10,000 Soldiers

Who was responsible for the January 6 Capitol Riot?

Some Fox News commentators laid blame at the feet of Antifa agitators and undercover FBI agents. Other “fair and balanced” on-air personalities claimed that the trashing of our seat of government was “legitimate political discourse” or “typical Capitol tour group behavior”. Foolish me. All those banners with his name on them and the admonition by The Man Himself to “Fight Like Hell” led me believe that Donald J. Trump had something to do with it.

But I was wrong. In an interview last Sunday, Donnie claimed that Nancy Pelosi “is responsible for Jan. 6. Nancy Pelosi was in charge of security. She turned down 10,000 soldiers. If she didn’t turn down the soldiers, you wouldn’t have had Jan. 6. I behaved so well, I did such a good job, Nancy Pelosi turned down 10,000 soldiers … if she didn’t do that …”

Why has it taken two and a half years for Nancy’s devious plot to come to light? Donnie has the inside scoop. “I understand that the police testified against her, the Chief very strongly against her, the Capitol police, great people. They testified against her, and they burned all the evidence. OK? They burned all the evidence. They destroyed all the evidence about Nancy Pelosi.”

Or maybe that evidence wasn’t burned at all and is sitting in a box of classified documents somewhere in Mar-a-Lago.

Remarkably, one third of the American public believes everything that Donnie says. A poll conducted today would show that a majority of Republicans now believe that Nancy Pelosi was somehow behind Jan 6. Nancy somehow cleverly plotted her own assassination. The IQ of a mob is equal to that of the dumbest person in that mob divided by the number of people involved. Mobs do stupid things that the individuals in it would not. Had those Jan 6 “patriots” caught up to Nancy Pelosi that day, they might very well have killed her.

I hold to the theory that the Guy With His Name on the Banners had more to do with Jan 6 than the Congresswoman fleeing for her life on that day.
