Democrat Insurrection Gains Steam
Democrats mourn ‘insurrection’ on January 6, engage in insurrection on January 7.

The ability of the Democrat Machine to rewrite its code at a moment’s notice is terrifying. What it supported yesterday, it will denounce tomorrow when politically expedient. Right now we’re seeing a perfect example in the way prominent Democrats are reacting to federal agents enforcing immigration law.
On January 6, congressional Democrats choreographed an almost religious ritual (including a candlelit ceremony) during which they framed the D.C. protest of election fraud five years ago as an “insurrection” that resulted in the “murder” of police officers (reminder: only Trump supporters were killed in or near the Capitol on January 6, 2021). On January 7, those same Democrats called an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent a “murderer” for defending his life from a deranged attacker using an automobile as a lethal weapon. On the 6th, Democrats proclaimed themselves the “guardians” of law enforcement officers everywhere and accused Trump supporters of being “terrorists.” On the 7th, Democrats proclaimed law enforcement officers “terrorists” and defended a domestic terrorist as a “guardian” of “undocumented” (read: illegal) immigrants.
Politicians aren’t known for faithfully adhering to guiding principles, but Democrats change principles quickly enough to give an average observer political whiplash.
On January 7, Nancy Pelosi wrote, “The killing of an unarmed woman by a masked federal agent in Minneapolis is a moral outrage and a betrayal of American values. There has been no justification offered — only deception and deflection from those in charge. Accountability for this killing is not optional.” This is the same Nancy Pelosi who has spent the last five years defending U.S. Capitol Police Captain Michael Byrd after he shot and killed unarmed J6 protester Ashli Babbitt without any prior warning. If pictures from the time are accurate, Byrd was even wearing a COVID mask when he took Air Force veteran Babbitt’s life.
The juxtaposition of the two incidents is jarring. Pelosi has spent the last five years applauding Byrd as a hero, condemning unarmed Babbitt as an “insurrectionist,” and claiming that Trump supporters hate police. Now she condemns a federal agent’s heroic actions as an “outrage,” defends a woman armed with a vehicle as being “unarmed,” and accuses federal law enforcement of “betrayal,” “deception,” and “deflection.” In both cases the federal agent wore a mask, but Pelosi makes the ICE agent’s use of a mask sound nefarious.
