Friend -- as new footage from the January 6 Capitol riots is released, we are reminded of how hypocritical the insurrectionists and those that defend them are.
Incited by Trump, hundreds of rioters stomped on the flag and police officers, threatened the lives of legislators, and demanded the overthrow of our democracy.
Joe Scarborough from Morning Joe reminded us of the pure hypocrisy of these rioters and those that support them: “[The rioters] were using American flags to brutalize police officers, law enforcement personnel. Hypocrites on supporting the blue, hypocrites on supporting the American flag.”
Team -- members of the GOP like Wisconsin senator Ron Johnson are pretending like nothing happened on January 6. While they try to paint a picture of peace, we can't deny the facts: Police officers were brutalized, legislators feared for their lives, and America's democracy was threatened.
When elected officials in the GOP actively defend and justify these acts of insurrection, they set a dangerous precedent. We can't keep allowing right-wing extremists to threaten our democracy, and that starts with getting extremists out of office.
