A former chief strategist for President George W. Bush believes the riot at the Capitol building on Jan. 6 was worse than the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
Matthew Dowd -- interviewed by MSNBC's Joy Reid on Tuesday, which marked six months since the event -- charged the a lack of accountability for those who fomented the Capitol riot has given permission to Republicans to perpetuate the "big lie" that President Trump won the 2020 election.

"To me, although there was less loss of life on January 6, January 6 was worse than 9/11 because it's continued to rip our country apart and give permission for people to pursue autocratic means," he said.
"So I think we're in a much worse place than we have been. I think we're in the most perilous point in time since 1861 in the advent of the Civil War," Dowd continued.

Wow. We hear a lot of stupid comments these days with the weird installed government in Washington, but this is one of the stupidest comments I’ve heard in a long time.
This is why “experts” are joke. Are they still not understanding that actual republicans do not view January 6th in negative light, just the contrary.
Look at how quickly these clowns in the GOP who pushed for impeachments and the 1/6 “commission” will be bounced.
Can these folks actually be this tone deaf?
What happens as more and more fraud is exposed? Trump loses even more ground (eyeroll)
How many knives in the back does it take for the GOP faithful to realize they are being conned?
Matthew Dowd...isn’t he Maria Shriver’s boyfriend? Ughhh!!!!
The Bushes were a misstep.
From the Deep State, NWO elites.
A great many voters have been switching their party registration from Republican to Independent (or Unenrolled).
**********
What does the GOP stand for other than fooling its base into voting for them?
One word to the never Trumpers…..Bologna
Matthew Dowd is as Republican as Jennifer Rubin.
Tells you all you need to know...the haters line up to be on her show. Eff 'em.
Simply showing just how “un racis’” dey is.
I agree in full; Bush 2 hired this Mr. Magoo along with other staffers, like the RNC Chair, Michael Steele, who might just as well have been Democrats as they shill constantly for them. Actually, this period reminds me of the 1848-1860 period right after one of the most successful one-term Presidents, James K. Polk followed by a succession of losers. Only the modern period of mediocrity has been longer, 40+ years broken up by the 12 of Reagan and Trump.
Have a person good a sign and chant slogans at him.
Then cover him in jet fuel and light it up.
Ask him which is worse.
“The Communists in America are much more emboldened than they were in 1954.”
And we don’t appear to have a Tail Gunner Joe or a HUAC at this point.
Seriously. This is how frightened they are of average Americans pursuing freedom? How frightened they are of average Americans rejecting elite, one rule government. How frightened they are of average Americans thinking for themselves and doing something about it. How frightened they are that they cannot control average Americans through a bought and paid for media complex. And that bozo probably thinks he scored points by doing that interview!
In fact they are so frightened, that they had to RIG this to look like out of control average Americans and KILL AN UN ARMED WOMAN!
THESE PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK. This is the world in which we are forced to live. God help us.
I posted an independent lengthy reply before reading the comments on this thread. I left the Republican Party directly after the Nov 3rd Election because they don’t give a damn about you or me; its the uniparty they care about. Their one rule government. If and I mean if, President Trump can rid the party of its many, many RINOS, then perhaps it can be salvaged. Then and ONLY then would I CONSIDER (stress this word) returning.
I don’t understand what happened to Dick Cheney?
Dowd’s sexist comment toward Elise Stefanik makes him worse than Hitler.
If this decline continues at the rate it is traveling, I cannot see the country surviving.
