Today, protesters upset at the vote fraud that gave Joe Biden victory in November held a protest at the Capitol in Washington. Among other things, they broke some windows and forced their way past Capitol Police and into the building. The did not attack anyone. It truly was a mostly peaceful protest.
To hear the media commentary, however, this was like the beginning of an uprising of white supremacists across America. What total nonsense. When BLM or Antifa held riots last Spring and Summer, we were told it was no big deal because they had a grievance and protest is totally American. When they looted small and large businesses alike and beat up people in the street, we were told to ignore it because protest should not be stopped. When Trump's supporters break some windows (and the police shoot and kill one unarmed woman), it's an insurrection, however.
I don't condoned violence or vandalism by anyone, but let's not try to paint BLM and Antifa as anything saints nor to paint today's mob as the ultimate in sinners. It's lies like that that lead to the sort of thing that happened today.
