Remember the time when Republicans combated terrorism - why do they now take part in it?

People are still trying to play the smoke & mirrors game concerning Trump supporters who smashed into Capitol Hill - with a word which really should be mentioned - 'terrorism' being shyly used (if at all) by the media who had supported him for the last four years - or throwing in ultra-left wing gangs to throw off the scent.

    Because they started losing elections. They’d rather do anything other than appeal to voters. They’ll suppress voters, they’ll embrace terrorism and terrorists, but they’ll never join the 21st century.

    Donald J Trump is the leader of the kind of law-breaking mob he has spent his time in office training his base to desperately fear; 'white supremacist terrorism' is what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

    Underestimating danger leads to unpleasant consequences - as we will find out.

    They do not take part in it - it has just been called terrorism by Leftists.  You cannot be involved in terrorism when you trespass on the Capitol and you are unarmed.  That is called rioting or destruction of property.

    FYI Ex President Trump was a victim of Domestic Terrorism by the FBI, DOJ etc. while he served as a candidate and President and possibly during the last election where many think it was stolen from him.
