After impeaching President Donald Trump for the so-called insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, House Democrats want to, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi put it, "establish a bipartisan agreement for a 9/11-style commission to report on the facts and the causes of the attack." Before the Senate vote to establish this commission, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, "The American people will see where every member stands: on the side of truth or on the side of Donald Trump's big lie."
Having already pronounced Jan. 6 an "insurrection" sparked by Trump's "big lie," Democrats like Pelosi and Schumer tell us, with a straight face, they only want "the facts," which they did not need before impeaching Trump. About Trump's so-called big lie, Democrats insist it "undermines our democracy" and "compromises the integrity of the vote." These are the same Democrats who, for four-plus years, allowed Hillary Clinton to call the 2016 election "stolen" and Trump "illegitimate." Somehow, our republic survived.
How have claims made by Clinton and others affected the way Democrats view the 2016 election?
The nearly 1,000-page Senate report on 2016 election interference found, "The Committee has not seen any evidence that vote tallies were manipulated or that voter registration information was deleted or modified." The Senate report reached no conclusion on whether Russian interference affected the outcome of the election. President Barack Obama's Department of Homeland Security secretary, Jeh Johnson, testified, "I am not in a position to know whether the successful Russian government-directed hacks of the DNC and elsewhere did in fact alter public opinion and thereby alter the outcome of the presidential election." But Johnson's testimony did not stop California Sen. Dianne Feinstein from saying the interference "altered the outcome" of the election.
According to a 2018 YouGov poll, 66% of Democrats believe that "Russia tampered with vote tallies in order to get Donald Trump elected." And according to a 2018 Gallup poll, 78% of Democrats believe Russian interference "changed the outcome of the election." Again, Democrats completely ignore the report's finding that the Russians changed not a single vote tally. Again, the report reached no conclusion on whether the Russian interference changed the outcome of the 2016 election, but Democrats either do not care or do not believe what the report says about vote tallies and the election outcome.
Given the rejection of these findings, one must ask whether Democrats pushing for a Jan. 6 commission truly want "the facts about what happened." Because it looks like this is just another Trump Derangement Syndrome-driven attempt to smear the man they fear will come roaring back in 2024.
Why do Democrats remain so fearful of Trump? Remember these numbers: 4, 6, 8 and 12.
In 2008, when Barack Obama got elected, his Republican opponent received 4% of the Black vote. When Obama won reelection, the Republican got 6% of the Black presidential vote. When Trump ran in 2016, he received 8% of the Black vote. When Trump ran for reelection in 2020, Republicans received 12% of the Black vote, a 50% increase over the previous four years. Republicans haven't reached that percentage of the Black vote since 1980, when President Ronald Reagan got 14%.
Quite simply, this 4%, 6%, 8%, 12% trendline gives Democrats nightmares. These numbers are moving in the wrong direction. So, Biden and the Democrats push the "systemic racism" theme despite the election of a Black man who received a greater percentage of the white vote than Democrat John Kerry, who ran four years earlier. Democrats push this narrative despite the election of Black mayors, police chiefs and superintendents of schools in most of America's big cities. Democrats double down on telling Blacks that they are victims, whether they know it or not, and on telling whites that they are oppressors, whether they know it or not.
If, for votes, Democrats must slander America for its "systemic racism" and cause greater tension and mistrust between Blacks and whites and between cops and Blacks, so be it.
Straight and direct answer? No.
They all did the ‘commission’ for PR value so as to rip down Trump (a potential Trump run in 2024) and Trump voters/potential Trump voters.
Democrat “facts” are fungible.
nope.
They want to lie and make republicans look like antifa and blm.
Oh, please!
Are you kidding, Larry?
Demoncrats Can't Handle 'The Facts'.
Rats don’t want the facts. They want to get something on Prez Trump so he can never hold any public office in the future. He has been living in their heads rent free for many years.
A whitewash, to totally obliterate the very real indiscretions of the miscreants who were carrying out the actual mischief that day. It was not Trump supporters who clambered up over the walls of the Capitol building, or rushed the doors of the entrances, obligingly opened for them by Capitol Police officers. This was a coordinated action by a mob already in place, to make the rush about the time Trump was ending his rally nearly a mile away, and with pre-arrangement with Democrat “leaders” in the House, primarily Nancy Pelosi, who refused to allow the National Guard, stationed across town, to move in quickly and prevent the surge.
A Reichstag Fire “false flag” action. The advance wave of persons with apparently Trump flags and articles of dress supporting the 45th President, were composed almost entirely of Antifa/BLM members and their supporters.
None of these, notably, were ever arrested. But KNOWN Trump supporters, in the following surge, were identified and have been charged with “insurrection” on the basis of nothing at all, except they were there.
Furthering the conspiracy of silence, nobody will reveal the name of the Capitol Police officer who MURDERED Ashli Babbitt.
I agree. And I think they will get a few “witnesses” that will make things up. They do not want people watching the nightly news knowing that it was planned by them. They have become so “we ripped you all off and whether you know it or not we will deny it and do it again”’
Do republicans want the facts? Hell No! 95% of DC republicans are up to their eyeballs in various levels of coup participation.
It would have been a few million, armed, and would have succeeded. There wouldn't have been enough rope or lamposts for those on the left.
It is going to be another Whitewash of Pelosi’s coup on 1/6.
This ridiculous “commission” is being launched for the sole purpose of solidifying the allegation in the public eye that Trump and people who voted for him are criminals and should be treated as such.
Anyone who thinks this will be used for any other purpose is a gullible fool.
“It would have been a few million, armed, and would have succeeded.”
The true MAGA people at that rally are the most well-armed civilians on the planet, yet nobody brought a gun. Obviously there was no violent intent.
Giving them the facts will only feed the beast.
Facts be rayciss!
What the Dims failed to realize, a little too late, was how vulnerable they are to what happens to tyrannical wannabes.
If racism is systemic, the Democrat Party is the system. There is no doubt about this, it is so widely thoroughly documented, that that to push this they had to invent the revisionist fraud of the “1619 Project”. There is no excuse, other than BLM/ANTIFA/Democrat Party are liars. They are guilty. They are racist.
