Trump-Backed Lawmaker Wants To Mark Jan. 6th As "Remembrance Day"

A Republican state representative from Michigan is pushing a ridiculous resolution to mark Jan. 6th as “Remembrance Day,” as noted by Newsweek. While the House select committee continues to hold hearings uncovering how deep the plot to overturn the 2020 Presidental election was, State Representative Steve Carra insists there were only a “few rogue and malicious agitators.”

There’s no surprise the resolution contains untrue and debunked conspiracy theories written by Carra. The Trump-endorsed representative also claimed “COVID-19 was a “man-made” virus and according to Newsweek, he said racism was on “life support” until it was “revived by the “Marxist Black Lives Matter movement.”

This line of thinking sounds oddly familiar to Washington Commanders assistant coach Jack Del Rio’s comments where he wondered why people marching against police brutality didn’t get the same scrutiny as Trump supporters storming the Capitol building.

Carra also added in the resolution that schools are being “infiltrated” with the “critical race theory, sexual perversion, and social justice indoctrination.” This is an extension of laws being passed in Republican-led states warping school curriculums not to teach anything about racism or gender.

Are they all from Russia, or do they have special farms here in the U.S where they're hatched, raised, denied human contact, education and shocked with cattle prods 24/7/365?
