Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN) Wednesday on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” likened the January 6 Capitol Hill riot to the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Dangerous hyperbole
Steve Cohen and sanity are strangers.
Was it as bad as March 01, 1954 when five members of Congress were shot by Puerto Rican Nationalists (sentences later commuted by Bill Clinton)?
Was it as bad as March 1, 1971, when the Weather Underground bombed the Capitol? (never prosecuted)
Was it as bad an November 07, 1983 when the ‘R bombed the Senate? (sentences commuted by, you guessed it, Bill Clinton)
Hmmm . . . after Pearl Harbor, FDR interned Japanese living in the US.
I suppose Steve advocates interning Trump supporters?
Pearl Harbor: 2,403 dead. Major damage to US Navy, many ships destroyed.
What amazing stupidity to make this comparison.
Exactly. Just have some “official” say something, anything, no matter what as long as it fits the narrative and the corrupt MSM will take it from there. Jim Comey and the whole fake Russia thing proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Good post
Other events that the January hubbub might be compared to:
1) The atomic bombing of Nagasaki (not Hiroshima, that would be too trite.)
2) The Trail of Tears.
3) The firebombing of Dresden.
4) The Holocaust.
5) Israel.
6) Teaching children that there are only two genders.
7) The Keystone Pipeline.
8) Somebody using the “N” word in public.
9) Pointing out that MMGW is malarkey.
10) Those darned raccoons.
This won’t go very far as he is going over the heads of the idiots he’s trying to rile up with this historical reference.
“Memphis might be in Tennessee, but it is NOT Tennessee....”
Ha! I like that. I’ve owned a couple of houses in the Smokies. That is Tennessee.
As Tucker put forth the other night, these people are diseased. Their brains are eaten away with drugs, worms or just plain rot.
Yes... I remember the newsreel footage well -
Showing the Japanese entering Hawaii in single file, UN-ARMED and staying between the roped off sections... looking around like they were sight-seeing, taking pictures...
Oh yes, they we’re DEFINITELY the same..
“..ACTUALLY ATTACKED our congressmen.“
Did they REALLY, now?...
Funny thing... I seem to recall that every Congress critter hustled immediately to their safe, underground basement bunker as soon as they HEARD that CITIZENS were being let in.
Never heard of ONE incident involving a Congress critter and a citizen. Not one...
However, Republicans like Rand Paul aren’t safe in their own yards without being beaten by leftists..
And Republicans can practice their softball without being SHOT BY LEFTIST DEMOCRATS.
Cry me a river, politicians...
Exactly right!!!!!!
I’m pretty sure everyone on the island knew there was an attack at Pearl Harbor.
We were on the backside of the Capitol and had no idea. Cohen is an idiot.
Ballot stuffing works! Look what the cat dragged in.
Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN) is DELUSIONAL!
Lesser morons elect morons. Districts like his are best avoided.
Cohen and CNN belong together.
The most galling thing for me is that despite having any number of sources—accurate or not—literally at their fingertips to look up what they don't know, the younger generation simply doesn't bother and instead accepts the BS shoveled to them.
