Bowers was just censured by the Arizona GOP because he testified under oath before the Committee. It's becoming obvious that the nominal GOP is anti-American and anti-Constitution these days.
Sure, right, uh huh. That's why he'd tweeted a number of times throughout the afternoon for them to be peaceful.
Or, they mapped out things themselves.
It seemed to help that the requests for the NG were denied by Pelosi's guy, and that the capitol cops were (maybe?) told to stand down and let them enter the grounds and building.
Seems it's more failings on the one who has full control over the workings of the capitol building.
Feel free to prove that "all" had openly proved they were Trump supporters. Simply carrying a flag or wearing a cap does not do that. I've been asking for y'all to prove it for quite some time, so far it's been crickets from you people.
Maybe you don’t have kids but that mob was like a bunch of kids at a birthday party who know they are being bad but also know the parents are off doing parent stuff and aren’t really paying attention to what they are doing—
They hear random “ya’ll behave now” or “that’s too much noise” but nothing is really done and there are no strong repercussions to make them stop—
They overwhelmed the police on the outside—didn’t seem any real resistance inside except where they tried to break into the inner space and Babbit was shot (and warned several times to STOP BREAKING IN)…
So Trump’s one lame comment to go home was overlayed with the several positive kudos about how he loved them and they were good people
So “lip service” after 4-5 hrs of defacing the Capital, interfering with a government process, assaulting security assigned to protect the personnel and sanctity of the Capital—
They saw they failed
Their idol didn’t show up to part the waters
So they went home
Bedraggled and a little worse for wear but still not admitting any guilt…
He told them to be peaceful before that and then told them to go home. Quite the assumption that they would’ve immediately left when they didn’t leave for almost 2 hours later when he told them. After all, there was a curfew at 6pm and that’s when they left.
They certainly had them outside I would expect they also had them inside.
Trump sequestered himself in the dining room for 2 hours watching the invasion, why didn’t he say something sooner after all he incited them. What type of president sits back and watches the capitol being ransacked for 2 hours and does nothing. Pence called General Milley in pure terror but was told only the commander in chief could make the call.
Just imagine what Trump would have done if this was anybody but his supporters. Remember he took action to clear the streets for his photo op but he was asleep at the wheel for this riot.
Are you talking about someone in the video saying they left immediately at 4:17pm?
Someone saw the video Trump posted and shouted it out. People began packing it in. You're the one asking if people left immediately at 4:17. You're moving the goalposts just like you did in the "He asked them to leave" posts when the most important part of him asking them to leave was that it took him 177 minutes to do so.
No one has even brought up the video of the imbeciles after Trump told them not to harm police officers. Paraphrased, they said, It's what he didn't say. He didn't tell us not to attack senators. See. They listened to him when he told them to march on the Capitol to "stop the steal" and they listened to him when he told them to leave. It's why his staff, his kids, congressmen and Fox News personalities were telling him to make a statement putting an end to this mess. They all knew what some of us here knew, that his rioters woukd listen to him. An we were righ. They did listen to him.

Lol. I’m not moving any goalposts. Where is video of folks immediately packing it in at 4:17 and leaving?
He told them to protest “peacefully and patriotically” and he told them to “go home”. It’s you that’s moving the goalposts to try to deflect from these facts.
