NOT WHAT I SAW.

Trump Defends Capitol Rioters

“Former President Trump defended some of his supporters who rioted at the U.S. Capitol, saying Thursday that they posed ‘zero threat’ to the lawmakers who had assembled to confirm President Biden’s victory in the November election,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

Trump also complained that law enforcement was now “persecuting” the Capitol rioters, hundreds of whom have been arrested, while “nothing happens” to left-wing protesters.

Said Trump: “Some of them went in and they’re — they’re hugging and kissing the police and the guards. You know, they had great relationships. A lot of the people were waved in, and then they walked in and they walked out.”

I think I missed the moment where the Capitol insurrection went from "led by Antifa and BLM false flag actors" to "harmless patriots loving their country."

I don't know which "virus" was worse for our country? The Corona Virus or the Big Lie Virus?

I tend to think the latter is worse.
