You wonder why no one can take these leftist fake news outlets seriously--yet many of you do. FFS.
HuffPost reporter S.V. Dáte said the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol is “1000 percent worse” than the September 11, 2001, ********* attacks, which resulted in the death of nearly 3,000 people, repeating the charge touted by many leftists in the weeks following the incident.
Dáte, the senior White House correspondent at HuffPost, originally responded to a detailed thread by the Washington Examiner’s Byron York, who attempted to add some perspective to the left’s desire to compare the two events.
“The 9/11 al Qaeda attacks killed roughly 3,000 people, brought down New York’s tallest skysc****rs, destroyed part of the Pentagon, crashed four passenger jetliners, and changed U.S. foreign policy for decades,” York , explaining that the January 6 riot resulted in the “natural-causes death of one Capitol Police officer, the death of one rioter at the hands of police, the ‘acute amphetamine intoxication’ death of another rioter, and the natural causes deaths of two more.”
“Parts of the Capitol were ransacked, but not seriously enough that Congress could not meet and finish its work on the night of the riot. It was appalling, but nothing like September 11,” York added.
However, Dáte argued the 9/11 *********s “never threatened the heart of the American experiment.”
“The 1/6 *********s and Donald Trump absolutely did exactly that,” he said. “Trump continues that effort today.”
One commenter reminded Dáte that United 93 should have crashed into the U.S. Capitol but did not due to the courageous, sacrificial acts of passengers on the plane.
“You think January 6th was worse than that?” he asked Dáte, who responded, “1000 percent worse”
Earlier this year, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) criticized ********s who made similar comparisons, likening the January 6 riot to 9/11.
“First of all, I don’t like 9/11 being used on anything,” he . “On 9/11, we lost 3,000 people. Three-thousand is horrific. Now, this is a tragedy in itself. But it wasn’t even close to what happened on that day,” he said.
“I think you’re seeing the ********s just kind of throwing that back and say, ‘Listen, this was a 9/11 comparison,'” he said, repeating his stance that this “wasn’t even close.”
Meanwhile--your fearless leaders:
While speaking to , Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke at length about her experience in at the Capitol Building on January 6. She claimed that congresspersons have now effectively "served in war" and that she is "doing therapy" because of her experience on January 6. Ocasio-Cortez claimed the riot was an "all-out attempted coup" and that the United States was on the brink of having a "martial state." She continued, "there are also certain mythologies that are very important to maintaining white supremacy, white supremacy in and of itself is a mythology. And you have to protect it in order to protect that political power, which has now become a very important base in the ********** Party. And that’s why that response was so vociferous, to make it seem that it wasn’t as bad as it was, and it was bad."
After the riot, Ocasio-Cortez was for misrepresenting her whereabouts on January 6. Ocasio-Cortez had previously claimed that rioters had made it to her office door yelling, "where is she?" She further claimed that she thought she was going to die during the riot and that ********** Senators such as Ted Cruz were complicit in the alleged attempt on her life.
However, it was revealed that Ocasio-Cortez was in a different building entirely, as revealed by Congresswoman Nancy Moore, whose office is two doors down from Ocasio Cortez's. As many criticized Ocasio-Cortez's recounting of events as hyperbolic, the Congresswoman discussed her previous trauma from an alleged ***ual assault and argued that those who dismissed her were "using the same tactics as abusers."
Ocasio-Cortez also blamed social media as well for her "increased isolation, depression, anxiety, addiction, escapism," saying, "I actually think that social media poses a public health risk to everybody, there are amplified impacts for young people, particularly children under the age of 3 with screen time. But I think it has a lot of effects on older people. I think it has effects on everybody. Increased isolation, depression, anxiety, addiction, escapism."
Ocasio-Cortez expanded on the impact of the by saying, "The cycle has just been moved on, but it has deeply, deeply affected lawmaking, policymaking, it has impacted the actual legislative process, the aftermath of it, and it’s very quiet, it’s not spoken about," AOC said.
"I think after the 6th, I took some time, and it was really Ayanna Presley, when I explained to her what had happened to me like the day of, because I ran to her office. And she was like, you need to recognize trauma and that this is something that you went through, but we’re all going through."
