WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE?!”
AND also from Whatcom County
Hello,
The following was my reply to Satpal.
Ever since the terrible event at the Capital on Wednesday the 6th, I have seen and heard almost every politician on both sides, and every media personality, and every media outlet describe the events of that day as an “insurrection”. They are also quick to pile on with the absurd opinion that Trump instigated this riot after repeatedly calling for “law and order” and “following the Constitution”.
I witnessed his speech when he gave it and there was not ONE particle of incitement to riot in any of that presentation.
This, after months of riots, pillaging, raping and murder by self-proclaimed Marxists that was euphemistically referred to in the media and by politicians as “mostly peaceful demonstrations”.
Where were the statements from folks like Pelosi, Schumer, Harris, and Biden calling for a stop to the destruction? In fact, Harris, when asked about the riots, said she thought there was nothing wrong with “frustrated” folks setting society on fire.
When President Trump coined the term “Fake News”, he was being kind.
I call this and what we saw and heard all four years of the Trump administration, “Evil Propaganda”.
Thank you,
I find Mr. Sighu’s statement stupid. BLM and Antifa are terrorist organization that sit on the Left. After the Summer of Love of 2020 I think it’s rather obvious that the dangerous rhetoric, violence, rape, murder and vandalism are products of the Left.
Any demonstrations and rhetoric by the Right were devoid of any of the above.
Is Mr. Sidhu a Citizen of the United States?
Thank you Dave Avis for addressing the nonsense comments of Satpal. As the county exec.this was foolish of him to spout his personal political views that again only caused division. This will be remembered by many come reelection time. Personally I call for him to resign now !
