What a crock of ....!
Affirmative action hire.
”Her comments offered the fullest detailed account to date about police preparations on Jan. 6 in which thousands of angry protesters, believing false claims that the election had been stolen, marched on the Capitol at the behest of former President Donald J. Trump.”
“Ms. Pittman said that her department knew Jan. 6 would be unlike previous protests. She said her department knew that militia groups and white supremacists organizations would descend on Washington, D.C.
“We also knew that some of these participants were intending to bring firearms and other weapons to the event,” she said. “We knew that there was a strong potential for violence and that Congress was the target. The Department prepared in order to meet these challenges, but we did not do enough.”
She said the Capitol Police had 1,200 people working on site when the attack occurred, which was “no match” for “the tens of thousands of insurrectionists.””
lies, lies and more lies....
but she said she was "sorry " , that makes it all better ask any politician or elected official in trouble
yep she is sorry alright
Wonder if she's bought a new Mercedes lately..or a Porsche.. hmmmm..
Come on, we ALL know that to some degree, She was told to Stand Down. How could She possibly think 1200 would control that size crowd? (Especially) If She was told "Armed Militias & White Wing Supremacist Organizations," would be attending. They Knew it would not - That was the Plan.
The whole "Break In" was coordinated in order to make the Patriots who attended the Trump "Stop the Steal," Rally attendees look bad.
Insert the ANTIFA agitators that instigated the Break In, Done Deal. To their credit, (with the aid of MSM) it worked really well.
I agree completely.
The gorilla in the room is again ignored. How many people actually entered the capital building?
It's the narrative that is going to work for them when they crack down on any and all protestors and don't worry they will be ready when they outlaw those assaults rifles as we the people come looking for relief from a government that is fair and honest. 😕
Biden is already setting up a committee to study The supreme court situation.
serf
I'm sick to death of reading and hearing "false claims that the election had been stolen"!
The statement itself is false. No one can accurately claim the election WASN'T stolen, because all available evidence indicates it WAS!
It doesn't really matter now.. they are in.. they have the power.. and they will reap the rewards.. looks bad...
That sure is a defeatist point of view. We still can petition the courts, file charges against the criminals, and, we most certainly could have a recall election.
They have no clue what an actual insurrection would look like. Oh wait, the insurrection happened over the past 4 years, this would be a counter insurrection.
Well what can be done??..the supreme court is on their side.. the people who want free stuff outnumber us..and they will just cheat again..I think there is no going back.. it's over.. they won..
