Poll: Majority of Americans believe Jan. 6 Capitol riot was an attack on democracy

A majority of Americans think that when supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 as lawmakers voted to certify President Biden's election win, it was an attack on democracy, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.

Of the respondents, 55 percent said it was an "attack on democracy that should never be forgotten," while 39 percent said "too much is being made of" the riot and it's "time to move on." Looking at it through a political lens, 84 percent of Democrats surveyed said the riot was an attack on democracy and 74 percent of Republicans said too much is being made of it.

Dozens of law enforcement officers were injured during the violent incident, and one of the rioters was shot and killed by police as she attempted to enter the Speaker's Lobby through a broken door. The House passed a bill to establish a bipartisan independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 riot, but Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is encouraging Republicans to block the legislation.

McTurdhole is hoping everyone will forget about Jan. 6 come the 2022 midterms.

1. I am sick of seeing dozens of officers were injured

It was a dozen dozen officers, over 140 were physically injured and many more suffer from trauma. Words matter. Almost 150 officers were wounded ranging from death to fingers amputated to crushed spines to concussions to broken bones to exposure to chemical agents to eyes gouged (in one case out) it was shit tons more than dozens and the injuries were not minor in nature. People were retired from the department on disability and others are still healing

2. We all saw it on

TV in real time. We are in some deep crap if we don't get these bastards and that orange blob has to get his ass thrown in prison.

It was a clear assault on our democracy.
