Taking selfies in the Capitol is not a crime. Breaking in and doing so is. I think you know this, because you can’t give any reason why what he did was ok without using the words BLM/riots/race. Both can be wrong, and one going unpunished doesn’t mean the other should as well. The BLM riots don’t give the rest of the country carte blanche to do whatever they want for the rest of time just because those rioters didn’t get what they deserved.

Sure I can. All he did was walk around the Capitol. In fact, a large majority of the "insurrectionists" were ushered in by Capitol Police. No one who was waved in by police and just walked around the building did anything wrong on Jan 6.

This is wrong. If we are not afforded equal protection under the law, our system fails.

Did this person "break in," or was he part of the large contingent that was waved in by Capitol Police?

Agreed...but until the first gets punished I have zero interest in seeing these guys punished. the thing about claiming "whataboutism" is that it's basically just a way to get away with a thing while punishing others for the same thing. Were it not for the riots which took place most of the summer and fall of 2020, no one would be able to point to them as examples of why what took place on January 6th as minor in comparison.

It kind of did though...unless you're expecting two sets of rules.

You lack perspective. Jan 6th was equivalent to the Kavanaugh protests. The charges are not.

Did he?

Are you certain of this?

I mean, isn’t there video of the Capitol police opening the doors?

Unless you can provide proof, then I am just going to assume that you are full of shite.

It absolutely does. Ever hear of equal protection?

Video of Capitol Police opening the doors to the rotunda and moving out of the way would say it was okay. He didn’t break in if he was let in by law enforcement.

You're the kind of a-hole I hope gets to experience firsthand either the tyranny of these authoritarians or maybe you and your family experience the Democrat's foot soldiers, AKA BLM or Antifa in your neighborhood and home.
