The Capitol Hill riot made for some colorful photos, but despite some theater had no actual effect and posed no threat to members of Congress. Unlike the time that James Hodgkinson, a Bernie Sanders supporter, opened fire at a Congressional charity baseball game while carrying a hit list of Freedom Caucus members.
The Democratic National Committee announced that Resistance Summer would begin in June. James Hodgkinson, a Bernie Sanders volunteer, delivered by opening fire on Republicans playing baseball.
Hodgkinson had spent the weeks before the shooting staring at the site of his future attack and working on his laptop. What was he doing on his laptop? Ranting about Trump and Republicans.
The left-wing terrorist who opened fire on Republicans practicing for a charity baseball game, an event to which they had brought their children, didn’t come up with his own ideas. His Facebook pages were dumpsters rotting with reposted left-wing hate. There was Bill Moyers’ Resistance plan along with Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Rachel Maddow, Robert Reich and Noam Chomsky.
They helped shape Hodgkinson’s conviction that Republicans had to be destroyed. Or as the title of a Facebook group that he belonged to put it, “Terminate the Republican Party.”
A few days before the attack, the Huffington Post ran a piece calling for executing Trump “and everyone assisting in his agenda”. It has since come down, but a similarly themed piece defending a “violent response” to President Trump is still up.
It was Bernie Sanders who claimed that “thousands of Americans would die” if Republicans repealed ObamaCare. “Families will go bankrupt. People will die,” Elizabeth Warren had tweeted.
It's curious how little coverage there was of an assault that severly wounded a Republican House member and was meant to kill many more, compared to a mentally ill man killing a Republican judge and wounding former Rep. Gabby Giffords.
And it was the new Democrat normal.
David Kustoff (R-Tenn.) had his car nearly run off the road and was then threatened. Indivisible Team protests at Dana Rohrabacher’s office (R-CA.) ended with a 71-year-old female staffer being injured by the actions of the leftist protesters.
On September 9, Rudy Peters, the Republican running for Congress in the 15th District in California, was attacked by a knife-wielding man shouting, “F___ Trump”.
The attacker, Farzad Fazeli, an Iranian Clinton supporter, had previously posted, “Don Trump won’t clean his own house, so he’s too dirty to know right from wrong. Impeach/incarcerate him before more children die. P.S. complacency is worse than being the shooter.”
Next month, Shane Mekeland, a Republican running for the Minnesota House of Representatives, suffered a concussion after being punched in the face at a restaurant. “You f____g people don’t give a s___ about the middle class,” his assailant had shouted at him.
“If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, at a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Rep. Maxine Waters had urged an angry leftist mob.
Eric Holder, Obama’s attorney general and a possible 2020 candidate, had urged, “When they go low, we kick them.” He had tweeted at Democrats, urging them to, “Use the rage.”
Senator Hirono had refused to condemn the harassment of Republicans, telling CNN, “This is the kind of activism that occurs and people make their own decisions. If they violate the law, then they have to account for that.”
That same month, also in Minnesota, State Rep. Sarah Anderson, a Republican, was punched by a man when she tried to stop him from vandalizing her campaign signs.
Also in October, Kristin Davison, the campaign chief for Adam Laxalt, the Republican candidate for governor in Nevada, was left with pain and bruises after a confrontation with a Democrat operative. Her alleged assailant faces a charge of misdemeanor battery.
Rep. David Kustoff was nearly run off the road.
And this is far from all of it.
There's a basic reality check here about who was responsible for the preponderance of the political violence in this country and where it's coming from.
Democrats? Violence? I don’t get it. /$
Get the damn GOP and conservative weaklings back on the stick.
I refuse to suspend logic.
If this incident was disqualifying then Biden and the rest of them could not be allowed to hold office.
They have incited much much worse.
now the dems are lying about the prospects of impeachment. It cannot be done, they need to stop lying and getting their radical supporters and the media all pumped up for something that will never happen.
The GOP are useless and they hate us as well. Yes, the worst hasn’t even occurred yet and I blame them all. They are corrupt, cowardly liars and backstabbers.
There was no riot.
I saw plenty of rioting this year, complete with burning and looting.
I was there, there was no riot.
You are suspending logic when you think the GOP is on your side.
Have you written and posted an account of your experience? If not, please do. We need firsthand information.
I was there too. Met some of the nicest and most polite people ever. There were some rowdy’s. Quite a few actually. Not rioters. People that took 2-3 days off from their jobs to be there. Most, with the blessing of their employer.
Journalist Alex Newman says if you think the certification of Joe Biden as President means it’s over, you are wrong. It is not over, and the Deep State coup plotters are afraid of President Trump invoking something called the “Insurrection Act.” That act allows him to stop a coup or an attack on America by using the military or militia. Trump has said that he has tried to overturn the fraudulent election by all legal means and has failed. Newman says, “Former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) General Michael Flynn says he is 100% sure Trump will be President for the next four years. He said it was a ten out of ten. Flynn knows things we don’t know, and Flynn is dealing with the President on a regular basis. . . .

No, I don’t do vanities.
I arrived late, my son was watching RSBN live stream in the car, so I heard the speeches, but we arrived just in time to join the walk to the Capitol.
The route was rather circuitous and the DC police had intentionally obstructed the route with vehicles, creating pinch points. All of which were politely ignored by the patriots. We ignored the hostile stares of some of the many police lining side streets.
At one of the cross streets as we approached the Capitol, two cop cars with lights and sirens caused the column to halt as the escorted a bus with blacked out windows across our path.
I joked to my son that the police were escorting Antifa/BLM to the front. (may not have been wrong)
When we got to the Capitol, I could not get closer than 500 yards from the building.
I saw people climbing the front and thought it odd.
I could not tell from that distance who it was.
We saw columns of vehicles with light and sirens on both parallel streets on either side of us.
We started heading back to the car (I had to get back to get dinner for my disabled wife) when word spread through the crowd that the building had been breached.
The list of democrats and their violence has been going on before 1861. And has gone on since 1968. And has gone since 1972, and so on and so forth (there has been right-wing violence, albeit very small in most metrics).
So it is very difficult to list them all.
I’ll mention Bull Conner, pick a Panther (black), or Philly’s Rizzo cracking heads...did I mention the Daleys?
The Dems, Communist, socialists know how to kill and control.
Nice to rant w/o getting a warning on your post or getting out in fb jail or having your account suspended.
Watch...
Mark Zuckerberg can go and reproduce asexually.

Of.
Of.

Oh yes, they’ve been violent for decades. It’s who they are.

Sorry NO Demlefties, Those weren’t Trump Supporters to blame Trump for.
Just look at them and compare to the QUARTER MILLION outside who DIDN’T befoul the inside of the
Capitol Building. Anarchist tattoos ??? Sorry no. Those are Leftist-fed INSTIGATORS, who went there
to Cause Trouble - The same antifa/anarchist hooligan types that were the darlings of the Demleftyb
media and apologized-for and enabled-by so many Dem politicians.
ALL An excuse for the America-hating media wankers and the Deep state politicians to overthrow and
smear Trump.
It was the demlefty Media who ENABLED those creepy people allowing this country’s hateful raging
socialists to paint the 250000 outside through their bigotted-lunacy.
Now all those demlefty miscreants are calling to insta-impeach Trump — to “25th him”.
The anti-america media and the deep-staters are the ones who should be “25th’d” by THEIR BOSSES (THE
PEOPLE - the Sane half of the country who voted for Trump (the anti-socialist) and had the election
STOLEN from them (and the sane 30% of Dems who understand THAT disgusting election rigging happened).
