A New York Times reporter is facing backlash on social media after she posted a string of now-deleted tweets suggesting supporters of former president Donald Trump should be considered 'enemies of the state'.

Katie Benner, the Justice Department reporter at the Times, took to social media Tuesday amid the first hearing of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.

In her tweets, Benner argued that the committee 'underscores' what she said are 'legitimate national security threats' and cast doubt that the committee, which was appointed by Nancy Pelosi, would find a solution.

What about the BLM and Antifa terrorists who tried to storm the White House fence and assaulted secret service last summer?

Yes, except for the "Trump supporters" part.

BLM and antiFA are domestic terrorists, and enemies of We The People.

Wish that were the case. I’m trying to find the name of the FReeper who was sounding the warning bell before January 6. She took a lot of abuse. She needs to be thanked for what she posted.

Then you had other FReepers who were saying that people had every right to enter the “People’s House”.

So you had people enter the Capital who are now resting their hopes on the defense of “The police officers held open the door for me!” If that’s the defense, you have problems.

That title would apply to about 500 political hacks and their staffs in the US Congress and a large percentage of those in alphabet agencies in governments all over the country.

Find a “solution”? The usually doesn’t end well.

The real enemies of the state are mainstream media, lying marxist democRAT politicians. The true patriots are those that demonstrated on 1/6, protesting a fraudulent election and the coup against former POTUS.
