INSANE: Sunny Hostin COMPARES J6 To Holocaust, Slavery; Robby & Niall DEBATE

Absolute hypocrites. I'm a lefty and if the left did this I also would call it out. Being principled is rare these days apparently

[@KTTerry]

There was no insurrection. Period.

[@grant46n2]

I think insurrection speaks to intent not outcome. The ones Niall refers to, whether successful or not (or even plausible), had the intention of stopping a democratic process, thus thwarting the will of the people, thus insurrection. It's not about the swamp, or the deep state, or lobbyists.. and weighing Trumps culpability is another matter.. a variable that need not be there to conclude some of these individuals actions should be categorized as acts of "insurrection".

[@tangreen7267]

[@heyron3554]

@@valkimura1053There was no substantive evidence to suggest that any actual voter fraud was transpiring in 2020, and the individual primarily responsible for instigating the accusations of voter fraud came from Trump. He riles up his base for months that their candidate not winning inherently indicated fraud, with no evidence other than petulance and arrogance, believing he could only have lost by way of fraudulent means. He invites his supporters to the Capitol via a tweet, telling them to meet him there, and thus commences a riot that made its way inside of the building. The common denominator in precipitating all of the violence and debate around voter integrity was Trump’s loss, with his supporters insisting fervently that his second term was stolen from him. It’s grossly disingenuous to suggest there was any other reason that they were there that day, or to pretend that you don’t see what very blatantly obviously was *the* reason.

[@Eye8apie]

An "alleged", insurrection with no guns having been used in a nation where guns are legal is laughable!😂

[@michaelp6794]

Niall is a fool. Nobody was armed. It was a bad look, but you saw security walking around with the people that broke in. You didn’t see a lot of violent fights. You didn’t see anything extraordinarily violent in the protest. They broke some windows some people trespassed and that’s it. Nobody died, except for one poor lady who was shot by a security guard

[@mittenil2972]

Don't disrespect Niall

[@universalsoldier2293]

No, the protestors absolutely destroyed parts of the building. But I agree that it wasn't as consequential as numerous other protests-turned-riots in the most recent past--especially when you consider that the 2020 riots harmed and even killed innocent civilians/businesses who had nothing to do with police violence.

[@timsmith2848]

I think Naill's point is not the probable success of the riot in stopping the transfer of power but that it was the intent of many of the rioters to stop the transfer of power.

[@julessantana643]

Niall is so propagandized.

[@jackjrabbit]

This is all gas lighting. what should be the biggest discussion around this is how the government intentionally neglected policing this protest to allow it to go as far as it did. and the whole reason for this was to create a political talking piece to demonize an opponent of the elites of the uni party. that they would allow our government buildings, historic buildings and important buildings, to be overrun by an almost completely unarmed group of protesters just to create a situation that they could rail on about for years if not decades is disgraceful. to Niall This is the same attitude that speaks to The complete disregard for human life in the Gaza conflict that the elites have shown. This is what is most important about this situation.
