The Duplicitous Jan. 6 'Insurrection' Melodrama

After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi kicked two Republicans off the House investigation of the January 6 riot at the Capitol, the Democrats and their media flaks went into high gear to obfuscate Pelosi's transparently partisan motive to ensure the investigation reaches the preordained conclusion: that Donald Trump incited an "Insurrection" aimed at undoing the election results.

The column is filled with hyperbole like "The deadliest attack on the Capitol in two centuries." In fact, of course, the only fatalities were three protestors and a DC police officer who all died from natural causes, and Ashli Babbit, an Air Force veteran shot to death by a DC cop even though she posed no immediate physical harm to him or anybody else.

Five representatives were wounded in the attack, saved from death only by the attackers' poor marksmanship.

So much for "Deadliest attack in two centuries," or other hype like "Deadly day," used without mentioning that the only violent death was Ashli Babbit's.

Just about every claim the progressives and NeverTrump Republicans are making about January 6 and Trump's culpability for the riot are begged questions.

Here's a typical example from the Politico Dem court scribes: Rationalizing Pelosi's Javert-like hounding of Donald Trump and her blatant attempt to rig the investigation, the writers counter Republican charges of Pelosi's partisan machinations, "But the California Democrat and her allies insist it's the best way to prevent a repeat of the deadly day when thousands of rioters stormed the Capitol bent on overturning a democratic election and threatened to kill members of Congress."

The Capitol is important not because it's the corporate offices of Leviathan, Inc. The Capitol is the marble and brick embodiment of the Constitution, its balance of powers, divided government, and unalienable rights-everything the progressives for a century have been relentlessly dismantling, everything that the Democrats for the last few decades have been besmirching.
