Wow…I’m so honored, first post back.

What does Pence got to do with AOC comment?

We already knew that there were concerns about violence before this large group of protestors assembled near the capitol. There was obviously that potential. Among those who were concerned were the now former Chief of Capitol Police who requested NG assistance 6 times before the protests.

Perhaps, as stated in the OP, it might have been a good idea for AOC to pass her information on before the incident instead of dramatically telling us about these unverified posts after the event?

You think a mob that broke into a government building after they killed a police officer and assault dozen others as they were chanting hang the Vice President, would have welcome AOC or any other elected official with open arms.

I’m sorry if I don’t buy the “we were peaceful” line.

anyone with an internet connection could have told you this would happen, this was not the operation valkyrie these idiot openly posted for months about their plans publicly.

The mob never got close to her.

The Left believes women when they are accusing people who aren’t Democrats.

Pelosi was actually one of those praising people damaging State capitol buildings.

And yet the Capital Police did nothing to increase the physical barriers and personnel? Not like there was anything important going on in chambers.

IOW…the violence was staged by the left to purposefully perpetuate their false “insurrection” and then feed their sheople that this actually took place by…white supremacists.

So the capitol police and intelligence agencies either have no excuse for their failure or conspired to let the incursion happen.

Leads me to conclude Trump was not a factor beyond being played as a sore loser by the online anarchists.

Crazy to think they can have it both ways.

We saw the Cap PD stand aside for many of the trespassers.

The broken windows were un-necessary and stupid destruction.

Nobody especially a mob should have gotten near the Capital Building steps. And during a joint session of Congress??
I’m having a difficult time accepting the ineptitude of not only the Chief of the Capital Police and both the Sergeant at Arms of the House and Senate. The “requested” NG assistance and denial because of “optics” is weak. Mayor Bowser can pull that ■■■■ and get away with it, she’s pimping statehood. With DC a state among other benefits she becomes the DCNG Commander and can mobilize them to come pick up her trash if she chooses.
But Federal property? Where was the FBI, DHS and other federal agencies who are part of react and security plans? The MD, VA and I think DE State Police are also part of security and react forces for the District.
They wonder why so many smell the stench of “conspiracy”.

We saw them open the barriers at one point.

Exactly.

Another detail I noticed was when the fallen officer Sicknick was struck with the fire extinguisher…He was the only officer missing a helmet. Very unfortunate accident and circumstance. Doesn’t mean throwing fire extinguishers is OK…It does mean that is was not an act that was reasonable to conclude could seriously injure someone.

I sure hope this gets examined in any impeachment hearing or investigation.

Nobody said anything about that in the thread. Stay on topic.

That’s not what the thread is discussing. AOC said she knew about plans for violence, but we see she just sat on the info. And if she knew that violence was coming from her enemies, that’s all the more reason to speak up. But she did nothing.

The news played the video of them pulling part of the barrier aside at one point.

That’s where i saw it.

Thus, the narrative that Trump ordered them to riot that day is a lie.

They can’t have it both ways but predictably enough are trying to of course. :roll_eyes:
