"SNIP....

While speaking Thursday about the mob of Trump supporters who sacked the Capitol, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) drew a comparison between the security failures on Jan. 6 and the Capitol Police response to people who protested Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote. 

After saying that responsibility for Capitol security lapses lay with Democrats — rather than, you know, the guy that told his supporters to march on Congress — McCarthy unleashed a false equivalency for the ages. 

“Yes, it does rest with them,” McCarthy said, referring to Democrats. “Jan. 6 should not have happened. Those Capitol Police officers should not have had to go through what they did. This line was broken in the Kavanaugh debates, but no change was taken since then"

You may remember the Kavanaugh protesters: They defecated in the halls of Congress, used bear spray, crutches and tasers on police, called for the death of Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence, sought to catch up with members of Congress as they fled the building, and used radios to communicate with each other and coordinate their attack in an attempt to undermine American democracy and install the outgoing president for a second term. 

Ah, wait, sorry: That was the Capitol attack. They’re just so similar!

5. The trump cult will

keep making shit up, and blaming everyone under the sun of something till they can get one of their lies to work. It will work with the "cult", but not with anyone with half a brain!

I would not be surprised if trump himself is coming up with all the BS finger pointing!

6. What a moron.

8. I don't think they should be bringing up Kavanaugh given what we now know about the sham

investigation.
