On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “After the Bell,” Rep. French Hill (R-AR) said President Donald Trump “has to bear some responsibility” for the riots at the Capitol and that his “tweets and his one-minute video were late and inadequate.”

But I think you’re mistaken it was Trump supporters who stormed the Capital. And of course that doesn’t matter because the media will play it always against us anyway.

The Republican party is a Rino party as we have clearly seen today....they certainly aren’t the Peoples Party. This was an opportunity to stand together and they refused to do so knowing full well the Demorats would stand together like glue.

Miserable and pathetic cowards.....they will never again get My vote.

It’s the Republican Wing of the Uniparty.

nonsense. the speech didn’t incite anything. in fact, i remember the President asked people to walk over to the capital peacefully.

It’s a script for a 1-star poorly acted ‘drama’.

While the people who stole the election, who have organized violence opposing the President, framed him for crimes that never happened, for his entire Presidency are above accountability.

As the Mayors of Portland and Seattle would say, “They were mostly peaceful protests.” People are allowed to exercise their Constitutional rights of protest and assembly.

Oh, I forgot, those rules only apply to Democrats, BLM and ANTIFA, not Republicans, Conservatives, etc.

Oh, and lest we forget;

“......House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer on Tuesday slammed Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert’s recent statement critical of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, also saying he doesn't “accept” the premise those groups are violent.

Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, said Gohmert “seemed to be encouraging people to come to Washington and take up violence, if that were called for, in order to express their belief that this was not an honest, fair election.”

Referencing a judge's decision to deny Vice President Mike Pence the ability to overturn election results, Gohmert said, “If bottom line is, the court is saying, ‘We're not going to touch this. You have no remedy.’ Basically, in effect, the ruling would be that you've got to go the streets and be as violent as Antifa and BLM.”

Gohmert walked back the comments over the weekend....”

I don’t believe that they are part of the so called Uniparty.......which is a fabrication used to let them off the hook which I won’t do.

I think antifa played a role. Whoever did it, freepers were wrong to be cheering. It was not a good look for the MAGA movement, and the backlash could be just beginning. It also took the wind out of the efforts in congress to argue against the steal.

At the time, be fair, there was a lot of “Fog of War”.

I hope the freepers who thought this “storming of the capitol” was a good idea - and who flamed me for suggesting otherwise - have had time and opportunity to reconsider. A woman is dead, and the MAGA movement is greivously damaged - and the Left has major propaganda victory that they’re using to try to oust Trump. They have a number of GOP fellow-travelers already on their train.

Today was a BAD DAY for the MAGA movement - and the wound was self inflicted by stupid people who invaded the capitol.

I agree with your analysis...
It was not a good day for people who are opposed to liberal agenda...

Committing vandalism is not going to gain more support for the conservative cause.

A woman was murdered today for trying to climb through a window. Not for burning a car lot full of cars, not for burning a building, not for throwing Molotov Cocktails at police, for trying to climb through a window. And your response is that it’ll look bad in the same media that edits and alters what happens anyway?

Change your handle, Rintintin wasn’t a lapdog.

Do you honestly think they would have done that......I don’t. This was the time and the place to fight....and they failed period!

I’m well beyond disgusted with them and the entire election system. I’d change Party to Independent but I’d lose the right to vote in the Primaries here unless they change it.
