Biden calls Jan. 6 riot an attempted 'coup'
The hill ^ | 01/11/2021 | Morgan Chalfont

President Biden on Tuesday described the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters as an attempted “coup.”

“The violent mob of January 6, 2021, empowered and encouraged by a defeated former president, sought to win through violence what he had lost at the ballot box,” Biden said during a speech in Atlanta pushing for the passage of voting rights legislation. “To impose the will of the mob, to overturn free and fair election, and for the first time, the first time in American history, to stop the peaceful transfer of power. They failed, they failed, but democracy’s victory was not certain nor is democracy’s future.”

IF “Jan, 6” was an attempted coup, then November of 2020 was a successful coup.

But here’s the deal - IF the Jan 6 folks really wanted to cause harm or actually carry out a “coup” - they had the numbers to do exponentially more. But that wasn’t what it was about. Biden knows this - but he is nothing but a liar.

A coup is not launched by unarmed people.

Trump was NOT defeated. The Left staged its own coup via a stolen election. We will never forgive or forget Biden and his fellow scoundrels stealing the 2020 presidential election !

We are going to kick the corrupt Biden and his criminal accomplices out of power !

They are going to be gone !

"...attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters..."

Demented communist POS...

Of course, The Hill.com is a standard communist propaganda rag and gives great credence to this fool's ramblings...

Going with the theory that everything Democrats say is pure projection of their own deviousness... the answer I come up with is we’re in trouble if we as a country don’t start making massive, sensible reforms from top to bottom very soon.

A slight aside, but I heard a clip from that new NYC prosecutor saying that people who have committed multiple felonies aren’t getting the help they need and that is why they continue to commit crimes... my answer is - we have plenty of programs to help people, and plenty of charities and charitable and helpful people. How is the District Attorney supposed to fix the fact that these programs are failures? By letting criminals go free? We’re completely screwed if we don’t start serious reforms. I am all for helping people in need if that is what the cities and states taxpayers want to spend money on. But for Pete’s sake use them right. They seem to just be perpetual motion machines or paper mills or just jobs programs. If they aren’t capable of helping people other than themselves what good are they? The D.A. can’t fix that.

Biden should be impeached, convicted, and imprisoned for his role in the coup planning/meeting that took place in the oval office 1/7/17.

Obama, Biden, Brennan, Comey, Rice, Samantha Powers, and Sally Yates: GUILTY.

Joe Biden is a criminal, a sociopathic liar, and has always been such.

How I detest this evil, malicious, and stupid person.

The only coup was by a leftist junta on November 3rd 2021.

Never forget the Republicans were half the problem.

They really are projecting to new heights.

All in the name of getting their voting fraud bill passed.

FoxNews certainly has been hyping this bill to the nth degree for ratings. They keep giving progress reports on the push. Who cares about the push? The real thing I would like to see reported is what is the current stance of Manchin and Sienema on ending the filibuster? If unchanged, then who cares what the dems are pushing, it is going nowhere. If changed or changing, I sure would like to hear that reported as well.

Kamala Harris and the Dem hit squads have spent the last 30 years attacking the United States as racist, oppressive, homophobic, etc.......decrying it’s creation by “evil religious white men” solely to oppress anyone who was unwhite.

But on Jan 6, she, and the Party of Never Miss a Political Opportunity, suddenly “saw the light.”

The knee-jerkers crassly played the “give a damn card.”

Harris: “What the extremists who roamed these halls sought to degrade and destroy was not only a building, hallowed as it is,......they were assaulting the institutions, the values, the ideals that generations of Americans have shed blood to establish and defend.”

Too bad they don’t govern as if they believed all that.

Amazing how those protesting against DJT Jan 2017 never went to Jail. It was an Insurrection dn a coup but nothing was done. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/28/protests-take-center-stage-during-donald-trumps-first-100-days.html

It can be a coup. It can be an insurrection. It cannot be both. A coup is instigated and controlled by people in and close to the govt. An insurrection is instigated by the people against the govt. Of course 800+ unarmed protestors running through or walking around the Capitol is neither coup or insurrection.
