Biden's Big Lie

Joe Biden spoke today on Capitol Hill memorializing the events of January 6th.  He spoke of a "violent mob," a "brutal attack" and an "armed insurrection" that nearly overthrew the government of the United States that day.  It was typical Biden demagoguery.

The people who stormed the Capitol had no guns.  The FBI determined there was no planned insurrection.  They had no power to actually prevent the certification of Electoral College votes.  They only delayed it a few hours.  If the Capitol riot was an actual "insurrection" as Biden claims, it was the worst insurrection in history.

But Biden then launched into his own big lie, claiming that Republicans in the states are trying to subvert democracy.  He said:

"Right now, in state after state, new laws are being written — not to protect the vote, but to deny it; not only to suppress the vote, but to subvert it. . . [Republicans] have decided the only way for them to win is to suppress your vote and subvert our elections.  It's wrong.  It's undemocratic.  And frankly, it's un-American."

As usual, Biden is lying, and he knows he is lying. 

What Biden is describing is exactly what Chuck Schumer and Senate liberals are trying to do right now!  They are trying to nationalize all election laws in ways that make cheating easier, in ways that guarantee more power for the left.  As I suggested in Tuesday's report, Schumer and Pelosi are attempting an insurrection with their phony "voting rights" legislation. 

In addition to trying to distract the country from their record of record failures (record crime, record inflation, record illegal immigration, record COVID cases), progressives are exploiting the riot to secure their own power.  And it goes well beyond just one "voting rights" bill.

Historian Victor Davis Hanson notes in a column today that the progressive left is daily undermining the rule of law and attacking all the fundamental pillars of our constitutional Republic – from the filibuster to the Electoral College, from the Supreme Court to the Senate itself. 

They are the real insurrectionists who are "systematically waging an insidious revolution . . . that seeks to dismantle America's institutions and the rule of law."
