What happened Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol was horrifying --
but so was Kenosha, Minneapolis, Chaz, and Portland. Joe Biden only denounces violence when it serves him politically.
President-elect
Joe Biden demanded Wednesday that "just simple decency" be brought back to America after a pro-Trump, "stop the steal" peaceful protest at the U.S. Capitol devolved into a riot. A group of demonstrators stormed the Capitol while lawmakers were trapped inside. One female protester, a retired Air Force veteran, is
confirmed dead.
"At this hour our democracy is under unprecedented assault unlike anything we've seen in modern times," Biden said, adding that what unfolded was "an assault on the rule of law like few times we have ever seen it."
To be clear, Americans have seen a protracted assault on the rule of law recently. We witnessed the downfall of law and order in America all summer. For months, American cities were under siege,
at the mercy of Antifa and Black Lives Matter thugs. At least 30 people were killed during the BLM riots while the corporate media
stood in front of burning cities, characterizing them as "peaceful protests." Yet never did Biden use the forceful language he did yesterday, calling it an "assault on the rule of law." One of those cities was Kenosha, Wisconsin, where I spent days reporting on the riots this summer.
Comment: Would the behavior of the Capitol Police might have been different if other law enforcement personnel had been present? Is this why Mayor Bowser refused all offers of help from the National Guard and other groups?
- DC Mayor Muriel Bowser refused extra assistance for DC police day before capitol riot
- D.C. Mayor Bowser has 'Black Lives Matter' painted on street leading to White House
It's clear that different tactics were used - either in sequence, or at different locations around the complex. Whether that was by design or simply ad hoc, the above descriptions are in line with police tactics against Yellow Vest protesters in France and 'populist movement suppression' elsewhere.One thing is clear, Biden and the Democrats grandstanding about how lightly Trump supporters at the Capitol were treated compared with BLM protesters and Antifa rioters is a sick joke.
