WASHINGTON — Ever since a pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, Republicans have been trying to shift the national conversation away from that dark, violent day and onto what they say are the problems of the Biden administration: a troubled pullout from Afghanistan, an overtaxed southern border and rising inflation.
“Anytime the attention is on Joe Biden it’s good for Republicans, and anytime the attention is on Jan. 6 it’s bad for Republicans,” said John Feehery, a Republican strategist and veteran of Capitol Hill. “The only hope Democrats have of keeping the House is to make Jan. 6 the issue of the campaign. They know that, and we know that. The only people who don’t seem to know that are the activists.
Greene said she condemned the violence that occurred during the riot but said she believed that “illegal aliens are treated better than many of the J6 accused.” But disquiet in the party is real on behalf of the Jan. 6 defendants, particularly those who are charged with nonviolent offenses, Feehery said. He said many Republican voters believed that the Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol would have received lighter treatment if they had been supporting a left-wing cause.
Braynard has argued that the brutal attacks on police officers during the assault were the work of a “few bad apples” and accused the Biden administration of targeting the “peaceful Trump supporters who entered the Capitol with selective prosecutions based on their political beliefs.” Braynard also announced that Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., would attend a future “Justice for J6” rally in Columbia, South Carolina. But Norman’s spokesperson said he would not be attending.
Trump thinks this rally is a setup to make him look bad. 40 years in public eye, 3500 lawsuits, bankrupted businesses, divorces, mob mentality, scam university, scam charity, 30,000 lies in 4 years as president, etc, etc...but this rally is what will make him look bad.
Not because they mounted an attack on the Capitol or anything. They’re just afraid of the fallout.
