Democrats learn hard truths about Capitol breach

FBI Director Christopher Wray punched a sizable hole in the Democrats’ narrative about the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol complex. He reminded Democrats that the event was nothing like the “horror” of 9/11. He taught them that the word “insurrection” has a precise legal meaning and that he can’t use the term in the same way that Democrats hug the word. He also noted that there were three groups at the Capitol that day, and not all of them were committing violent crimes.

Since Jan. 6, 2021, most Americans have moved on with their lives, trying to deal with newfound inflation, open borders, schools that are still closed, an economy that is underperforming, rioting in Portland on a nightly basis, and the desire to move past the pandemic and return to normalcy.

While Americans are more concerned with violence in their neighborhoods, especially if they live in a Democrat-controlled city trying to defund the police, the leftists in Congress want to focus on the violence at the Capitol that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021.
Because the Biden administration and its co-conspirators in Congress (the Democrats) have no policy ideas that will get America back to work, secure our borders, and acknowledge the greatness of freedom in America, they still want to attack anything that they can tenuously associate with President Trump.

In their minds, President Trump is still the president. His policies were successful while theirs have been such dismal failures that they want to focus on division. So, they continue to hyperbolize the Jan. 6 incident.

Republicans have been consistent in denouncing violence of any kind, much like Director Wray did in his testimony. We do not minimize in any way what happened in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Nearly 500 people have been arrested and are being prosecuted for everything from misdemeanor trespass to more serious conspiracy charges.

But Democrats have excused violence and mayhem in American cities for the last year. They have advocated to release leftist rioters from jail. Democrat prosecutors have dismissed charges. Kamala Harris encouraged support for a Minnesota organization that help raise bail for those charged with rioting after the killing of George Floyd.

In that context it must have been jarring to Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee to hear Wray state clearly that the Jan. 6 incident was not comparable to the “horror” of the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

Democrats’ message is not resonating because they overstate everything. They argue that a very serious incident, organized by a few fanatics, to interrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election is equivalent to the foreign terrorists who hijacked four planes, flew them into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and a Pennsylvania forest, killed more than 3,000 people, injured thousands more, and caused billions of dollars in damage.

They appeal to the visceral by calling the Jan. 6 incident an “insurrection” even though they know the legal definition is not met.

Democrats, even in the Judiciary hearing, argue that the rioting for the past year is merely a series of peaceful protests and simply an exercise of First Amendment rights, but paint everyone who came to the Capitol on Jan. 6 as “insurrectionists” attempting to take over the government.
Thank goodness that Director Wray reminded Democrats that most people gathered at the Capitol were truly “peaceful protestors exercising their First Amendment rights.” Many others weren’t engaged in violence, they were simply where they were not legally supposed to be, and a number of those have been charged with trespass. And, with justification, the FBI and the DOJ have been investigating and arresting those who attacked police and vandalized the Capitol.

The Democrats must have been shocked to hear the truth. Now, if only we could get the Democrats to admit the truth about antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters — and get federal officials to investigate and prosecute them.

但民主党人去年为美国城市的暴力和混乱行为开脱。他们主张释放左翼暴徒出狱。民主党检察官驳回了指控。卡马拉哈里斯鼓励支持明尼苏达州的一个组织,该组织帮助为乔治·弗洛伊德被杀后被控暴动的人提高保释金。

在这种情况下,众议院司法委员会的民主党人听到 Wray 明确表示 1 月 6 日的事件与 9/11 恐怖袭击的“恐怖”无法相提并论,这一定让他们感到不安。

民主党的信息没有引起共鸣,因为他们夸大了一切。他们辩称,一场由少数狂热分子组织的、中断2020年总统选举认证的非常严重的事件,相当于外国恐怖分子劫持了四架飞机,将它们飞入双子塔、五角大楼和宾夕法尼亚州的一片森林中,杀死了他们。 3,000 多人,数千人受伤,并造成数十亿美元的损失。

他们通过将 1 月 6 日的事件称为“叛乱”来呼吁内心深处,即使他们知道不符合法律定义。

民主党人,即使在司法听证会上,也辩称过去一年的骚乱只是一系列和平抗议,只是行使第一修正案的权利,但将 1 月 6 日来到国会大厦的每个人都描绘成“叛乱分子”,试图接管政府。
谢天谢地,雷主任提醒民主党人,大多数聚集在国会大厦的人都是真正“行使第一修正案权利的和平抗议者”。许多其他人并没有参与暴力,他们只是在法律不应该去的地方,其中一些人被指控非法侵入。而且,联邦调查局和司法部一直在调查和逮捕袭击警察和破坏国会大厦的人,这是有道理的。

民主党人听到真相一定很震惊。现在,如果我们能让民主党承认关于 antifa 和 Black Lives Matter 骚乱者的真相——并让联邦官员调查和起诉他们就好了。
