The Capitol intrusion is compared to 9-11, the Iraq War, the Boston Tea Party, An Insurrection: Unhinged Americans lost their minds?
What happened at the capitol by those who engaged in violence is not only unacceptable, it did enormous damage to the cause.
Worse yet, the Party of Unity and its “Bidenistas” supporters, as Col Allen West calls them, have exploited it for their political advantage and fame at the expense of millions of Americans who feel they have no representation.
Dozens follow an Pelosi in calling to turn the United States virtually upside-down in a matter of days for her unhinged personal hate four year agenda.
The King of Unity and Lockdowns Biden does not walk tall as he demands that Congress bifurcate its efforts to impeach as well as do his bidding.
A war Veteran likened the capital rally and violence to the Iraq War?
Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo, former Army Ranger, is one of the politicians scurrying to retain their positions while some remain silent. He throws President Trump under the bus:
“We have known for a long time that Donald Trump is violent and unstable. After what happened yesterday, 13 days is too long. He needs to be removed from office — whether it be invoking the 25th Amendment or impeachment. We must protect our democracy.”
Unhinged, he is likening the capital violence to Iraq:
I led over 100 combat missions in Iraq & Afghanistan. Combat exposure is a trauma; it affects everyone differently. If you were a Member, staff, or officer in the Capitol Wed, don’t suppress post-traumatic feelings & fears. Seek help. I’m available to anyone who wants to talk
Today, Congressman Jason Crow (CO-06) joined by 107 members sent a letter to the Government Accountability Office demanding an investigation into the security failure in the January 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol.
“In the aftermath of one of the darkest days in our nation’s history, we are forced to reconcile with difficult truths about failures of leadership and preparation. The failures of security are far more easily corrected than the failure to lead and the abuse of the public trust. Now we must seek the facts and follow them to their clear conclusion, regardless of how difficult that end may be. Your comprehensive and independent investigation into these matters is essential to ensuring that the events of yesterday will never again be allowed to occur in America,” the lawmakers write to GAO in the letter.
Full text of the letter here and below:
We write to you today with grave urgency over the acts of insurrection that occurred yesterday at the United States Capitol complex and the unprecedented incitement and security failures that directly led to the overrun of government offices by terrorists.
In the months leading up to January 6, 2021, there was an online movement to organize a large gathering of protestors to descend on Washington, D.C. to dispute the outcome of the election, consistent with the President’s baseless claims of fraud and at his urging. Among those that may have had peaceful intentions, there is robust reporting that indicated detailed preparations for seditious or violent confrontation were being made on social media. In the past several days, as supporters of the President traveled to Washington, there were numerous documented antagonistic confrontations of public officials, instances of intimidation, and seizure of weaponry that forebode conflict. On the morning of January 6, 2021, the planned large gathering began with an event in front of the White House where numerous individuals, including the President of the United States and his associates, spoke in clear and deliberate fashion about confrontation at the Capitol, the illegitimacy of the electoral process, and “trial by combat”. In doing so, the President created the tinder box of conditions for uncontrollable confrontation, added accelerant with his rhetoric, and lit the match.
Immediately following the President’s remarks, the newly-incited mob outside of the White House moved to the Capitol Complex and joined with protestors outside of the Capitol. Shortly thereafter, the mob moved on the Capitol building and the congressional office buildings and, despite valiant efforts from some law enforcement personnel, swiftly broke through barricades and overran the Capitol. The terrorists broke windows and doors, ransacked offices, threatened the safety of Members and staff, and ultimately gained unfettered control of the Senate floor. After seizing control of the Capitol, the terrorists were able to maintain control for hours before exiting at their own accord and without arrest.
In addition to the destruction at the Capitol, Members and staff located in the office complex were forced to shelter in place – many forced to use furniture to reinforce office doors. Nearby residences and offices were forced to evacuate due to the uncontrolled security situation and a number of improvised explosive device threats – both confirmed and reported. Public safety became so compromised that many felt compelled to call loved ones in the event that the mob broke through the remaining barricades.
Finally, and most seriously for the continuity of government operations, the chaos compromised our national security at the highest levels by endangering the presidential line of succession beginning with the Vice President of the United States and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. With hundreds of thousands of American servicemembers, diplomats, and aid workers deployed overseas, many in dangerous locations, any threat that calls into question the continuity of the United States government to respond to threats jeopardizes the security of all Americans.
In the aftermath of one of the darkest days in our nation’s history, we are forced to reconcile with difficult truths about failures of leadership and preparation. The failures of security are far more easily corrected than the failure to lead and the abuse of the public trust. Now we must seek the facts and follow them to their clear conclusion, regardless of how difficult that end may be. Your comprehensive and independent investigation into these matters is essential to ensuring that the events of yesterday will never again be allowed to occur in America.
Others likened the violence of the rally to 9-11 or an insurrection. Photos prove otherwise:
Yet others liken it to the Boston Tea Party?
