We Haven’t Really Done The Reckoning: Freshman Dem Says It’s Time For A Truth Commission

But our rights aren’t under attack. Nah. The constitution is rock solid...yeah. This is a sitting member of Congress. And they throw hissy fits because one GOP lady believes crazy stuff & another likes guns too much. But this fricking lunatic is calling for state sponsored commissions telling us how to think.

Democratic California Rep. Sara Jacobs told CNN’s Brian Stelter that she felt it was time for a “truth commission” to root out extremism in the United States.
Jacobs made a Sunday appearance on “Reliable Sources” to talk about the next steps after former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial ended in acquittal.
Stelter asked the freshman congresswoman about an interview she had done earlier in the week calling for a “truth commission,” saying, “What exactly would a truth commission be?”
“Because we haven’t really done the reckoning with the racial injustice and white supremacy of our past that we need to do,” Jacobs began, noting that truth commissions had been used in countries around the world.
“Basically what it is is it’s communities all the way up to the national level having conversations about both the gory and the glory of our history and what happened both throughout the history of our country and leading up to and on January 6th so that we can come to a common narrative, moving forward, of what we want our country to be,” she said.
“Do you think the House and Senate leadership have the stomach for that?” Stelter pressed.
“I think so. Look, we all were victims of this attack in addition to being the lawmakers of this country,” Jacobs replied, saying that many in Congress had seen threats to their families as well as to themselves.
“So I think there are a lot of us who know that this impeachment trial was just the start of holding Donald Trump accountable,” Jacobs concluded, adding that the next steps had to be about holding anyone else accountable who had encouraged the violence.

Extremism is what the First Amendment was designed to protect. Mainstream views, while also protected, seldom need it.

DNC be like: “Wait a minute.... simmer down buddy, we definitely don’t want that”

What is unbelievable besides representatives believing this, the media is complacent in not even questioning and challenging these jackals.

We have a man and his nurse living rent free in our White House who has no idea why he’s there. He is given daily instructions what to say and do.
This is frightening.

Remember when Rep. Sara Jacobs demanded a commission to hold accountable those responsible for the months and months of violence, rioting, destruction and looting across the country last year?
No???
Hmmmm, me either.

A war and a multi trillion dollar half a century welfare program and massive government backed loans and laws benefiting minority owned businesses and students and colleges wasn’t a reckoning?
Can anyone point me towards where white supremacy is a problem in America in 2021?
If you watch the news you’d think KKK members were part of daily life for everyone everywhere.

Only AOC has called for the same and even called for “lists” of people on Twitter.

This is the most frightening part, IMO:
A “common” narrative. Dystopian.

That was not a direct presence against them. It is now of great importance because who the protesting was directed toward. They don't like being in it.
She wants you to have someone tell you the 'truth' you must follow.

You noticed that too?
To them, January 6 is on the same level as events like 9/11, Civil War & slavery. Maybe I shouldn’t lump 9/11 in there as it was a foreign attack, but you get the point.
