I don’t care how much you don’t like the press.

It is absolutely, patently absurd to pretend that the riots that shook DC and other cities by BLM and antifa could hold a candle to the threatening insurrectionist activity we saw today. (1/6)

Today’s riot and assault on the US Capitol isn’t some symbolic issue.

The national guard is actively being deployed to the US Capitol in response to seditious threats against the US Congress, cheered on by a president who had rallied these rioters to DC beforehand. (2/6)

I’ve seen a lot of you on here spend your time today criticizing the media and the left for being concerned about today’s events but not the riots we saw here, in Minneapolis, in NYC and beyond last summer.

You are wrong to do so. (3/6)

Were the summer’s riots bad? Of course. Did the media do an awful job covering them? Yes, as I’ve said time and again, they did. Did they cause enormous individual & collective damage across major cities? Absolutely.

They weren’t an attempt to overthrow an election. (3/6)

This is a shock to the American system of government unlike anything we’ve seen since 9/11.

Whether or not the those on the left or in the media have falsely claimed before that other things were just this bad Does. Not. Matter.

Neither does what they’ve ignored. (4/6)

What matters is that the President of the United States - a man of our political party, conservatives - has given cover to a collective action that can only be called insurrection.

If your thoughts and priorities are elsewhere tonight, you should look inward, and quickly. END
