Vox Writer Reveals Own Hypocrisy on Leftist Riots vs Capitol Hill Riot

Here is the law and order crackdown article by Lopez on Wednesday which proclaimed “Every person who forced their way into the Capitol should be arrested:”

If America wants to prevent another event like Wednesday’s storming of the Capitol in Washington, DC, officials should make all efforts possible to arrest and prosecute every single person involved in the violent protests — events that some branded as an attempted coup by President Donald Trump and his supporters.

Contrast that with the German Lopez of September 22, 2016 who was oh so tolerant of leftist rioting as you can see in his title, “Riots are destructive, dangerous, and scary — but can lead to serious social reforms:”

Riots are the culmination of these underlying issues. They might be catalyzed by one particular cause — such as a police shooting — but they’re also the result of long-held angers — broader police abuse, residential segregation, economic inequality, and racial tensions, generally, in America.

What’s more, riots can lead to serious attention and change.

…But riots don’t just lead to more attention — other urban upheavals in the 1960s and 1990s led to real reforms in local police departments and governments, and the Justice Department is now pushing the Baltimore Police Department into reform following its investigation.

10 Times Democrats Urged Violence Against Trump And His Supporters

While Democratic politicians and the corporate media blamed President Donald Trump for the mob riot at the Capitol on Wednesday, saying his rhetoric incited violence, many of these same lawmakers and bureaucrats have for years called for violence and physical action against those who believe differently than they do.

“Hate to break it to you but if Trump had won, there would have been violence on Wednesday, and it most certainly would have been worse. How do I know? Because Democrats have been endorsing violence as a political tactic throughout the Trump Administration,” wrote Grabien founder Tom Elliott on Twitter.

AOC’s Comms Director Asks Twitter To Ban Users From Citing AOC’s Support For Violent Riots

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s communications director asked Twitter to bar users from sharing one of the New York congresswoman’s previous tweets in support of protests that make people “uncomfortable,” saying it was being used as “misinfo.”

“@AOC’s Comms Director here. Right-wing accounts are taking the last tweet from this old thread on the ‘defund’ mvmnt & twisting it to imply AOC supports violence like what’s happening at the Capitol. We asked @Twitter to stop the misinfo, but as we wait, you can help with a RT,” she wrote on Twitter.

GOP attacks Democrats for allowing Moore to vote after positive COVID test

House Republicans are attacking Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats after Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) tested positive for COVID-19 but arrived at the Capitol on Sunday in order to cast her vote for Speaker.

“Pelosi is putting the public’s health at risk to keep herself in power,” tweeted conservative Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.).

“Looks like @SpeakerPelosi’s proxy voting and remote hearing measures are only essential when her leadership position isn’t on the line,” Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) added in a separate tweet.

Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said it was “wrong” for Democrats to allow Moore to vote Sunday so soon after her diagnosis.

Because of Democrats’ narrow margins, Pelosi can only afford a handful of defections from Democratic rank-and-file members to retain the Speaker’s gavel another two years. That explains why she may have needed Moore, a Pelosi ally, to fly to Washington to cast her vote.

‘Super Spreader’ Speakership Election: Nancy Pelosi Allows Democrats to Break Quarantine to Help Secure Another Term

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is turning the House of Representatives into a potential coronavirus hotspot, allowing Democrats to break quarantine to vote in the speakership election as she faces a tough battle for another term atop the chamber.

At least three members, according to congressional reporter John Bresnahan, are breaking quarantine to attend swearing-in ceremonies and the all-important speakership election Sunday. Two of them are Democrats, he revealed, and one is a Republican. In addition to those three comes Rep. Gwen Moore (D-FL), attending the vote to back Pelosi after testing positive for the deadly virus just six days ago.

Remember When The Democrats Challenged The Electoral Vote Count In 3 Elections Over 20 Years?

We inaugurated three GOP presidents, and Democrats challenged their electoral vote each time.  

Yes, three for two, or three times for the last two GOP presidents sworn in.

The Democrats are back from the other side of the field. 

 They are appalled that GOP House members or a U.S. Senator is questioning the 2020 results.  

Check out Senator Van Hollen:

Sen. Hawley’s actions are grossly irresponsible.

He’s attempting to undermine our democratic process, fuel Trump’s lies about voter fraud, and delay the certification of Biden’s win.  

In the end, this reckless stunt will fail, and Joe Biden will become President on Jan. 20, 2021.

Okay, so why is Senator Van Hollen so concerned?  

Let Senator Hawley make his case, along with others in the U.S. House.  The case will either stand on its own merit or collapse immediately.

For two months, the Democrats have been saying this election is over and should not be challenged at all.

  • First, elections can be challenged, which is why the U.S. Constitution calls on the U.S. Congress to confirm the results.  Democrats should know this because they’ve challenged three elections in twenty years.
  • Second, what’s wrong with hearing about vote fraud or whatever?  Seventy-five million people would like to hear about it even if it does not change the outcome.

So let the process move forward.  Nothing bad will happen.
