GOP Rep: Jan 6th was "a normal tourist visit"

[NoleATL]

Anytime a politician (especially GOP politicians these days) say “Let’s be honest with the American people"... You know a load of crap is going to spew from their mouths....

 

[ConvenientParking]

More like late late night at a Catholic wedding reception than a DC tour I would say

I remember my 8th grade visit to Washington, D.C. My classmates and I stormed the Smithsonian, tried to steal the Hope Diamond, and wiped our feces on the museum’s walls.

Noob.

You forgot trying to gouge out officer’s eyes.

You can be guaranteed future Texas school books (and therefore other states) will call it a peaceful protest.

For most of them it was.

Yep, and the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery. These people are demented and total pieces of shit.

Smh. Get a clue.

Why are Congress people "testifying" on this?

 

[95Hawk]

I know....right?

A couple of bad apples had to ruin a peaceful sightseeing trip to the Capitol. Really a shame.

 

[lucas80]

For most of them it was.

Kristallnacht was a peaceful protest. A few folks got out of hand, right?

 

[lucas80]

Everyone of these deniers needs to go under oath and tell the country where they were hiding on 1/6 as the Trump insurrection raged in the Capitol.

Fun fact: the vast majority of those flying on 9/11/01 didn’t take over an aircraft and use it as a cruise missile.

Darn those 19 bad apples.

Peaceful: not involving war or violence.

look... you’re wrong AGAIN.

10,000 people. 472 arrests. Anyone need a calculator to figure out that less than 5% of the people there were charged with a crime? Throw in another 5% that probably should be charged and you are talking about 90% of the people there being peaceful protesters.

I'd say that qualifies as most.

Watch Fanone's body camera video and what Anderson Cooper did last night as the GQP Congressmembers lied away January 6th events and he played footage alongside with what they were lying about.

So what occurred on 1/6 was cool? Because most participants weren’t arrested?

Wow. Just wow.

Wait... 10,000 people stormed the Capitol?

Are you trying to be funny? I'm obviously missing the joke.

Not what I said.

Sure it is. You said it was a mostly peaceful protest.

It wasn’t.

10,000 people? That took a lot of organization.

I wonder who organized that trip?

AAA?

People freaking died at this attempted coup. To even try and defend this as some sort of “normal tourism” is flat out lying and you are just being complicit if you are honestly arguing these protestors were there with peaceful intentions.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Not what I said.

There is NO excuse for this day. Trump trumpeted this since December. This was orchestrated by him on down and his rhetoric 100% incited them. Only a fool would think otherwise.

 

[GOHOX69]

GOPers in Congress are deranged lunatics.

 

[DooBi]

So you guys are saying all 10,000 people are guilty of murder and insurrection?

 

[Chishawk1425]

So you guys are saying all 10,000 people are guilty of murder and insurrection?

They were there for bad things that day. Stop the Steal? Give me a break and also of course not but they will be the 1st ones in line at the next one if they were that stupid to be there this time.

 

[TheCainer]

So you guys are saying all 10,000 people are guilty of murder and insurrection?

Accomplices, I believe is the term.

 

[ping72]

So you guys are saying all 10,000 people are guilty of murder and insurrection?

You still have not proven that number is the accurate number of people who stormed the capital.

I suspect you’re overshooting.

 

[Monzon]

The arrests aren't over yet. Don't latch too tightly to that 472 number.

Doobi is splitting hairs and doing the good work of the GQP.

Because not everyone who listened to Trump’s speech on 1/6 then stormed the Capitol and assaulted peace officers, it’s really not that big of a deal.

See...it just got out of hand for a few, enthusiastic folks. Never mind that the Capitol hadn’t been assaulted since 1814. Or, the fact that it was American citizens leading the assault in 2021.

No biggie, right?

Time to throw in the towel. Pass Scooby the Doobie.

I guess using your line of thinking would put a get-away driver from a crime scene as a guy just out for a Sunday drive.

So, so, so stupid. 😂😂😂

Like, breathtakingly dumb. 😂😂

I mean, the average 7 year old can see why this take is horribly moronic. 😂😂😂😂

Might actually be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read on HROT and that is an insanely high bar. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It doesn't matter.

The Right set the bar last summer, when they spread lies about riots everywhere, even though that wasn't true.

According to previous precedent, if you were there, you are guilty.

We need a group of tourists to show up at his home for a normal visit.
