Maryland's GOP governor slams 'whitewashing' of Jan. 6 riot
The Hill ^ | 07/23/2021 | Jordan Williams

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) slammed some in the Republican Party for “whitewashing” the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

In an interview on “The Takeout Podcast,” CBS News’s Major Garrett asked the governor to weigh in on efforts within the GOP to “sanitize” the attack, which led to multiple deaths and hundreds of arrests.

“We have to get to the bottom of exactly what happened there, and there's no whitewashing,” Hogan said.

As long as the role of the FBI in it is revealed, I’m fine “getting to the bottom of it”.

I think most of the GOP is scared of Trump supporters (scared of the monster they helped create and enable) and were honestly shocked in a naive sort of way by 1/6 especially the ones there. But then they want those votes and all that crazy enthusiasm and certainly don’t want to be Liz Cheney Romney or Pence, so it’s a dangerous fence they ride

“What does this fool has to say about the massive BLM/ANTIFA riots, looting, arson, murders that took place last year?”

Nothing.

Democrats and anti Trump Republicans didn’t care about 150 straight days of protests, vandalism, riots & murder in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis etc.

These acts were perpetrated by a combination of urban “street scum” and political provocateurs.(most likely FBI)

“Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.”

Assistant Democrats are just as much the enemy as Democrats.

And RHINO Hogan is whitewashing the fraud that went on during the 2020 election. With idiots like this in the party, is it any wonder the party is worthless to its base. The more of people like Hogan that I see, the less I think Trump is correct in staying and fighting within the party.

which led to multiple deaths

One death, and it was Ashli Babbit. But hey, who cares about the truth, really?

Well it sounds like a purposely racist comment to suggest that those who attended the rally in DC that day were all racists. Disgusting.

How many people who walked on the grounds of the Capitol but did not even go inside knew that they were breaking the law? Congress has certainly written the law concerning being in the building or even on the grounds in a very expansive way.

After months of watching the burning,looting and violence across the nation after which the few people detained were released without bond, often without even charges, the useful idiots who walked through the Capitol between the velvet ropes must have been shocked when they were tracked down and arrested.

There are definitely two systems of justice in the USA.

Larry, the police let them in the building and they took a tour doing whatever they wanted. What is being whitewashed?

Inconvenient fact, Larry: why does FedGov refuse to indict the thugs who actually committed the violence?

Instead, they all remain “un-indicted co-conspirators”, which means the Gov’t is admitting they did it

That failure to prosecute - while freely going after any and all Trump supporters - is why it looks like the thugs were actually working for the Gov’t, Larry

That’s why this whole mess still smells

I know, the outright lies they tell, and Trump did no such thing, in fact in his speech he said to “march peacefully, always peacefully” towards the end of his speech. All one who wants to know the truth has to do is go watch President Trump’s speech from Jan 6th. These RINO a__holes just make crap up and lie, just like their friends on the demonrat side.

Larry Hogan comes from a background of low-rent people. His father was a congressthing from Md, the first to call for Nixon’s impeachment, and the only Republican to vote for impeachment on all three counts. So his fat son gets it legitimately - you can do quite well and stick out from the minority party if you publicly turn your back on the base and its leadership; you will get all sorts of accolades and cheap trinkets as rewards in cheap trinkets from the Establishment.

The “Hill” is actually The Dungheap. Bastion of never-Trumpers and libtard cretins. Have you read any of their comments? They have drunk the lamestream media lies Kool-Aid lock, stock, and barrel. They spew their cut and pasted ignorance with every comment. What a cesspool!

“We have to get to the bottom of exactly what happened there, and there's no whitewashing,” Hogan said.

Why is Hogan so obsessed with a six hour disturbance?

What was the role of the Democrats in setting it up? Why did Nancy Pelosi tell the Capital Police to stand down? Who gave the order to open the doors? Why are the Democrats protecting the killer of Ashli Babbit, the only person killed during the disturbance? Did FBI agents participate and try to incite the participants?

Why would a single Republican be obsessed with a six hour disturbance? Does Hogan hate Trump so much that it overshadows any common sense and discernment?

The "disturbance" on January 6, 2021, took place over a period of six hours, after a peaceful rally by President Donald J. Trump. The disturbance started around 4 pm; it was pretty much over by 10 pm.

What is desperately missing is the creation of a Commission to get the truth about Antifa and BLM, and their contributions to the disturbance.
