“The president bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding.” – Kevin McCarthy. January 13, 2021
The narrative last night ignores tens of thousands of pages of court filings and the tonnage of footage already released by the Justice Department and shown in open court. And it ignores the powerful and at times tearful accounts of injured officers who testified under oath. Carlson called January 6th, quote, ‘mostly peaceful and meek with a small percent that was violent.’
Video Carlson didn’t air shows police and rioters engaged in hours of violent combat. Nearly 1,000 people have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack. About 140 officers were assaulted that day, and about 326 people have been charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding officers or employees, including 106 assaults with deadly or dangerous weapons. About 60 people pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement. Blue lives matter, you say. Two pipe bombs were also planted nearby but not detonated. Should be a law against that. IEDs on a normal tourist visit.
