Dinesh D'Souza Says Capitol Riots Were 'Just a Bunch of Rowdy People Walking Through a Hallway'




By Colby Hall Feb 24th, 2021, 8:30 am

Insurrection? What Insurrection?!

Conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza presented a curious take on the deadly and violent clash of Trump supporters on Capitol Hill carried out on January 6th in an attempt to interrupt the congressional certification of the Electoral College vote.

Half a dozen people died as a result of what many have fairly called an armed insurrection, including three Capitol Police officers. But, appearing on The Ingraham Angle, D’Souza had a different take on the historic events of that day. This was a hot topic on Capitol Hill as Tuesday saw a Senate hearing featuring former security officers to unpack what happened on that day.

“In reality, this was a bunch of rowdy people walking through a hallway,” D’Souza told Fox News host Laura Ingraham, suggesting that that accounts of that day shared by literally hundreds of elected officials and Capitol security veterans are false and being overplayed to score political points. Yes, he really did say that.

All my rowdy friends just happened to converge on the Capitol on January 6. A remarkable cosmic coincidence, right Dinesh? How was the food in prison, by the way?

Who can believe this traitor? Who can believe Johnson?

The same people who believe Trump's 20 thousand lies, who are the same people who hold a stronger allegiance to Vladimir Putin than to the US Constitution.

It seems he's auditioning for a spot on the schedule, maybe to fill in for the black anti-Semite who was too much of a fascist for even CPAC.

Everything they ever accuse left-wing protesters of doing, these people did, and way worse. Literally breaking Windows. Literally looting. But beyond that, attacking police, and with evidence of planned murders and trying to subvert democracy.

Right-wingers never condemn their own no matter how blatant and egregious the violation.

Don't trust your lying eyes and ears. Trump even expressed the same early on:

Don't trust what you read and see. Trust only me.

The populist/strongman message is the same everywhere: I am the purveyor of the ultimate truth in all things.

Garbage in, garbage out.
