Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” described the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill “like the Super Bowl of domestic terrorism.”
Discussing a newly released U.S. Senate bipartisan report on January 6, Klobuchar said, “We have outlined what is common knowledge in our report about President Trump’s speech, about encouraging them to march down from the mall and the like. One reason I believe we need a 9/11 type commission and investigation is we felt our jurisdiction and goal was clear. We wanted to get immediate recommendations to help with funding, to help with getting bills passed, and make changes in the police department and the like. But the whole side of it about the rise of white supremacy and what needs to be done. I believe this report is not a substitute for that, but something we needed to do immediately.”

Not even close. Compared to what you Marxist did last year and continue to do this was piker stuff.
These people are getting absolutely frantic.
Comically so.
49 dead in Orlando by the hand of an ISIS acolyte means nothing I guess.
Delusional.
“Klobuchar is a bowl of crap.”
That is so insulting to bowls of crap everywhere!
Hyperbole, thy name is dhimmicrap...
Superbowl’s have more violence than the 1/6 trespassing event.
I think the most stunning thing about this article is that Andrea Mitchell has a show.
She has increased the hyperbole to absolutely galactic proportions.
Largely lost from public memory now, the push for nationhood for Puerto Rico and anger at U.S. colonialism spurred attacks on the island and in New York City, all the way up to the Fraunces Tavern bombing in 1975, which killed four people. There was even an assassination plot that targeted then president Harry Truman in 1950.
In 1952, a significant majority of Puerto Ricans voted for commonwealth status but some nationalists were unmoved, calling it a mere façade.
Nationalists Lolita Lebrón, Irvin Flores Rodríguez, Rafael Cancel Miranda and Andres Figueroa Cordero, carried out their attack in D.C., on March 1, 1954, from the gallery of the House of Representatives, where members were debating a bill concerning migrant Mexican workers.

Cancel Miranda, the last surviving member of the group, died at his residence in San Juan, Puerto Rico on March 2, 2020.
Five congressmen — Republicans Alvin Bentley and Ben Jensen, and Democrats Clifford Davis, George Hyde Fallon and Kenneth Roberts — were injured by gunfire. Bentley was the most seriously injured and required numerous surgeries, but he returned to work seven weeks later.
At a subsequent trial, Lebrón received a 50-year sentence, while the men received 75 years in prison for attempted murder and other charges.
President Jimmy Carter commuted all four sentences during his presidential term in the late 1970s. According to the administration, the action was intended as both a "humanitarian gesture to the international community" and to pave the way for the release of four Americans being detained in Cuba.
Cancel Miranda, the last surviving member of the group, died in March 2020. He continued to campaign for the independence of Puerto Rico and participated in marches and demonstrations after his release. In 2016, he told a New York Times reporter, "62 years later I'm not sorry."
Bullet holes from the attack are still present in the chamber to this day.
The super bowl of hyperbole.
Always accuse your enemies of that which you yourself are guilty of.
Apparently there are different kinds of terrorism according to Ms Klobuchar....
There’s the kill, blow stuff up, take hostages, etc kind and then there’s the kind without weapons whatsoever but a innocent terrorist gets killed kind...
What a Buffoon.....
Overplaying their hand.
Old Horse-face nattering on again.
Excellent, excellent point.
And let us not forget the August 1999, the commutation by Bill Clinton of the sentences of 16 members of FALN, a Puerto Rican paramilitary organization that set off 120 bombs in the United States, mostly in New York City and Chicago.
Done to butter up the Puerto Rican vote in NY for Hillary.
