When Ashli Babbitt breached a final window in the Capitol building, it was the closest any of the rioters on Jan. 6 would come to reaching then-evacuating members of Congress.
Can not even the Republicans see that in the end they look like hypocrites?
I am never happy to hear someone has died, but when you are attempting to break into the halls of congress with the intent to hang the Veep, and stop the legitimate certification of the election from happening you have to expect some consequences.
But apart from Gosar, the rest of the GOP has met the calls to unmask the officer in question not with opprobrium, but rather with silence. Itâs in that vacuum that Trump demanded on Saturday that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) take up the cause. âWhy are Republican leaders like McConnell afraid to take up the subject and talk about it?â Trump asked, calling it a âdisgrace to our country.â
Because McConnell understands that peering under that rock will not reveal anything favorable for him and his party. Thatâs very much the case of the party taking a shotgun and aiming at their feet (to jump metaphors). Trump is, as per usual, mouthing off on whatever subject is getting him the most press, without any understanding or care as to what the ultimate result would be if his blathering was actually acted upon.
How is their messaging on Rosanne Boyland . Being the insurrectionists basically trampled her, while people were trying provide assistance. Very fine people that is.
Does anyone remember Horst Wessel, the Nazi shot in the head by a Communist and made a complete hero of the Nazi movement. He even had a song dedicated to him. It is only a matter of time until Babbitt has a Republican song dedicated to her courage. I hope she is burning in hell.
Horst Ludwig Georg Erich Wessel now has company. Goebbels and his way of confounding the human intellect have always provided a beacon to Trump. I never thought the fascists would become fashionable again. Live and be disappointed by your fellow humans.
