'What about 9/11?' Twitter users launch into furious frenzy after Joe Biden calls Capitol storming the 'worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War' in first address to Congress

Joe Biden said during his first address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday evening that the Capitol storming on January 6 was the 'worst attack' on democracy since the Civil War.

The claim immediately led to major backlash, especially from those on right-wing Twitter, who pointed to a slew of other tragedies in America between the 1860s and 2021 – like the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, Pearl Harbor, presidential assassinations and others.

'January 6 was worse than 9/11? Or Pearl Harbor?' Glenn Greenwald, a journalist and former attorney wrote in a Twitter thread.

I’m not sure if 9/11 was worse than Congress’s attacks on democracy since then.

This is the worst? The only person who died a violent death on Jan 6 was an unarmed protester at the hands of police. 4 others died in medical or other non-violent incidents. Sure, it got ugly, but not as ugly as the BLM/Antifa riots by far.

A lot depends upon if by democracy he means a tyranny of an ignorant undeserving collective, or a republic based upon individual liberty above all. Sometimes people use the word to mean the second, good, thing, even though it technically means kinda the opposite.

It’s certainly doubtful Twitter would allow such posts
to stand.

OTOH - “during his first address to a joint session of Congress”

would be the beef here. More apropos would be the words
during his ONLY address to a joint session of Congress.

Let it be so, my LORD, let it be so.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen

The dems know they have to cheat their way in, even in California, which should tell us all something. They are tyrants. They do not represent America. They know it, we know it. None of that matters to them.. just power for the sake of acquiring more.
He meant what he said, attacking the King is not acceptable. We have seen years of mobocracy. Protestitutes bused in to fergusen. These are the crucify crowd, there goal is the same.
To not stand with Christians is to lose this country for good.
The lie.. their policies and beliefs are majority.

Since when has Twitter become “right wing?”

Fake news indeed.

Weaponized victimhood combined with information warfare and a liberal dose of lawfare is the preferred method of war of the democrat party.

Also forgot to remember when 0bama’s political mentors Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn actually set off a bomb in the Capitol building.

WTH is wrong with Democrats?
They seem to be congenitally unable to use the word ‘Republic’.

Without the Republic, democracy devolves to ‘mob rule’. But perhaps that is what they want.

What about a hundred other things that have been worse, including a dozen by Biden and his big tech big media allies?
