On Wednesday, we discovered that House Democrats actually support police. They are against mob violence. They believe in law and order. They believe in harsh punishment for rule breakers. They believe in accountability.<\/p>\n<p>They care deeply about civility. They believe words matter. They abhor intemperate rhetoric. They are against coarse language. Fancy that.<\/p>\n<p>They believe in a peaceful transition of power, at least this time, as opposed to 2016. They believe in the Electoral College. They believe in the legitimacy of the people\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n<p>They believe in walls, at least when it comes to protecting their own place of work. They even believe in bringing in the National Guard to quell civil unrest, at least when it comes to preserving their own peace.<\/p>\n<p>They believe in guns, at least when their own safety is at risk.<\/p>\n<p>They revere American history and institutional norms. They honor the Founding Fathers. Hah!<\/p>\n<p>This is what we learned while watching the Democrats in the House impeach President Trump for the second pointless time in 13 months.<\/p>\n<p>We learned that they, almost to a man and a woman, suffer from an acute case of hypocrite-itis.<\/p>\n<p>Where have they been the past four years with these noble ideas that conservatives have been begging them to defend?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps if Democrats had not normalized and encouraged violence when organized BLM-Antifa mobs began rampaging through our cities, the tragic events of Jan. 6 at the Capitol would not have occurred.<\/p>\n<p>As Republican Rep. Pat Fallon of Texas said Wednesday:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast summer the Antifa and BLM riots swept across our country. Businesses were destroyed, cities burned. It was not like the horrible hours we had on January 6. But rather, they went on for weeks and in some cases months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Democrats have seemingly forgotten how many businesses and communities were burned amid the \u2018peaceful\u2019 George Floyd protests last summer.\" class=\"wp-image-17053917 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/MinneapolisProtests.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/MinneapolisProtests.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/MinneapolisProtests.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/MinneapolisProtests.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/MinneapolisProtests.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Democrats have seemingly forgotten how many businesses and communities were burned amid the \u2018peaceful\u2019 George Floyd protests last summer.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Star Tribune via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cSo if there\u2019s any silver lining in this dark cloud, it\u2019s that our friends across the aisle have come to realize that riots are bad. We conservatives have known this all along.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps if Democrats had not weaponized the intelligence agencies to spy on President Trump\u2019s campaign, perhaps if they had not used the Steele dossier to undermine the legitimacy of his presidency and accuse him of colluding with Russia to rig the 2016 election, perhaps if they had not hobbled his administration with the three-year Mueller investigation, perhaps more Trump voters would have been willing to accept the legitimacy of a Biden presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps if Dems had not already launched a spiteful partisan impeachment last year, their efforts to highlight the president\u2019s shortcomings would have fallen on fewer deaf ears this time.<\/p>\n<p>As Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio said, it took just 19 minutes into Trump\u2019s presidency for The Washington Post to trumpet: \u201cCampaign to impeach President Trump has begun.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd now with just one week left,\u201d said Jordan Wednesday, \u201cthey\u2019re still trying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps if Dems had reflected on their own culpability in the attempted assassination of Republican Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana by a Bernie Sanders supporter, their sanctimonious lectures Wednesday would be more credible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve seen the evil of political violence firsthand and it needs to stop,\u201d Scalise said Wednesday. \u201cBut all of us need to be unequivocal calling it out when we see it, not just when it comes from the other side of the aisle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps if Joe Biden had not spent two years muscling up to Trump, with threats like \u201cI\u2019d smack him in the mouth\u201d and \u201cI\u2019d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him,\u201d Biden\u2019s pitch for civility might be more palatable.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps if Democrats had not spent the last four years calling Trump a dictator, authoritarian, Nazi, Hitler, white supremacist, anti-Semite, bigot, racist, hater, dangerous, demented and insane, then the hyperbole they used against him Wednesday might have been more effective.<\/p>\n<p>The Aesop\u2019s Fable of \u201cThe Boy Who Cried Wolf\u201d comes to mind. Democrats and their <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> handmaidens have spent four years demonizing Trump, using the most outlandish hyperbole their fevered imaginations could dream up.<\/p>\n<p>So when finally, at the bitter end, when he behaves in a way that angers even his most loyal supporters, there is nowhere left to go in the demonization department.<\/p>\n<p>Hence the absurdity of Wednesday\u2019s rhetoric in the House, as Democrats overreached yet again, traducing the president as a \u201cwhite supremacist\u201d \u2014 or \u201cracist in chief,\u201d as Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan called him.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of impeaching the president, the House could have censured him and gathered a lot more Republican votes.<\/p>\n<p>His refrain since November about having won in a \u201clandslide\u201d was reckless and deluded but it had nothing to do with racism, and his speech at the Ellipse in DC on Jan. 6 explicitly called for the crowd to \u201cpeacefully\u201d protest.<\/p>\n<p>How was he to know that the Capitol would not be adequately guarded, and the mob would so easily smash their way inside?<\/p>\n<p>Capitol Police had been left like lambs to the slaughter in part because the cop-hating mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser, wrote to the Department of Justice the day before the protests specifically to reject federal reinforcements.<\/p>\n<p>The flexible morality and selective outrage of the Democrats and their media boosters is so dishonest, it makes your head spin.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_wasnt_BLM_probed_like_this\"><\/span>Why wasn\u2019t BLM probed like this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0At a thunderous press conference Tuesday, acting US Attorney for DC Michael Sherwin said law-enforcement officials are treating last week\u2019s Capitol riot \u201clike an international counterterrorism investigation. We\u2019re looking at everything \u2014 money, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> records. No resource will be unchecked.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is reportedly one of the \u201cmost expansive criminal investigations in the history of the Justice Department,\u201d with all 56 FBI field offices involved.<\/p>\n<p>Great, but where was that kind of gravitas when BLM-Antifa rioters locked Seattle police in a building and tried to burn them alive?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Or when police were attacked with bricks and Molotov cocktails, whole blocks were looted and set ablaze at a cost of billions of dollars, and parts of some US cities were turned into lawless autonomous zones inside which people were murdered? For months.<\/p>\n<p>There now are at least twice as many troops guarding the nation\u2019s capital than the total number of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq combined.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s not overkill, but the optics also serve the purpose of further demonizing President Trump and his supporters to a worldwide audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Nancy Pelosi posed merrily for photos outside the Capitol in front of rows of uniforms yesterday.
