Over the past 13 years, from Obama to Trump and continuing through the Biden years, it has become increasingly challenging to discern truth from propaganda touted by our media and the political ruling class. January 6th 2021 was a horrible day in our history. A tragic, heart-breaking, insane, historically-paradigm shifting day for all of us. I'd never belittle the events of the attack on the Capitol. It felt surreal. The man in the Viking horns is bizarrely from my hometown. It is a deeply shameful moment in our history. BUT. At the same time, January 6th is not 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. It is not a day that was an act of war. It was not a terrorist attack that resulted in the deaths of thousands of Americans. I was absolutely disgusted that V.P. Harris would make such an intellectually dishonest comparison to our nation’s history. 4 people died on January 6th. But only 1 of those was caused by an act of violence being shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer. All of those losses are tragic. But to put this in proper perspective, nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks on 9/11. The attack on Pearl Harbor killed 2,403 U.S. personnel and destroyed 19 US. Navy ships leading to the dropping of 2 nuclear bombs on Japan. 9/11 led to America's longest war in Afghanistan, a 20-year conflict for which we are still seeing an average of 20 veterans a day commit suicide. January 6th is NOT the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It is NOT 9/11. It is disrespectful to all our veterans, alive and dead, to say so. There is no comparison between the wars that brave Americans have fought and died in to the riotous attack on the Capitol. It’s not just wrong. It’s stupid.

A) It wasn’t a riot.
B) It wasn’t shameful, except for the actions of the police.
BINGO!
Where was this article a year ago? his article is about the midterms and Trump isn’t on the ballot. The GOP is worried some of this stink will depress GOP turnout and/or get out the Dem vote. She would be singing a different tune if Trump was on the ballot.
She is still a Bush League Republican, just like her dad.
This comment suggests that we had a legitimate election on 11/3/20. We didn't. Trump won.
If you can read and own a dictionary... it's not even ‘shameful’.
Why not talk about the language you'd use to describe Portland riots and etc.? Now, THAT'S worse than anyone's idea of ‘shameful’.
Miss Piggy has spoken.
Maybe this only stops when we all refer to this as the “Capital Holocaust”; it will highlight the absurdity of their fabrications.
This is fine. We need to punch back at the leftie narrative.
If the Trump supporters the 100,000 people outside would have riled they would have leveled the area. We are a Republic not a democracy. The deep state is using democracy to put radicals in offices form the for a hostile take over of America.
They know it too, they just lie about it.
I don’t think it was “shameful.” I think it was exhilarating. It was like the Boston Tea Party or the tarring and feathering of tax collectors or the Bonus March or the Civil Rights marches.
Was there violence? Yes. These things often get somewhat out of hand, but as of now, it is totally unclear if this was provoked by the FBI or not.
The bigger issue is that American citizens temporarily reminded the squidpickle elites who was in charge-—if only temporarily-—and those minutes showed craven, cowardly little children running for their lives from a Viking and a bearded lady. And it was caught in pictures and will NEVER go away.
THIS is the biggest reason they obsess over that day, because it exposed them like no editorial or Tucker Carlson show ever could. And that’s why I cheer Patriot Day.
Someone did do that on SpewMore’s desk.
Yep. Misses the point entirely that this was an uprising OF the people against tyranny.
Well, we kinda know Meghan’s mental stability…
Nancy tearing up President Trump’s State of the Union was an Insurrection. Jan 6th was a protest with a bit of violence...no fires...no weapons...
Correct. I called this America’s Doolittle Raid. It provoked a reaction that despite media hype, the DemoKKKrats are STILL paying for because they were exposed as cowards AND because they overreacted much like Japan did after Doolittle.
It never would have even happened had the GOP gone hammer and tongs after the Bernie bro campaign volunteer who shot up Congress. Then you have the Puerto Rican terrorist attack that Dems cheered the pardon of, the Senate bomb attack on the GOP cloakroom by a Dem, etc. The GOP gives the Dems get out of jail cards so they have no fear of blow back on 1/6.
Any clips of these lying scum comparing it to 9/11 or Pearl Harbor should be preserved and re-broadcast/shared during every election cycle.
I pretty much stopped at that point in the title of the article. Start out with a lie or serious exaggeration, you have to figure the rest is likely garbage.
