Joe Biden to Dems: Vote for Trillions in Spending, or the Capitol Rioters Win

Joel B. Pollak 1 Oct 2021

President Joe Biden has sought to motivate Democrats on Capitol Hill to vote for his multi-trillion-dollar spending bills by warning them that if the bills fail, those who supported the Capitol riot on January 6 will celebrate a political victory.

One bill is a bipartisan $1.2 trillion “infrastructure” bill (most of which is not traditional infrastructure). The other is a $3.5 trillion catch-all spending bill that includes Democrats’ most radical priorities, and which Biden has recently linked to his “Build Back Better” policy agenda. It can only pass the Senate through the so-called “reconciliation” process, which has been abused by recent Democratic administrations to evade the Senate’s filibuster rule.

Biden, who recently appointed an alleged domestic terrorist to his Cabinet with the conformation of Tracy Stone-Manning to lead the Bureau of Land Management on Thursday, referred to the January 6 riot in private meetings with Democrats.

The Associated Press reported:

In his private talks with legislators, Biden has suggested a Democratic defeat on the current bills would be a gift to Republicans, empowering a party that he has judged a threat to democracy itself. Defeat, he has warned, would embolden the same forces who tacitly blessed the origins of the Jan. 6th insurrection and are now balking at helping to lift the national debt ceiling to avoid a government default.

That's a pretty weak argument that only appeals to politicians.

To us it sounds dumb, but to the Ds he's unifying them around their common boogeyman.  While this specific attempt at the tactic might fail, it is generally an effective tactic, particularly when that boogeyman has already been reduced to willfully diseased contagion and untermensch.

I think the title might be a bit misleading.  The "message" to be sent is not about the "Capitol hill rioters," but about the Republican Congressmen and women who had the audacity to challenge an Electoral College result, something the Democrats did in every election this century that the Republicans won.

I'll confess I didn't read the linked article; perhaps the invoked boogeyman was actually R Reps and Senators.

And of course you're correct, this is the typical D hypocrisy - they've done the same themselves, and far worse, with far less justifying evidence.
