are 'harassing peaceful patriots'

During a congressional hearing Wednesday, Republican and Democratic lawmakers offered up conflicting views over what occured on January 6, when a pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol and clashed with police, forcing lawmakers to evacuate.

Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona painted the people who participated in the riot as victims, referring to them as "peaceful patriots" who are being harassed by the government, and said Ashli Babbitt, the woman who was killed by Capitol police during the attack, was "executed."

The House Oversight Committee hearing included testimony about that day from former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, former acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and Metropolitan Police Department Chief Robert Contee.

"Outright propaganda and lies are being used to unleash the national security state against law-abiding US citizens, especially Trump voters," Gosar said.

The Stupid is strong with this one.

[soothsayer]

1. That idiot can go to hell

[Doc Sportello]

2. The patriot was the officer who shot her

He stopped the mob.

[kirkuchiyo]

7. To bad he stopped at one. nt

[jmowreader]

18. It's a good thing he stopped at one

If the Capitol Police would have shot more than a few of these assholes, Trump would have invoked the Insurrection Act and turned this country into a dictatorship - which seems to have been his goal with the insurrection.

3. They have gone nuts, I mean really nuts

A violent mob had just smashed their way into the Capitol Building, injuring more than a hundred cops on the way. At the time Babbitt was shot, the mob was just a few yards away from members of Congress who were trying to evacuate. The guy that shot Babbitt conceivably saved the lives of dozens of members of Congress, because he prevented the mob from breaking down that final door and gave them time to escape.

Gosar is off his fucking rocker.

22. And he's my representative........🤬

[magicarpet]

4. Well,... at least Gosar's family likes him....

OH NO WAIT,... His family thinks he is a fucking Nazi too.

[madaboutharry]

16. His siblings made a campaign commercial denouncing him.

They think he is a lunatic.

[dawg day]

5. I wonder how the police who have to protect him..

Feel about this.

[LenaBaby61]

12. I wonder how the police who have to protect him..

The ones who are murderers like Chauvin give no fucks, because since the 1960's, they've had Qualified Immunity, and most can quite easily get away with MURDER, unless US citizens continue carrying cell phones around with cameras so they can record the murders/executions of unarmed black, brown and yes even some white males while in police custody.

[dawg day]

19. I meant the Capitol police who are literally right there.

Just wondering if any are tempted to trip him as he stalks down the hallway.

[moondust]

6. Disgrace to dentistry.

Gosar claims to be a dentist. Surely his license has been revoked by now. Lord knows what he might do if he ever got into somebody's mouth.

[Crunchy Frog]

14. I can't post a picture from my phone, but think "Marathon Man".

[crud]

8. when someone is killed

because of what this traitor is saying he will be happy.

[Thomas Hurt]

9. That is totalitarian strength projection there, you lying psycho.

[zaj]

10. Evil, not just stupid.

[JohnSJ]

11. I really wished one of the Democrats at that hearing on Wednesday would have called him out on his

lies

[Crunchy Frog]

13. It's not stupid, it's calculated.

He and others are advancing a narrative and furthering the scope of the Big Lie.

It's the Hitler/Goebbels playbook.

[Biophilic]

15. Well, I got chastised earlier today for exclaiming, in frustration, 'what is wrong with these people

I don't think they are stupid. So I guess my only reasonable response now is 'How evil will these people go?' I've resisted using the world 'evil' because part of me simply doesn't want to believe that a large portion of my fellow countrymen/women are evil. I don't really even want to believe in evil, but I'm getting there much too quickly. They simply are evil. I guess evil does really exist. And that makes me sad.

[gratuitous]

17. Rep. Gosar: Have you checked with Ethan Nordean lately?

Young Ethan appears to have backslidden from the One True Faith.

[Johonny]

20. I'd believe the rioters were peaceful if he and his fellow members hadn't run for their lives

but they did because they were there to fucking kill him.

[ibegurpard]

21. Just like with George Floyd

We all watched the video.
She was in the process of breaking through a barricaded door.

[demtenjeep]

23. even his own family hates him

they agree he is nuts
