Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, May 05, 2024

ABC News host Jonathan Karl called out Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) after he suggested Jan. 6 rioters "just wandered into the Capitol." During a Sunday interview on ABC's This Week, Karl confronted Cotton with a statement he made following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. It's past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence," Cotton said at the time. "More than three years later, Trump has still not accepted the results," Karl noted. "He is still misleading the American people." Cotton falsely claimed Trump had accepted the election results "that very day." "He still hasn't accepted the results of the election," Karl pointed out. "He's also calling the people that attacked the Capitol hostages. And he's suggesting that he would, may pardon all of them. I mean, I assume you don't agree with that." "He said that he would consider pardons, and some of them probably..." Cotton said.

"And he called them hostages," the ABC host interrupted. "So you agree these are hostages?"

"Some of them have been held in pre-trial detention longer than the sentences for the crimes with which they are charged," Cotton remarked. "For people who just wandered into the Capitol, they thought it was open or was on the grounds."

... Some of them have been held in pre-trial detention longer than the sentences for the crimes with which they are charged," Cotton remarked. "For people who just wandered into the Capitol, they thought it was open or was on the grounds." ...

So... after breaking through the police barricades, and possibly assaulting police officers in the process, Sen Cotton says that there people had thought that it was OK to progress?

I am not buying what he is trying to sell.

He looks much like the telemarketer who called me up this afternoon and asked my for my bank account info so that they could deposit the $2.75 million into my account that was left to be by some person.


I ain't buying what is being sold.

Tommy and the rest of the limp noodles in the GQP are doing pretzel twists to sell J6 as nothing bad or planned so they can continue to toss their support behind the insurrectionist who is trying as hard as he can to say he is immune from his crimes.

It is only logical to downplay an attack on our democracy that results in deaths of law enforcement officers in order to support the head of the cabal for the office of president.

Don't all tourists enter the Capital through smashed out windows?
