Common Sense Addressed to the Inhabitants of America

"I’m going to start out with a hard truth nobody in elected office is allowed to say, but that is nonetheless true: had there been an insurrection on January 6, 2021, it would have been 100% justified – far more so than when leftist rioters burned down buildings and fought with the police and National Guard, trying to get into the Capitol Building on January 6, 2017. Leftwing politicians and our media seem to have forgotten that more than 200 people were arrested, and six police officers were injured, around the Capitol Building in a riot on January 6, 2017.

"One difference between January 6, 2017, and January 6, 2021, is that in 2017 Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House at the time, called up several thousand police reserves and the National Guard to keep people out of the Capitol Building, whereas in 2021 Nancy Pelosi did not do a damned thing. Another difference is that 2017 saw more than ten times as much damage as did 2021. Another difference is that the police did not kill any of the rioters in 2017, whereas in 2021, a police officer shot and killed an unarmed Air Force veteran named Ashli Babbitt. Another difference is that in 2017 none of the protesters were really prosecuted, whereas, since 2021, the FBI has been working very hard to prosecute anyone and everyone near the Capitol Building, whether they broke the law or not.

"Nancy Pelosi had, incidentally, been told by the FBI that there would be a riot on January 6, 2021 (there are indications that the FBI may have had informants helping to foment one). She still did nothing – and that was by choice.

"The biggest difference between January 6, 2017, and January 6, 2021, is the way Democrats and the press covered both incidents. Democrats championed the rioters in 2017 – some were directly involved. In most cases, the SAME Democrats who supported an ACTUAL insurrection in 2017 are the loudest people calling January 6, 2021, an insurrection, today.". . .
