Biggest Republican Talking Points To Downplay January 6

Not like Congress was being ransacked all over the country.

The politicians on the right truly believe the highly coordinated effort was just the classic case of 2,500 lone wolves with an agenda.

Republicans want to remind you that these insurrectionists had no intention of harming Mike Pence and were simply looking for a hanger with which to air-dry their wet clothes.

The mob made sure they stormed the Capitol only when destruction was specifically permitted.

Just think of what the Capitol would’ve looked like if so-called rioters dropped a bomb as powerful as a million tons of TNT.

They might actually have a point there.

It’s not like they tried to stop a presidency people were excited about.

Blaming the insurrection on a bunch of 13-year-olds visiting the monuments is a risky move the Republicans are willing to take.

This is a pretty factually sound argument.

This is immediately undermined by the Democrats’ complete inability to orchestrate anything.

Many aren’t even able to stand on their own two feet.

If it’s not on the calendar, it’s impossible to prove.

Even all of the really, really old senators survived.

CGI technology really is incredible.

That neoclassical eyesore has been begging for vandalism for centuries.

Makes a lot of sense when you look at it from their point of view.

Democrats are willfully ignoring the real issue, which is that January has 30 days besides Jan. 6.

Really, we should be grateful they pointed out some vulnerabilities in our system.

In their defense, every building in this dumb city is made out of white stone.

Whoops. Politicians usually just think this one.

Succinct, but 100% to the point.

It’s true, whatever is still to come will certainly be much worse and more worthy of criminal prosecution.

Can’t argue with that!
