What stage of the grieving process is “denial” again? The only place I have seen/heard anything to say it is propaganda comes from Tucker Carson’s entertainment talk show on Fox. Hardly evidence. Wasn’t that tiny clip edited from 40,000 hours of footage? 😂…

So clear footage isn’t evidence because it’s a 2 minute clip from hours of footage? That doesn’t seem right

Considering there was an armed insurrection taking place, several murders and any number of other crimes being committed, no, 2 minutes of nothing happening is waste of everyone’s time. Unless you are trying to justify being deliberately ignorant... Have any of you actually bothered to watch the bipartisan committee? They have a lot more than 2 minutes of Tuckers doctored footage. Did any of you see the live coverage from the day?? I did. I haven’t forgotten. History will not be kind, try to be on the right side of it.

armed insurrection

several murders

Half a sentence in and you’ve already lost all credibility. It’s well known the people there were unarmed. In fact it’s a scary talking point the left tries to use a lot “but imagine if they were allowed to bring guns, they would’ve killed everyone. Ban guns!”

Who was murdered? I’d like names, autopsies, and police reports please. The only person murdered was Ashley Babbitt who was part of the protest and shot by the federal government.

Not a single source backing your claim, other than Fox News, which has twice been discredited in court.

The very first article by NPR in the search you linked backs up exactly what my point was

The rioters may not have fired shots, but many were armed with other weapons

They did not have firearms. Every single time the term “armed insurrection” has been used in the thousands of years of historical events it’s been applied it’s always in reference to weapons of war. So today, firearms for the average person.

Yes they had bear spray and even some melee weapons. Everyone acknowledges that. You are playing slimy word games and arguing semantics, not substance.

So yes, please go on and tell me how dangerous an “armed insurrection” of fucking sticks and pepper spray is. This is the entire crux of your argument? This is seriously the hill you choose to die on? Semantics? There’s a reason no one takes you seriously.

And while you’re at it can you name me a single time that term “armed insurrection” has applied to a group that had nothing by pepper spray and baseball bats. Just one

No, they had flag poles with American Flags on them and that’s what was being used as the claim of armed insurrectionists. For carrying American Flags on flag poles.
