The Left’s Bare Faced Hypocrisy
NY Post ^ | 1/14/21 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 01/14/2021 7:58:05 AM PST by livius

What a difference a week makes. On Wednesday, we discovered that House Democrats actually support police. They are against mob violence. They believe in law and order. They believe in harsh punishment for rule breakers. They believe in accountability.

They care deeply about civility. They believe words matter. They abhor intemperate rhetoric. They are against coarse language. Fancy that.

They believe in a peaceful transition of power, at least this time, as opposed to 2016. They believe in the Electoral College. They believe in the legitimacy of the people’s vote.

They believe in walls, at least when it comes to protecting their own place of work. They even believe in bringing in the National Guard to quell civil unrest, at least when it comes to preserving their own peace.

They believe in guns, at least when their own safety is at risk.

They revere American history and institutional norms. They honor the Founding Fathers. Hah!

This is what we learned while watching the Democrats in the House impeach President Trump for the second pointless time in 13 months.

We learned that they, almost to a man and a woman, suffer from an acute case of hypocrite-itis....

This is an editorial with a detailed catalogue of Dem insanity, ending in the original article with a photo of Nancy “reviewing the troops,” since she clearly thinks she’s President now (which she has always wanted).

Btw, the Dems asking for civility actually changed the rules of the House for these two impeachment measures so that the members could say anything they wanted, call Trump a racist, make any outlandish claim they want, and use language normally not permitted in the House. But it expires in two weeks so that the GOP can’t take advantage of it to attack Biden/Harris in any unseemly way. Talk about hypocrisy.

Who riots doesn’t matter, it’s who reports the riots that matters.

I’ve heard something along these lines before, somewhere, think, think, think...

Until they call out President Carter, President Clinton, and Barack Obama for pardoning terrorists, they have no ground on which to stand.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Collazo
Oscar Collazo (January 20, 1914 – February 21, 1994) was one of two Puerto Rican militants of the Nationalist Party who on November 1, 1950, attempted to assassinate U.S. President Harry S. Truman in Washington, DC. He had been living in New York City after growing up in Puerto Rico.

Collazo was convicted and sentenced to death, but Truman commuted his sentence to life imprisonment. In 1979 Collazo’s sentence was commuted to time served by President Jimmy Carter. He was paroled and allowed to return to Puerto Rico.

On October 30, 1950, Torresola and Collazo learned that the Jayuya Uprising in Puerto Rico, led by the nationalist leader Blanca Canales, had failed. Torresola’s sister had been wounded and his brother Elio was arrested. Believing they had to do something for their cause, Collazo and Torresola decided to assassinate President Harry S. Truman, in order to bring world attention to the need for independence in Puerto Rico.[1][3]

President Obama’s Pardon for Oscar Lopez Rivera Trades a Terrorist for VotesJan 22nd, 2017

* In 1979, Jimmy Carter released from prison three Puerto Rican terrorists who shot at members of Congress.

* In 1999 Bill Clinton pardoned 12 members of the FALN.

* Obama’s one-time friend Bill Ayers, himself a terrorist in the 1970s, tweeted out a celebratory “Oscar Lopez freed!”

I am infuriated that the democrats would try to crush our president’s reputation. The most pro-American president in my lifetime. How petty. Vindictive. Evil.

Comrade Pelosi is doing what she has to do, like the scorpion who got a ride on the frog’s back across the river. The frog asked the scorpion “Why did you sting me when I gave you a ride?” Reply: “Because I am a scorpion, and that is what scorpions do.”

Add to that the fact that she’s stark raving mad and driven by hatred and jealousy of Trump that is pathological.

Steve Bannon just played news clips showing the Antifa riot on inauguration day 2016.

Thanks to the Left, Impeachment no longer carries the gravity it did. They’re still butthurt over the impeachment of Slick Willie, and ache to be able to inflict the same level of punishment on the Republicans. So they’ve launched impeachment against every Republican president since over anything they can come up with.

It has become just another political attack tool, rather than a rare and powerful means of removing truly criminal presidents.

His refrain since November about having won in a “landslide” was reckless and deluded

Not so much. Correctly counted Trump would've won the Electoral College 311 to 227.

It’s a news channel, also carried on pluto.tv channel 240

War Room is live twice a day. The first show is from 7-9 AM, the second show is 2-3 PM. Monday through Saturday.

I think it’s also on pandemic.warroom.org

Exactly. I remember when they wanted to impeach Nixon, it was all OMIGOD!! Now impeachment is being thrown around every time a Republican president breaks wind.

Yes, it would have been a landslide. Other than that routine criticism of Trump, I thought it was a good article.
