Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman’s campaign on Monday called for Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz to fire two campaign staffers who were at the rally that preceded the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

“Dr. Oz and his disgustingly radical campaign must fire these insurrectionist staffers immediately,” Fetterman campaign spokesman Joe Calvello said in a statement. “These people are a direct threat to our American democracy, and they embody Republican extremism at it worst.”

A report by Rolling Stone revealed that two of Oz’s staffers, Northampton County campaign coordinator Lee Snover and paid political adviser Josh Bashline of Clarion County, were at the Jan. 6 rally to try and keep former President Donald Trump in office even though he lost to President Joe Biden.

Asked by PennLive if the Oz campaign had a response to the Rolling Stone report, Oz campaign spokesperson Brittany Yanick replied, “Too stupid to respond to.”

Most people have no idea that they were at least 200,000 people at the ellipse to hear President Trump speak. Most probably went to DC thinking that it might be the last time that they would get to hear Trump speak at a rally.

The people who breached the Capitol did not seem to be MAGA Trump supporters. The answer to the question “who benefits” is certainly not Trump.

Those who just walked through open doors taking selfies and pictures of the Capitol Rotunda were Trump supporters. I don’t think that many actual MAGA supporters planned to enter the Capitol. They just got caught up in the energy and enthusiasm of the day.

I’ve been to several March for Life events. There were hundreds of thousands of people at the speeches down by the ellipse, most of whom march to the Supreme Court building but no one even considered going inside.

“Oz should fire staffers who attended Jan. 6 rally, Fetterman campaign says following report”

I assume that means Fetterman will fire any staffer who went to a Biden rally (if there were any, that is).

[CatOwner]

J6 will be the "reason" why the DEMs hold steal the House and the Senate.

[Verginius Rufus]

I was nowhere near DC on Jan. 6, 2021, but what I have heard of the events matches your description.

It used to be that the right of the people peacefully to assemble was considered part of the Bill of Rights. Obviously that is a dead letter now. If a Democrat accuses you of "insurrection" you have no civil or political rights.

[Burma Jones]

Too bad they attended a rally. If only they were first-degree murderers, Fetterman wouldn’t think they should face any consequences

[TECTopcat]

Free speech is only for lefties, but Fetterman ought to fire everyone of his staff who supported the black lives matter riots-oh wait that is his entire stff and himself

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Oh, goody. Dumb-O-Crats telling Republicans what to do again.

[HereInTheHeartland]

So did the other guy have staff out burning and looting in 2020?

[FlipWilson]

OMG!!!

Aaaaaaaaand still, nobody gives a truck about January 6th.

No

Body.

[Vendome]

Joe Calvello said in a statement. “These people are a direct threat to our American democracy, ...”

Well, you can shove your American Democracy up your.....

[NoLibZone]

The J6 protestors are American heroes. We should name streets, parks, hospitals and schools after them.

[Songcraft]

"And I want you to fire everybody who was alive on January 6!",
muttered fracker-yes, I mean fracker-no, I mean fracker-yes.

[patriot torch]

Fetterman should fire the physician that declared him competant.

[Organic Panic]

Worse than a million 9-11s.

[Songcraft]

"Fetterman should fire the physician that declared him competant."

He really should.

Such obvious malpractice cries out for a second opinion!

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

The Trump supporters who were outside the Capitol were peacefuolly and orderly ushered into the Capitol by policemen who opened the doors and motioned with their arm and hands for people to come in in an orderly line. I saw this clearly as I watched the proceedings online on Jan. 6, 2021. These were ordinary people, some with their children. They likely had now idea they’d be motioned to go inside. These were in no way lawbreakers. These were patriotic, peacefully citizens who came to peacfully show their support for president Trump. The relied on our rignt to peaceful assembly and freedom of speech.

[healy61]

That knock-kneed lump didn’t think of this on his own.

[sport]

He doesn’t think. Period. On his own. But millions will vote for him.

[zeestephen]

Were they at the Trump speech, or at the Capitol, or both?

Since hundreds of FBI agents have investigated the Capitol demonstration, and since neither of those two persons were arrested, looks to me like they are completely in the clear.
