Representative Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump “did nothing” to stop the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol as we came “perilously close to losing our democracy.”
Thompson said, “Let me say that what we have been able to ascertain is that we came perilously close to losing our democracy as we come to learn it. Had those insurrectionists been successful, we are not certain what we would have had, had it not been for the brave men and women who protected the Capitol in spite of being woefully outnumbered. We were in a difficult situation. We know former President Trump invited people to come to Washington on January 6, that he said it was going to be wild. We know that the speeches weaponized a lot of people by telling them that people at the Capitol were trying to steal the election from them and they should go and be heard. So we are now in the process of interviewing witnesses, collecting thousands of pages of documents to say who actually occurred. ”

Thompson has his knee on the neck of our system.
How could the Stop the Steal protest threaten “democracy” when its worst trangression was trespassing?
We lost our Constitutional Republic the day ALL of our elected AND appointed swore in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia.
It’s the bow on top of a 1984-style gift given to us care of Democrats, NeverTrumpers, and Deep Staters/globalists. Trump is doing penance for their sins
So the PR campaign is in full swing to ban Trump from running again and change voting laws to “protect Democracy”
Massive election fraud = democracy
Yep, and the sooner they lose “their democracy”, the better we’ll all be.
No - it was the day Pelosi kneeled to BLM and swore an oath of fealty to communists in the capital building.
The DNC is a treasonous party to the USA.
Communist buzzword: "Our Democracy"
In an eccentric way, I see her point. Trump should have LED the demonstration to the capitol. A sitting president protesting against vote fraud woulda been a very powerful statement. Instead he chose to sit on a couch & watch it on TV a few blocks away.
Voter fraud jeopardizes democracy. They’re desperate to deflect attention from their attempts to destroy democracy.
Bwahahahahahhahaha. This clown does not have a clue and is dangerous to our society.
The Constitution says natural born citizen.
Obama is not one.
Nancy falsely certified that he was, but curiously only to Hawaii.
Swearing him in abrogated the Constitution.
For commies “Losing Democracy” means LOSING POWER..which is something the commies cant handle
yep... I was so scared when I saw the guy in the horned biking hat taking selfies, I feared for our democracy!
But was so proud to be an American when the Texas Dems fled the state to try to prevent legislation being passed, and also when the cities were burning all summer. I haven’t been so proud to be an American since the liberals “occupied” the Wisconsin state capital for WEEKS in 2012 to stop the democratic process of passing legislation there!
/S
The USA as originally founded is DEAD. We are now governed by idiots, fools, liars, cheaters, thieves and sexually perverted knuckleheads like this ass-clown Thompson.
“Had those insurrectionists been successful...”
Notice, being successful is not defined. Taking control of the building? Setting up a new government right there on the spot? Taking control of the entire military without an army or guns? Forcing the entire Congress to surrender? To whom?
We lost our democracy on November 4, 2020 at ~3 AM when the election was fraudulently stolen.
Sounds like the “one-sixers” are on a roll today.
