Ivanka Trump calls rioters "patriots," then deletes tweet
From CNN's Kate Bennet

While retweeting her father, President Trump’s tweet, Ivanka Trump addressed the rioters as "American Patriots."


She added, "the violence must stop immediately. Please be peaceful."

Minutes later, after push back on Twitter for calling the rioters "patriots," she deleted the tweet.

Still calling for peace, but not for leaving the building.

Rep. Bacon (R-NE 2nd) called out the president for his failure to lead in a variety of ways.

Woman shot in the chest outside Capitol building...critical condition.
...reportedly.
If only she'd stayed home.


Why do you always blame the victim.


If only the President told folks to stand down.

Inside the building, protesters were chasing security guards
along corridors, fire extinguishers in hand and being 'fired', the guards seen running backwards to escape.
IF she was such a protester, a guard was cornered, felt his life was in danger and fired his gun...whose fault would it be if she was shot?

She could've been a peaceful protester.
If only she'd stayed home...she'd still be happy and healthy when she wakes up tomorrow.

Quote
Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher, a veteran and supporter of President Trump, said pro-Trump rioters storming the Capitol is “insane.”

“I’ve not seen anything like this since I deployed to Iraq in 2007 and 2008,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper.

“The President needs to call it off … Call it off. It’s over. The election’s over. And the objectors need to stop meddling with the primal forces of our democracy here,” Gallagher said.

Gallagher is not in the Capitol but is “hunkered down” in his office, he said.

Now THIS is a riot.



What y’all saw this summer was nothing!

They were violent riots...people died.

"what's happening today is nothing like the riots  we saw in 2020" - No 1 radio host replacement.

"dead people voted. tens of thousands of crooked votes"...let's hope that is changed,...it happens all over the world" - radio host.

"the states all have their own ways of doing things (federal election)...there should be one system, universal"- radio host.

Go fuck yourself, you insignificant piece of Emu shit.

That's what's being broadcast nationally downunder...in good faith I believe.

And the state by state system is mandated by the Constitution.

Barbara, an advisor in the Carter administration, was just interviewed by my radio host.
She is horrified by what's happening in Washington today.
She said the mayor of Washington would not allow massive security to be put in place, only on standby.
Standby was a dismal failure.
Now, they're bringing in the national guard.
Too late, mate.

Don took to a mic and, rather than stepping up, sank deeper into his diaper. Big double down on the I.

No one has bothered to explain to him what insurrection means yet, I’ll wager. They’re still just hoping the tantrum one day subsides.

This is a purely republican debacle with severe repercussions to follow. Thanks again, GOP, home of the Klan and the Bund.

So let’s hear about Antifa and BLM and all the rioting, looting and burning.

And Biden never criticizing it

This claim is unsubstantiated by facts.

NBC has called the Ossoff race.

So has Fox.

Lawmakers say they will finish the business of certifying tonight.

They do not have to assemble in the Capitol building to do so.
