge, hoping to shame and subdue any opposition to it.

Wow.
