FAUX News: "... Trumps lawyers will show violence in Seattle and Detroit..." 🙄🙄🙄

[uponit7771]

So yeah, Trump hired some dime store lawyers cause he knows the true believing kGQP senators will not vote to convict him.

Now it's the false equivalency of "democrats did it" bullshit ... jus damn

FAUX News is the lying leader of the this overt false equivalency shit from the right

EDIT

Effective retorts to these false equivalencies: BLM didn't call for people to break the law president Trump did !!! Looting a Starbucks isn't the same as trying to bomb the capital building !!

EDIT

Observation: If the senate trial was ... HELPING ... the kGQP FAUX News would be showing it minute for minute but now they're talking about Senator Warren and why those non white people in congress are evil.

1. They might as well show violence in ancient Rome. LOL n/t

[underpants]

2. So they are going to show Fox News basically

That’s their distraction. That and Corey Booker and Maxine Waters....yeah do the math on that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they ask to play the anthem first - that’s THE big story over there right now.

[uponit7771]

9. YES !!! That's going to be their whole retort

[redstatebluegirl]

18. Well you know Fox will cover those hearings.

[underpants]

21. They aren't. Tucker went into a very weird place last night.

3. Please show where the protesters were

Wearing tactical gear, carrying zip tie cuffs, stun guns, metal baseball bats and stormed a government building full of elected representatives.

Eta ...

After erecting a gallows and chanting “Hang (fill in the blank) and swearing to put bullets in heads.

4. And which leader of the Democratic party will they show inciting violence? There are none!

It seems to me they are trying to put an entire political party on trial. We're trying the leader of one. The rest of his party seems pretty capable of damning themselves.

[uponit7771]

12. RIGHT !!! Not only that but Trump told them to break the law by violating the permit set

... for that protest there's no BLM person or democratic party leader who did that.

Their whole "we need to resist" is the kGQP false equivalence crap they're doing now.

[underpants]

22. Corey Booker and Maxine Waters

Corey said to “get in their face” and Maxine said to distrust their meals. Trump people that is.

I disagree with both but neither is inciting violence let alone trying to stop the democratic process of a peaceful transfer of power.

5. My response to online trolls trying to compare BLM protests with the fascist insurrection:

One was a BLM protest in Portland, the other an attempted violent overthrow of democratically elected government in the Capitol. One of these is treason. Let's see if you can figure out which.

6. What does that have to do with attacking our capital, and what Democrat encouraged it?

[sinkingfeeling]

8. That's not a defense.

[andym]

10. That's how they are programming Republicans to respond to the insurrection at Fox News etc

Basically, it's supposed to be excused because there were also attacks on government buildings by protesters during the summer. Unthinking GOP-oriented viewers buy-in-- they don't notice that the insurrection was an attempt to take over Congress with murderous intent in order to subvert the will of the people and install the loser of the election. The Trump catalyzed insurrection was FAR more than a riot.

The false equivalency narrative must be destroyed-- I'm pretty sure the House managers will destroy that argument, point by point.

This is of course only for public consumption-- since it's clear that there are not enough GOP senators willing to convict Trump, so he gets off without any consequences.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Believe the spew line will be,

well they(Black Lives Matters persons) attacked us first and we just returned the favor. The old blame the Victims defense.

[uponit7771]

13. +1, cause to them BLM and president are same level and Starbucks is same as capital building

[Wellstone ruled]

14. Pretty much a

given how this plays out because that is what Diaper Don and his Crime Syndicate is all about. Fifty years of deflection,well he did it to me so now I will get him fifteen times worse. Exact words used by the Diaper Boy several times in interviews over the decades.

[MineralMan]

15. Obviously Irrelevant.

[marmar]

16. There was no violence in Detroit during BLM protests.

Not a single window broken. It's a chimera.

[uponit7771]

17. They'll pick a city and lie about it showing video from another city or some shit. They're not tryin

... to defend Putin's Whore cause they know there's no way the senate has the votes to convict Red Don.

I do think dems have done a hell of a job showing how Trump was culpable before, during and after the violence began.

Oh great ... more FAUX News cute puppy shit ... these people are discpiable.

IF the trial was helping the kGQP they'd be commenting and showing ever milisecond of it

[bif]

20. I agree. I live here and didn't hear about a single incident.

It's all bullshit.

[lagomorph777]

19. RW terrorists inifltrated the BLM protests. So this isn't even valid whataboutism.
