  1. Claiming it was innocent is absurd, especially when the entire world watched the chaos and violence unfold on live TV. "Last night, a man stole my Prada purse at gunpoint. After it happened, I told him, "I'm calling the police mister." He responded "Mrs. Bowers, please don't. That won't promote unity and healing. And we need to come together after that horrific robbery we both just experienced." I'm kidding.That wasn't someone who robbed me. It was the Republicans who aided and abetted Donald Trump’s domestic terrorists who swarmed the Capitol in hopes of overturning our democracy. Instead, they just posed for selfies in silly costumes while criming. Yeah, they're that stupid. Oh, and they also ki//ed some people. Yes, the same folks who are all about "Blue Lives Matter" and "Respect the Flag" disrespected the flag to end a blue life. It's almost as if they don't REALLY believe any of the things they say. Which is why I side-eye any calls for bipartisanship from them now. "Oops, our attempt at a bloody, treasonous insurrection failed. So let's just forget the whole thing. Bygones and hold hands." While they regroup on their latest app for white supremacists. Remember after 9/11, when everyone was all, "Let's not go after Bin Laden for that lapse into terrorism. If you do, he'll just do more terrorism. Instead, let's just send him a Gwyneth Paltrow vageen candle, and work with him towards unity and healing?" Yeah, I don't either. But the insurrection at the Capitol never would have happened without 2 things: 1 Donald - and the rest of the Republicans'- lies about the election. 2, something not getting nearly as much attention: Christian nationalists. The riot was full of them. But then again, so is any gathering of white supremacists. There were Dominionist prayers before, during, and after the Capitol's windows were smashed. The mob was invoking their "Thou Shall Not Ki//" mascot, while they were ki//ing. So what is it now? "Render unto Caesar - a Molotov cocktail!!" Or " Onward Christian domestic terrorists?" Frankly, I blame in part the gimmick called "Religious Freedom." It has taught us that the laws that apply to so-called "everyone" don't apply to conservative Christians. That makes us....oh, what is the word? LAWLESS. Because when I hear the "Well, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley didn't actually storm the Capitol" defense, I'm reminded of how popular the "Well, Bin Laden didn't actually fly the planes" defense was after 9/11. You know, cause Charles Manson never actually ki//ed anyone either. Criming is so much more tidy when you get others to do it for you. Because pretending to care about pretend election fraud, to overturn a REAL election, is inciting REAL sedition. And when the Christian Nationalists you inspire namedrop you while they're committing domestic terrorism -- congratulations!! You know your reckless encouragement worked." --Mrs. Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian

  2. "The president bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by MobRioters," 'He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding." "Some say the riots were caused by antifa," There's absolutely no evidence of that, and conservatives should be the first to say so." "These facts require immediate action from President Trump — accept his share of responsibility, quell the brewing unrest and ensure that President-Elect Biden is able to successfully begin his term." “Let's be clear, Joe Biden will be sworn in as president of the United States in one week because he won the election." -- Kevin McCarthy January 13, 2021 "January 6th was a disgrace. American citizensAttacked their own government. They used T€RRorism to try to stop a specific piece of democratic business they did not like."                             “Fellow Americans beatAnd BL00.d.i.e.d our own police. They stormed the Senate floor. They built a gallows and chanted about mvrdering TheVP." "The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their President. “They did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth — because he was angry he’d lost an election. AMob was assaulting the Capitol in his name. These criminals were carrying his banners, hanging his flags, and screaming their loyalty to him. "There is no question that PresidentTrump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day." --Mitch McConnell, February 13, 2021.
