To hear the mainstream media tell the tale, Jan. 6, 2021, was the worst moment in our nation’s history. While there’s no denying that the incursion on the Capitol was an unfortunate event, the media and the Biden administration’s overreaction to it was even worse.
Four years later as Congress gathers to certify another presidential election, the 2021 incident is still fresh on the minds of leftists. The NBC News liveblog about today’s election certification is full of references to four years ago. One of those references is a ridiculous assertion that Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) made “false claims” in a post on X on Monday morning.
Collins, who has a reputation for humorous posts on X, wrote:
On #ThisDayInHistory in 2021, thousands of peaceful grandmothers gathered in Washington, D.C., to take a self-guided, albeit unauthorized, tour of the U.S. Capitol building.
Earlier that day, President Trump held a rally, where supporters walked to the Capitol to peacefully protest the certification of the 2020 election. During this time, some individuals entered the Capitol, took photos, and explored the building before leaving.
Since then, hundreds of peaceful protestors have been hunted down, arrested, held in solitary confinement, and treated unjustly. Countless hours and taxpayer dollars have been spent pursuing innocent grandmothers and raiding President Trump’s home, while terrorists and millions of illegal immigrants continue to cross our nation’s borders, causing havoc in our communities.
Thankfully, President Trump has announced that, on day one of his presidency, he will grant pardons to nonviolent defendants.
Full disclosure: Collins is my congressman, and I think the world of him. I also enjoy his sense of humor on social media.
