Some Georgia Republicans planned to spend the anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol praying — not just for those killed or hurt during the Jan. 6 riot, but for the “‘J6’ Prisoners” and “J6 Patriots” who stormed the building in a futile attempt to keep President Donald Trump in power.

But after bipartisan blowback, the Cobb County GOP on Wednesday canceled what it had been calling a “prayer vigil,” citing “mischaracterization of the event.”

“The intent of the Cobb GOP January 6th Candlelight Prayer Vigil is to acknowledge Americans who lost their lives and to pray for those who have been denied justice,” Chairwoman Salleigh Grubbs wrote in a statement before the event was canceled.

Democratic state Rep. Teri Anulewicz called the plan an “homage to treason.”

2. That's a double win.

1> Their event failed.
2> They give a perfect example of Biden's concerns about the GOP and some of its members stated in his speech today.

3. I bet a person could make a ton of money by collecting funds to build a statue for the J6 Patriots.

If you could beat the Trumps to the trough.

4. Cancelled Citing "Mischarachterization"...

Right. It wasn’t mischaracterized at all: It was correctly perceived as these clowns supporting seditionists. When they finally figured that the game was up and they looked bad, the GOPQ clowns decided to cut bait…

5. Not Sure They Would Have Appreciated Those Prayers

I mean, obviously "pray for those who have been denied justice" means pray that the perps arrested for penny-ante trespassing and such are brought back to court to face charges of sedition and treason, right...?

6. J6 Patriots ...

7. Democrats in power are getting tough

While they still are eloquent, civil, and genuine--they are showing their strength and resolve. This is what will capture the media as Republicans shrink as the light (shone by those who truly love this country, its founding principles, and democracy) brightly shines on their villainy and treason.
