Have some on DU braved rwnj forums to see how they are spinning this...

...terrorist action at the capitol today? I apologize if something similar has already been posted. I was feeling ill and slept for a lot of the day, came to check out DU as I often do, and saw the posts of what was happening. Hope to whatever deities are out there that these terrorists face the consequences of their actions. One good thing seems to have come out it, though: it scared the objecting senators and congress critters shitless and they appear to be dropping their theatrical, nonsensical objections to certification of the electoral college vote.

One thing. Why the hell would any person of any anti fascist group hold up the certification of votes for the newly elected President they want? That's right. They wouldn't. Anyone with common sense would know this.

And did some pic matching BS, including the nordic dude, who we know now.

They also are claiming that the capitol police were part of it like this jerk off:

There are videos showing the police opening gates to allow "Trump supporters" in to storm the capitol. No excuse for ignorance, there's enough evidence showing a set up here.


Eta this was his earlier tweet:

they're BLM/Antifa, and they were escorted in buses there by the police.

This is from twitter, I dont go to parler or any other rw site.

Lots of It was ANtifa...they're disguised as Trump supporters.

Lots of what about BLM, what about the summe rof love, wha tabout, what about, what about.

I'm calling out wrong facts. and even more irritating to the other side, I callout when they distract, change subjects, and redirect to the original topic. Most don't read the links.

And that's just from facebook....

I'm assiduous about not calling things republican, or gop--just posted this was the second time since 1814 the Capitol was attacked. What about when Kavenaugh was being confirmed? Yeah, no, chanting protests in the office building atrium followed by 300 arrests is not the same.
What about BLM? They were in the capital. They threw bricks. Capitol, not capital.

I said I was not going to have off topic posts. I'd call them out. Had one guy say by then, I'm not joining. Um I said stay on topic. Not unfriend. Such defensiveness, such knee jerk reactions, and they know, deep down, they know we're right. They will not address today actual events. Stay polite. Call their statements untrue, don't name call. They devolve and sputter and need to attack. They're locked in the anger and denial phase of grief.

It went like that.

None addressed the anarchists attacking the Capitol.

Those rotten leftists got mixed up with a nice peaceful Sunday school group and caused all this mayhem. That's what they're going with.
