I can say I am of the mindset of Ole Mitch....which is rare.

I have no problem identifying and punishing the 1/6 rioters. I just wish there was this much zeal to find out who the organizers and participants were in the 600+ BLM protest riots. Thr participants in those riots killed and injured people, and destroyed entire city blocks, fenced off city blocks and turned them into no-go autonomous zones.

Instead of Biden and dems trying to stop the violence during the BLM riots, they were supporting the rioters, even donating and promoting groups who were ailing them out, and trying to justify the actions of these violent rioters.

This whole Jan 6th committee is a sham. The property destruction was minimal, even the assaults on law enforcement was minimal. Meanwhile, the destruction and attacks against law enforcement and damage to public and private buildings by the BLM riots was horrendous.

You whine about the "whataboutism" because it is very applicable. Either we care about getting to the bottom of riots and violence, or we don't. The dems don't care. Focusing on 1/6 is political, and that's all it is.

There is no negative so stop deflecting. All you have to do is prove that every single one of the 700+ are Trump supporters.

You're the one pushing it as fact that every single one who'd been arrested is a Trump supporter, not me. Because you are pushing it as fact then yes it is up to you to prove.

You have nothing but your hopes and dreams and fantasies and you know it.
Wait. You're trying to claim that BLM and Antifa participated (or is it instigated?) Jan 6 with no evidence whatsoever, and you're claiming it's up to me to prove they didn't? And I have nothing? LOL!

You're the one with the hopes and fantasies that even ONE BLM or Antifa activist will be found. We already know hundreds of Trump supporters were there, because they've been caught and their faces plastered in the media.

Most likely all of those who'd actually peacefully protested without rioting are Trump supporters, that seems to be the safest bet. Some of the protesters turned rioters are likely Trump supporters, the rest though are probably not.

It kind of looks like the GOP is split on this investigation.....the House GOP is saying it's a political witch hunt......the Senate GOP isn't......that's not good for Trumpians.

Quote:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that he did not speak to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on January 6 about then-President Donald Trump's inaction as a crowd stormed the US Capitol.

The Kentucky Republican also expressed interest in what else the House select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol will discover, in a break with House Republican leaders who dismissed the committee's work as political.
"I was not," McConnell told CNN's Manu Raju when asked if he was in contact with Meadows and or White House officials to urge Trump to do more to stop the riot. "But I do think we're all watching, as you are, what is unfolding on the House side, and it will be interesting to reveal all the participants involved."
Names are going to be coming out....It was just Stupid for the GOP to decline participation in the 1/6 Committee, if they had they would have veto power on who to subpoena. Now that you have Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and the GOP Senate leader acknowledging the committee and what is coming out.....it just simply backfired on them. This committee will just simply report what people said in their own words....not much spin necessary on that.

Quote:
Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Democrat and chairman of the select committee, told Raju on Tuesday that the panel will "make a decision within a week or so when to release" the names of the authors of the texts to Meadows. At this point, he added, the panel had only identified House members who had sent their former House colleague text messages, and not senators.
Thompson said the committee felt it was "important" to first put the content out before making the names public.
"Then we will do our own review on the committee as to if and when we will release them," he said. "We will do it. I can't tell you exactly when that will be."

Yes....the hated CNN but these are direct quotes from members of congress.

What happened: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters he's watching the proceedings of the House Jan. 6 committee and looks forward to seeing what it finds.

"It will be interesting to reveal all the participants who were involved."

— Majority Leader Mitch McConnell



I took McConnell's statement to mean he is interested in see how Nancy Pelosi and other dems were involved.

You stated as a fact "not a single Antifa, BLM, FBI, or anyone has been arrested. They're all Trump supporters", not me. If you're pushing it as a fact then you need to prove it. But you know you cannot with what has been put out at this time, which is why you are now deflecting. how typical.

That's a hypothesis.......I'm thinking with 2022 approaching that Mitch is trying to keep himself and his members in the Senate as far away from this as possible.....that would be another hypothesis.

It's easy to prove. Because if a BLM or ANTI had been arrested, Trumplets would be screaming it from the rooftops. And yet there's not been a peep of it, or you would be screaming it too.

Get it now?

Okay. give us the name of one member of Antifa or BLM who was arrested for their participation in 1/6.

Just one. It shouldn't be that hard since you are claiming the Capitol was swarming with them.
