Karl Rove: Republicans’ Jan. 6 Responsibility
WSJ ^ | Jan 6 | Karl Rove

Posted on 01/06/2022 11:40:22 AM PST by RandFan

The GOP has a duty to condemn the riot and those who refuse to acknowledge it.

We’re in an acrimonious period of partisan tribalism and have been for some time. Both parties are guilty of overwrought denunciations of their political opponents. My criticisms are often aimed at Democrats; on the anniversary of Jan. 6, I’m addressing squarely those Republicans who for a year have excused the actions of the rioters who stormed the Capitol, disrupted Congress as it received the Electoral College’s results, and violently attempted to overturn the election.

These apologists say those who stormed the Capitol were innocent patriots, tourists visiting the seat of the national government to petition their elected representatives peacefully. We’re told that these harmless, ordinary Americans are being persecuted as political prisoners.

Let’s stipulate that while the thousands who went to the Capitol a year ago were wrong to insist the election was stolen, most weren’t violent as they exercised their First Amendment rights to gather peacefully on the Mall—just as I had seen liberals gather to protest both inaugurations of President George W. Bush.

But last year there were several thousand protesters willing to use force to disrupt Congress in its constitutional duty to receive and certify the electoral vote. Some went to Washington with that purpose in mind. Others were swept up in the moment’s savagery, led astray by stronger wills with dangerous motives.

We are on a collision course with destiny. The forces of good and light are running smack dab into the forces of darkness an luciferian elites. Who wins? Well I think we do.
So think of it this way: when Karl Rove whines in the wilderness like he does with this article, does anybody hear him now or give a tinkers darn? My guess is a whole lot less do than did before the election of Donald J Trump.
With that being said! Have a blessed day. The Best is Yet to Come!

I accept that what little happened on January 6, 2021 was planned, lead, and instigated by Fed operatives as part of the coup to oust the lawful President Trump.

That coup began with a massive, in your face, obvious election theft. Election theft has a long history in the Communist-Rat party and with technology advantages was scaled up and coordinated. It became obvious because the President was winning in a near landslide causing the election theft steps to be increased so high that they became visible to anyone willing to look. The January 6 activity was the coup’s final step to ensure the stolen election was not reversed.

He is an integral part of the problem.

Integral. Without him, and people like him, the Left would have no cover.

Scum like him give him give the treasonous Left the cover of “bipartisanship”.

Which means he is treasonous too.

That’s exactly right, the Bush Leaguers want their party back so they can go back to assisting the Democrats destroying the country.
