Not only are House Oversight Republicans refusing to blame former President Donald Trump for his actions that led to the January 6 attack, but they are actually trying to paint Trump and his mob as the real victims.
I just asked in another thread if the unification McCarthy was looking for is the minimization of the insurrection. Apparently their ambitions are much loftier. They want to totally re-write recent history right in front of our eyes.
I’m sorry…Gosar is a twitchy Qanon spouting idiot and Jodie Hice is a racist, bigoted piece of garbage. They are stumbling over their tongues to blame ANYONE and stand against their country for Trump who doesn’t give a single sht that they exist.
Right wing media has not shown the close ups that places like TPM have, where the violence that occurred is clearly evident. They ignore the entire thing, or only show the bits that look like a “friendly gathering” where insurrectionists are singing the national anthem or whatever. And, they also say that the police just let them in, since the Capitol is public property. All of this is meant to make it seem like the insurrection was just a peaceful protest…maybe a few people got rowdy, but “that was much worse in the summer with BLM riots burning shops!”
It really is an alternate reality, created by right wing media and pushes by Republican leadership. They are desperately claiming nothing happened that day, and trying to erase it…they want the average American to see the two things as equivalent so they win in 2022.
Every enemy of the nation should have such chutzpah-not!
King George was the victim!
Jefferson Davis was the victim!
Hitler was the victim!
Eff’em all and their whiny, insurrectionist, snowflake cohorts!
Though I’m sure this is not allowed but I would have liked to have seen a Dem ask Gosar or Hice why they didn’t go to the halls of Congress to talk with these Trump supporters?
I know I sound like a broken record but want these Republican members of Congress asked why they hid? Why did they allow themselves to be hustled off into secure areas if these people weren’t violent?
