Enough With The Outrage

This could go on and on, but the point is obvious: Democratic Party politicians and reporters have no standing to complain about political violence (let alone mostly peaceful protests) until they get their own house in order.

John H. Hinderaker   "Like pretty much all conservatives, I have consistently criticized riots and other forms of political violence for many years. That includes yesterday’s Washington, D.C. riot. You can’t say the same about liberals, however. Until yesterday, one might have thought that liberals consider rioting and other forms of political violence to be as American as apple pie.

"You could write a book in support of that proposition, but for now let’s cite just a few examples. Do you remember when President Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2017? Leftist Democrats rioted in Washington that day. That riot was arguably worse, more violent and more destructive, than what happened in D.C. yesterday. The liberal rioters destroyed stores, set vehicles on fire and battled with the police. Six police officers were wounded. Here is a video reminder:"

"I don’t recall a single Democratic office-holder denouncing the Democrats’ Inauguration Day riot, and the Associated Press came perilously close to praising the rioters.

"Over the ensuing four years, Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioted countless times, bringing devastation to cities like Portland, Seattle, Kenosha and Minneapolis. Did any Democrats denounce these riots? Not that I remember. Many Democrats endorsed them, or seemed to do so. Kamala Harris, for example, said about the riots in June:

They’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop. This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not gonna stop. And everyone beware because they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop before Election Day and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. And everyone should take note of that. They’re not gonna let up and they should not.

"This was after 12 people had been killed in Democrat-sanctioned rioting, and billions of dollars in destruction committed. Have any Democrats denounced Black Lives Matter for its role in the riots? Not one. Has any Democrat denounced Antifa? Not that I know of, and some, like Keith Ellison, have specifically endorsed Antifa’s political violence.

"Democratic Party journalists have joined the party’s politicians in excusing riots. The New York Times, for example, published an admiring profile of Antifa. The Washington Post, likewise, has carried water for Antifa." . . .

Alveda King Slams Kamala Harris for Plagiarizing Uncle: 'She's Nothing Like' MLK Jr.

"Niece of Martin Luther King Jr. nukes Democrat over 'Fweedom' scandal". Don't fret, Comma-La; Stephen Colbert will continue to slobber over you. TD

"Alveda King, the niece of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., has slammed Democrat Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) for plagiarizing her uncle, declaring "she's nothing like" MLK.

King took the California senator to task on Tuesday for apparently plagiarizing MLK Jr.'s "Fee-dom" anecdote for her own claimed childhood "Fweedom" story.

Prominent Evangelist King maintained that Harris’s worldview has nothing in common with that of the late civil rights activist.

"Kamala knows that her worldview is totally different than the worldview of Martin Luther King Jr.,” King said during an interview with Fox Business host Lou Dobbs.

"So it’s a big stretch for her to compare herself or to sound like him or to use some of his some analogies."  . . . More...

January 1st, 2021: Still Report Says Antifa Will Be Infiltrating Trump Supporters on Jan 6 - Describes Their Dress Code

"The instigators of rioting in the Capitol who were in all black clothimg are probably antifa infiltrators who wore all black under some superficial trump/rightwing stuff, so their comrades would know not to attack them."

Were leftist provocateurs leading the way into the Capitol?  . . . "Rowan Scarborough reports in the Washington Times:

Trump supporters say that antifa members disguised as one of them infiltrated the protesters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

A retired military officer told The Washington Times that the firm XRVision used its software to do facial recognition of protesters and matched two Philadelphia antifa members to two men inside the Senate.

The source provided the photo match to The Times.

One has a tattoo that indicates he is a Stalinist sympathizer. antifa promotes anarchy through violence and wants the end of America in favor of a Stalinist-state. "No more USA at all" is a protest chant.

XRVision also has identified another man who, while not known to have antifa links, is someone who shows up at climate and Black Lives Matter protests in the West.

There Are a Lot of Phony Claims, But There Was at Least One Antifa Ally Inside the U.S. Capitol   "Video available on Twitter (for now) shows a crowd at one door the Capitol and Trump-supporters shouting "That's Antifa!" and trying to stop a black-clad person with a helmet that says "Trump" on its back (suitable for news cameras) from breaking into the building.", , ,

"One case of antifa infiltration that appears to have merit is the case of John Sullivan. He’s a man of the Left and a BLM/antifa protester from Utah. He was interviewed near the Capitol on Wednesday and admitted to being inside with the protesters. Like the entertainer Madonna, Sullivan was seen last in August in Washington calling for destroying the White House and encouraging a mob to “rip the president” out of the Oval Office."

Chuck Schumer Attacks Trump Supporters: ‘the People Who Follow Him’

 Der Schumerglower on display

. . . "Schumer declared:

But make no mistake, make no mistake, my friends, today’s event did not happen
spontaneously. The president, who promoted conspiracy theories and motivated these thugs, the president, who extorted them to come to our nation’s capital, egged them on, he hardly ever discourages violence [sic], and more often encourages it [sic]. this president bears a great deal of the blame. This mob was in good part president trump’s doing, incited by his words, his lies. This violence, in good part, his responsibility, his everlasting shame.Today’s events certainly, certainly would not have happened without him. Now, January 6 will go down as one of the darkest days in recent American history, a final warning to our nation about the consequences of a demagoguic president, the people who enable him, the captive media that parrots his lies, and the people who follow him, as he attempts to push America to the brink of ruin. As we reconvene tonight, let us remember, in the end, all this mob has really accomplished his delay our work for a few hours.

The Trump Movement As We Knew It Ended Today

 

William A. Jacobson  "It’s often hard to understand the impact an event will have in the future when you are going through it in real time or soon after.

"Today’s storming of the Capitol, including rioting, is one of those real-time events about which I’m comfortable reaching some conclusions.

"The first and most obvious conclusion is that while peaceful protests outside the Capitol are appropriate, fighting with Capitol Police outside, breaking into the building in a violent and menacing manner, fighting with police inside, and then proceeding towards and into the House and Senate chambers requiring evacuation of representatives and Senators is not acceptable. A woman being shot dead by police, while not inevitable, was a consequence. It’s even more unacceptable when Congress is performing a constitutional duty to open and count electoral votes.

"The fact that we have seen violent conduct from the left in recent years also directed at key institutions does not excuse it. Yes, among many other events, we saw anti-Scott Walker protesters take over the Wisconsin statehouse and menace lawmakers, and Antifa/BLM assault federal courthouses and turn sections of cities into war zones. And yes, Democrats and the media excused such violence, and there is a double standard as there always is where pro-Trump “mostly peaceful” protests are not given the same consideration as mostly violent leftist protests. And yes, it’s possible (but not clear) that some of the violent rioters were outside agitators. Politics is not fair, and it’s never been more unfair than how Trump supporters are treated by the media.

"But there was something uniquely offensive to our form of government to have such violence directed at the U.S. Capitol on such a constitutionally meaningful day.

"Which leads me to the second point about which I am confident. Today has forever changed the trajectory of the Trump movement." . . .

Watch Mitt Romney Get Ripped on Airplane Full of Trump Supporters

They should be afraid of us. The government should be fearful of the people. That’s what should keep them in line and do their jobs. They’re not doing that at all in Washington, and Mitt Romney hasn’t been a true Republican in quite some time either.

 Matt Vespa  "The Republican base doesn’t like Mitt Romney. I mean, they really don’t like him. The former 2012 presidential nominee found himself at the kids’ table after he voted with

Democrats on one article of impeachment against President Trump over the bogus Ukraine quid pro quo scheme that never happened. Romney is part of the old wing of the GOP. This wing has zero grasp for the fight and is painfully weak at delivering knockout blows. The man has no sense when it comes to going for the jugular. The Democrats are not to be trusted or liked on the Hill. Romney thinks otherwise. The thing that’s saving him from political annihilation is that he’s from a solidly red state. Could there be a primary challenge? Sure, but is there another hard-core Mormon conservative in Utah who has the connections and pockets to mount a serious primary effort? I want Romney gone. He’s a thorn in the side of the party. He’s up there with Jeff Flake. Alas, the results from last night’s Georgia runoffs bought him some time. We now have to tolerate Mitt and stick together. He did vote to put Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court, which was a good move — but the impeachment vote is unforgivable. He should be booted from the party, but only once we’re on better footing on the Hill.
