Whites FOUR TIMES More Likely Than Black People to Say Capitol Insurrection Getting ‘Too Much Attention’

By Tommy ChristopherMar 20th, 2021, 8:31 am

White people are four times more likely than Black people to say that the January 6 Capitol insurrection is receiving “too much attention” in a poll that reveals stark polarization over the deadly assault by supporters of then-President Donald Trump.

A new poll from the Pew Research Center shows some encouraging unity among Americans over the insurrection on some questions, less on others. For example, 87 percent of respondents say it is important to prosecute the participants, including 79 percent of Republican-leaning voters and 95 percent of Democrats. But drilling down, only 50 percent of Republicans say it’s “very important,” versus 95 percent of Democrats.

And there’s an even sharper divide on the question of whether the insurrection is getting the right amount of attention. From Pew:

While a plurality of Americans (44%) say the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and its impacts have been getting about the right amount of attention overall, there also are significant differences in these views among Republicans and Democrats.
