Funny how Tapper just happened to have those clips ready to run, isn't it?
FTA:
Tapper then responded by playing a clip from the Capitol riot, during which over 100 law enforcement officers were injured, questioning if they would have been justified in using deadly force. Tapper also noted President Donald Trump issued a blanket 2025. A Capitol Police officer shot and killed one of those who stormed the building.
The fact is had any of those officers been in any real danger on J6 they would have been justified using lethal force and Tapper knows it too. The fact is none were in real danger. Yes, there was scuffling with the police but no weapons. A car is a quarter ton weapon of death in the wrong hands.

Tim, I see you frequently refer to a car as a "quarter ton," but I'll bet the only car on the road these days that weighs a quarter of a ton is a Smart Four-Two. That's 500 pounds. I'm pretty sure my little Chevy Cruze weighs at least twice that.

I know Dana; I'm just using quarter ton because, well, most liberals drive quarter ton vehicles to show how environmentally friendly they are. I say quarte ton of death because I'm using the floor of the weight class (in fact even they are heavier than that.)
