Insurrection is in the Eye of the Beholder

Timothy Birdnow

Well, well, well...Trump's use of the word "insurrection" sure is a sore spot for the looney left at CNN:

CNN Melts Down after Trump Calls L.A. Rioters Insurrectionists

Panelist Stephen Collinson bemoaned:

So where was he when Democrats were calling J6 - a very minor riot smaller and less violent than most that had happened over the prior four years, an insurrectiion? Did he think then this was "Not something to be trifled with?"

"It will be another instance of the way that the White House is trying to declare emergencies or insurrections in order to unlock vast powers which most presidents don’t have access to.” Did he really believe the J6 people were trying to overthow the govenrment of the U.S.?

Strange how it was an insurrection when it was people with whom he disagreed but is just a "protest" when it's something he wants.

Who, pray tell, declared something an insurrection to try to remove the legally elected government of the United States? I seem to remember that as a goal of Nancy Pelosi (who acted on that day very much like Newsom is acting now, refusing to call for help so she could have an incident to use as a political bludgeon).

Seems insurrection is in the eye of the beholder, at least where the media is concerned.
