Harris's Hysteria

Kamala Harris also spoke at the Capitol this morning.  Her comments immediately went off the rails when she began her remarks by comparing the January 6th riot to Pearl Harbor and 9/11. 

Now, here's some desperately needed context.

On December 7, 1941, the U.S. fleet anchored in Hawaii was attacked by Imperial Japan.  Four battleships were sunk, 188 planes were destroyed and 2,403 Americans were killed that day.  The attack brought America into World War II.

On 9/11, radical jihadists attacked the United States.  The Twin Towers were destroyed, the Pentagon was in flames, a plane crashed in the fields of Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and 2,996 Americans were killed that day.  The atrocity of 9/11 triggered decades of war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The riot inside the Capitol on January 6th was wrong.  It never should have happened. 

But it is unconscionable to compare the events of that day to acts of war that killed more than five thousand Americans.  It is unconscionable to equate the protesters on Capitol Hill with foreign enemies who meant to destroy our country.

This is pure propaganda that would make Joseph Goebbels blush!  The political left and its media allies are taking one unpleasant incident and blowing it up into a casus belli – a cause for war against half the country that opposes their extreme, socialist agenda.
