Donald Trump says some of Capitol rioters posed 'zero threat'

[ThatOwlWoman]

Stop lying Bird Brains nobody killed five people. 3 people died from natural causes and the Capital police murdered an unarmed woman. And one Capital police officer , Officer Sicknick, died of, as yet unknown to the public, causes on January the 7th the day after the Capital riot.. The autopsy has yet to be released and the cause of death is unknown to the public. Perhaps its a delayed allergic reaction to bear spray or just a natural heart attack we do not know yet. More gun powder was used against the Federal Courthouse in Portland than the ZERO gun powder that was used against the Capital in DC.

Still making excuses for your insurrectionists, I see. I wonder how you'd feel if it was a crazed horde of Lefties, and they had succeeded in disrupting and destroying the government in order to install Hillary on the throne. Oh, what a delicious irony *that* would have been!

Problem is, there is a difference. Our Vice President lobbied for bail money for rioters who burned and looted private businesses, burned public buildings and vehicles. A few clowns did far less than that and they want to hang them. Then, they build an armed (?) fortress around the building, saying "intelligence suggests..." LOL!

Like you said, no difference at all.

Apparently you forgot the part where the crazed rioters wanted to KILL the then-VP. Convenient.

Are you concerned that ANTIFA tried to burn down the Federal Courthouse in Portland and they shined lasers in Federal officers eyes and damaged their vision.

Prosecute them.

Next

 

[domer76]

Well we know for a fact that people who agree with ANTIFA goals coordinate with each other and gather to riot and try to burn down the Portland Courthouse. So you can pretend that ANTIFA does not exists if you want but someone gathered to shoot fireworks and lasers at the Federal Courthouse. And those people painted ANTIFA symbols on the Federal Courthouse.

1) Setting fire to a federal building. (Arson)
2) Storming the nation’s Capitol to overthrow a presidential election, harm congressmen and in the process kill and injure cops. (Sedition)

Hmmmm.

Which is the more severe crime? Arson or sedition?

Trump fucking idiots: #1
Sane and reasonable people: #2

Almost to a person the people on the streets of DC that day just wanted to be heard. They had no thoughts of overthrowing the government, that is a lie.....they wanted their government to listen to them. Many years of being told "Shut up and Die!" by the left and lack of support and lies from the Legacy Republicans is how they got there. And now on top of that abuse they get persecuted.

They had been heard. Over 60 times in the courts. Multiple recounts.

Lost every time. Sucks to lose, doesn’t it?

Losers and pussies. Ignorant ones at that.

You are the one who is ignoring the leftists that have attacked our Federal Court system and advocate for anarchy. I have already said the morons that attacked the Capital building should be prosecuted. BUT the people that attacked the Federal Courthouse should be prosecuted with the exact same harshness. Unlike you I have the honesty to call both groups out.

 

[christiefan915]

OP fact check: true

All you have to do is watch the videos to see that some of the rioters were more like protesters that made a bad decision by moving into the Capitol. But Trump’s statement flies in the face of the media narrative.

Just show us a pic or video of the protestors hugging and kissing the cops. Give us a reason to believe trump isn't lying once again.

The people that attack the Federal Courthouse and tried to BLOCK the doorways while they set the occupied building on fire were attempting mass murder. Even the mayor agreed to that. Why did they choose a Federal Courthouse to attack. Because they are anarchist that seek to overthrow the US government. No difference really. Sedition and anarchy are the same.

Prosecute them.

Then don't SELECTIVELY complain about the Capital rioters.

OT, but what is it with some GOP nut jobs in MI? Joking about assassination, this jerk needs to be censured or worse.

"The chairman of the Michigan Republican Party called the state's top female Democratic officials "witches" and joked about assassinating GOP Congress members who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump. Ron Weiser made both remarks on camera during a Thursday meeting with a local Republican club...

"We're focused on the three witches," Weiser said, adding that he was also working on winning Republican majorities in the state's House and Senate.

The "witches" comment refers to three female leaders who are all up for reelection in 2022: Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. All three are Democrats and became GOP targets for their opposition to Mr. Trump and his attempts to overturn his defeat in Michigan. Whitmer, in particular, has been subjected to misogynist criticism over her handling COVID-19 restrictions. She was also allegedly targeted for a failed kidnapping plot.

Some audience members pushed back on Weiser's response, demanding answers about how to handle "witches in our own party."

"Other than assassination, I have no other way other than voting out, okay?" Weiser responded. "You people have to go out there and support their opponents. You have to do what you need to get out the vote in those areas. That's how you beat people."

Soooooooooo stupid. As if a NAME means a fucking thing. Maybe a group can call itself antiMurder,.....then when they go around killing people they can say...."NOT US,....we are anti murder"

Losers and pussies. Ignorant ones at that.

Zero forensic recounts where the actual ballots are examined. Maricopa County should be the first county to actually examine the ballots. The Arizona state legislature has ordered the recount but the Maricopa County election officials have been fighting it tooth a nail. Why? They have lost in court though. Sucks to lose, doesn’t it?

Did you call for Missouri state senator Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal’s resignation or censure when she called for the assassination of Trump?

Did you post something about it that I overlooked?

The ‘lie’ is that virtually everyone there was going ‘overthrow the government’ and or kill someone.

Trump was correct in calling out that lie.

Donald Trump has defended some of his supporters who rioted at the US Capitol on 6 January, saying they posed “zero threat” to the lawmakers who had assembled there to certify the electoral college vote that confirmed Joe Biden’s election victory.

Trump complained to Fox News’s Laura Ingraham that law enforcement was “persecuting” the Capitol rioters, while “nothing happens” to leftwing protesters. Five people, including a police officer, died in the riot.

Trump acknowledged that those who stormed the Capitol “went in and they shouldn’t have done it”. But he added: “Some of them went in and they’re, they’re hugging and kissing the police and the guards. You know, they had great relationships. A lot of the people were waved in and then they walked in and they walked out.”

Failure.

Nobody died in that arson. The fire was set in the entryway at 1:30AM. You No attempt to overthrow the democratic process.

Then don't SELECTIVELY complain about the Capital rioters.

If it went over your head, Jethro, I compared the two.

Whatever riotous events occurred at BLM protests are a distant, far distant second place to the killing and seditionist, treasonous acts at the Capitol.

No election fraud. No voter fraud. 60 lost cases. Accurate recounts.

You fucking lost. Fair and square. Deal with it.

306-232. 80,000,000+ votes. Seven million popular vote win.

LANDSLIDE!

Are we arguing Trump lying again? Trump just does it normally and blatantly. The weird part is his followers just jump back on the Trump train of lies. 4 pages of people deflecting and whataboutisms. Trump just said one of the most obvious lies ever. We all saw the nation's capitol being attacked and cops being injured. Trump says the opposite because he knows that his followers will argue that. He is trying to mitigate the damage that he did. Trump is as low a person as I ever saw. He respects nothing and nobody.
