Make no mistake that I will go to my grave wondering how in the name of sane thought certain congressional Republicans can compare the 1/6 insurrection to a normal “tour group” walking through the Capitol Building.
Yet … they are. They continue to insist that despite what our “lying eyes” are telling us, the attack on our nation’s Capitol was no big deal. The traitors who smashed through windows, waged hand-to-hand combat with Capitol cops and defecated on the floor bore no resemblance to a “normal” tour group.
The televised congressional hearings continue to engrave in our memories that the frontal assault was organized as such and carried out just as radical groups intended.
What continues to astound me is that the congressmen and women who barf out the nonsense about 1/6 have voters back home who actually endorse the perversion that pours out of their respective pie holes.
This is a great country. Its greatness, though, is being stained — indelibly, I fear — by the nimrods conducted the insurrection against our democratic process.
