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. ”

What did Pelosi do?
He nearly exposed their stolen election.
“Our Democracy”
Liberals don’t mean what people think they mean when they say this.
They mean “my” not “yours”.
“Our Democracy” = the elites rule and you serfs just shut the eff up.
Hey, you feckless liberal, having an election stolen would sure imply loss of democracy.
sigh - ok class, lets go over this again.
American has never been, and is not now, a Democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic and that is a significant difference.
PoS
We really have criminal leadership in the US at this time.
Surprise! He is a dark skinned racist.
Drama queen…l
.....we came “perilously close to losing our democracy.”......
We LOST our democracy when the traitorous oligarchs and Dims stole the 2020 election!!!!
All the horrible events of 2021 under the biden politburo are the result of the stolen election!!!!
PHOOEY in the maximum!!!!
I would think attempting to remove a sitting President based on lies from the opposition party would be more of a threat to our Republic.
Stealing elections since 1960….the dimocrap way….
The THIRD impeachment of Trump
Well Bennie, according to the alleged VP Harris, it would have been a good thing.
During the interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” host Margaret Brennan asked her (Harris) about the one national security threat that keeps her up at night worrying.
“Frankly, one of them is our democracy."
At the time airhead Harris said that I stated we would never hear another word about her major freudian slip.
And here we are.
.
What a dumba**. The US is a constitutional republic,not a democracy.
Same old bull shit from the RATS , as they are the ones destroying democracy.
Hey moron, we were never a democracy! We are a Federal Republic. My 12 year old knows that!!
He apparently thinks we are all as stupid as he.
