Mitt Romney: U.S. Capitol Riot Was ‘an Insurrection Against the Constitution’
Breitbart ^ | May 15, 2021 | Katherine Rodriguez

Posted on 05/15/2021 5:00:43 PM PDT by White Lives Matter

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) called the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol an “insurrection against the Constitution,” while other Republicans downplayed the riot’s significance.

Romney’s comments came as several Republicans, including Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), and Rep. Jody Hice Norman (R-GA), minimized the violence or made false claims about the attack.

Clyde said during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing Wednesday that calling what took place on January 6 “an insurrection” was “a boldface lie.”

...I think when he stopped taking his Lithium, things went down hill in a hurry....just like his hero, Hidin’ Joe Biden, maybe he needs to start taking his chocolate chip cookies and his sippy cup of warm milk earlier in the evening... he is certainly “out there....” as we used to say back in the Silly Sixties.....

I’ve been to picnics that were closer to insurrection.

There was no riot. It was a protest against the ‘crime of the century’.

Congress belongs to The People.
It is not a hiding place for fools who cry “help me” when they refuse to listen to “The People”

It was a small number of protesters against voter fraud
and a larger number of troublemakers (BLM, Antifa) piggybacking on it to make Trump look bad.
It most certainly was not an Insurrection.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was an abrogation of the Constitution by BOTH parties.

Imagine if President Trump had even hinted for his supporters to come to Washington and be ready if there is trouble. Then tens of thousands of people showed up, armed and ready. He tells them to march to the Capitol and march they do. About the only thing that could have slowed them down is if Army had decided to send in troops without permission of the Commander in Chief. Lacking that, Trump’s troops would have taken the Capitol and then who knows what... start a civil war, declare a new government, taken control of the submitted electoral votes, or just held the Capitol against anyone who tried to take it back. That would have been an insurrection - not the stay behind the velvet rope tour most “rebels” did.
