Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) on Friday began asking Democratic colleagues to sign onto a resolution to censure three House Republicans who tried to minimize the severity of the Jan. 6 insurrection this week.

In a letter to fellow House Democrats, Cicilline said that a resolution will be forthcoming to specifically censure Republican Reps. Andrew Clyde (Ga.), Jody Hice (Ga.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.) for their remarks at a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on Wednesday downplaying and making false claims about the violent attack on the Capitol.

The Republicans should respond by offering resolutions to censure elected Democrats who have falsely exaggerated the events of January 6. That would be pretty much all of them.

GOP should move to censure Democrats for letting cities burn last summer and did nothing about it. (Most were Democrat-controlled cities.)

All the more reasons for the Republicans to call them out for saying nothing.

Ah, the stench of Fascism rises above Grandma Nan’s office like a pall of toxic miasma. Soon, if you even doubt that White Supremacy is rampant everywhere, and it the cause of all violence and racism, they will hit you with ostracization and of course, cancellation. Censure is just the beginning.

false claims about the violent attack on the Capitol

"violent attack on the capitol" is the false claim.

That’s it the USA under the democRAT rat bastards censure a member for free speech. 1/6 was a day American Patriots, who have since been pretty much abandoned by their fellow citizens, descended on DC to object to a fraudulent election and a coup against the POTUS. Now many languish in jail, some in solitary, without bail and adequate council. Shame on the USA.

That was a pretty amazing insurrection.

What previous insurrection in all of history happened without the insurrectionist killing a single member of the government?

The only person killed by gunfire during the insurrection was an unarmed insurrectionist killed by member of the force protecting the government.

More people were killed during the Peaceful Protest put on by the Leftist last summer. Those Peaceful Protestors burned buildings, looted stores, and killed those who dared to defend the helpless.

The Leftist Peaceful Protestors also forced Police to evacuate their police stations, attacked Federal Court houses and set up Automatous Zones in cities.

Was there an insurrection in Washington DC or major cities ruled by Democrats?
