While speaking with USA Today on Wednesday, Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) stated that President Donald Trump “does bear some responsibility” for “inciting” with his rhetoric, “But, it’s not his fault” that people chose to break into the Capitol.

Cramer said, “The call to march and march down to the Capitol. It was inciting. And then the — and even his praise for Rudy Giuliani, who was calling for combat. I mean, it was just — it was all really awful. It was pouring fuel on a spark. So…he does bear some responsibility.”

He added, “But, it’s not his fault that people made decisions to break into this building and start desecrating the — this incredible temple of democracy. It’s every individual who made that decision’s fault.”

What rioters? That was peaceful protesting.

What buildings got burned? How many cops were injured by flying bottles full of poop and molotov cocktails?

Screw him. Where was all this concern when BLM was looting burning and murdering day after day for months? He and the rest were certainly aware of it, but only now do they put their names and their lying mouths out there.

It’s her fault her husband keeps hitting her. That she finally stood up to him is a tragedy, she should take her beatings and like them.

But the media isn’t responsible for years of calling us racists, stupid, uneducated, enemies of the state, deplorable, irredeemable. The Democrat party isn’t responsible for pushing this same line. The Justice system isn’t responsible for completely ignoring wanton criminal activity by our government and Federal police forces.

Nope, it’s our fault for not smiling and taking it.

A bunch of antifa types (2 dozen?) break INTO the Capitol building.

Charge them with trespassing and whatever damage they did.

Politicians like this will have to go before AMERICA is Great Again.

Oh and when does an “INSURRECTION” have its people stand around for a few hours and then go home? Unarmed people...

The lying demlefty MEDIA also needs major reforms before AMERICA is fully GREAT AGAIN.

Talking out of both sides of your face to try to make everyone smile like retarded chimps ad be happy with you doesn’t work. Instead, everyone knows you’re a pussy now, Senator. We all hate you.

If an immoral person knew that they could stand to gain a big fat property insurance settlement, they just may ummm “accidentally” broadcast that their house is full of goods and “accidentally” -oops! - leave the door unlocked...

This is what our government did yesterday.

They locked us down, closed our workplaces, forbade us to assemble for a YEAR. Then they blatantly stole a landslide election from us.

They let THEIR rioters loot, burn and kill and destroy all year. They let criminals like Hillary and Hunter Biden go free.

We were a powder keg and they designed it that way.

They have been waiting eagerly for us to FINALLY do some “protesting” of our own. Yesterday we did that.

They knew that all it would take to set off the powder keg was one little spark.
They knew that of 70+ million Trump supporters, it would be easy peasy to lure and prod a handful into violence. It was simple.

They’ve been setting this up and enough of us (or them) were seen playing into it.
