Are they trying to suggest it's ok the Capitol Riots happened since violence happened at some BLM..

[DSandra]

Protests? Are they trying to set up a false equivalency?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

1. The mother of all false equivalencies.

[MacKasey]

2. I was always taught 2 wrongs doesn't make it right

8. This is Republican Jesus we're talking about here.

He says smack the hell out of 'em. Oh wait, that was Trump.

[earthside]

3. Ho hum.

Expected ... whataboutism and decontextualization.
An appeal to anger and victimization.

The elephant in the room that the Trump lawyers cannot confront and have to talk around, of course, is that Trump was the nominee of the Republican Party and the president (who took an oath to defend the Constitution) with wholly different duties and responsibilities than anyone else in the nation.

[samnsara]

4. yes....but we have been prepared for blm vids ad nauseam to prove their 'point'

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. It's peak whataboutism.

"They did it too, so what are they complaining about?"

Strangely, I never saw Biden-flag-waving BLM protesters invading a government building carrying flexcuffs so they could kidnap or kill elected officials.

[muntrv]

6. Except they arrested BLM protesters after pepper spraying

them.

[HelpImSurrounded]

7. That's exactly what they are saying

They are also saying "we don't see anything"

[BusyBeingBest]

9. Yes--scattered local police brutality protests gone awry versus the POTUS instructing a mob

to enter the Capitol to scare US lawmakers into overturning an election. DON'T U SEE HOW THEY'RE EQUAL??!?!

[elleng]

10. Of course,

'everyone does it.'

NOT watching, after 10 seconds; @ Daily Press Conference now (and watching snow!)

[pandr32]

11. False equivalency is their MO

[The Wielding Truth]

12. Yea, and if other leaders say to fight for civil rights or justice or equality, that's the same as

assembling a mob, wearing riot gear using bear spray, to physically impede in stopping the peaceful change in a democratically elected government by braking into the National's Capital building, killing one Capital policeman maiming 140 more, causing the death of fellow rioters , threatening to kill the members of the party that certifiable won carrying the LOSER'S flag.

Trump is again, not worthy of any governmental office! Well maybe in an authoritarian government, but not here!
