Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is telling his supporters to stop blaming left-wing activists for the attack on the U.S. Capitol. Patrick, one of President Donald Trump’s most important allies in Texas, told supporters in a lengthy message over the weekend that the people involved in storming the Capitol were Trump supporters. Some in the conservative world have tried to claim it was left-wing activists who were parading at Trump supporters. “There are no excuses for those who stormed the Capitol on Wednesday,” Patrick said. “Five people died. And, sadly, it appears that most of the protesters inside the Capitol were Trump supporters.”

Or, gee, Dan, you can shut the you-know-what up until all the facts actually come out instead of jumping on the condemnation and blame bandwagon like all the idiot lie-berals out there.
I am so completely done with the Republi-can't Party!!!!! Maybe 1% of all Republi-can't politicians still have a spine or pair of cajones (and many of them are women these days).

That guy that broke out the windows, the guy that handed him some unusual type of helmet to do it, and the guy filming it all---those did not look, or act like Trump protestors. There are plenty of pictures of them. The one that broke the windows I think has been identified as Antifa. Why haven't we been told about those 3 guys? Those windows were very hard to break, and that was very violent. I saw the guy working on breaking the windows for several minutes, while Capitol police stood behind and did nothing. Why were the police just standing there watching? We do not know all the facts, because that information is being kept from us.

I'm tempted to use profanity toward this ignorant traitor.
I wonder if Dan Patrick is a Pinball Wizard.. .. I'm thinking that he is Deaf, Dumb and Blind to say this.

I heard a lot of first person accounts where BLM types certainly WERE there. Was Patrick?
Man do we have anyone fighting back?

Some "riot". No fires, graffiti. or destroyed statues. People following designated walkways for the most part and a very tiny fraction of the rally involved in anything illegal. The MSM is corrupt. The only way left to find out what is going on is to scour the internet. Well at least till they destroy that too.

The biggest culprit is the mob mentality, easily manipulated by anarchist agitators.
It's not a matter of numbers. I can't imagine what Patrick hopes to accomplish with his blather.

#11, that's why for decades, it's been known as the Houston Comical.

Oh yes we forgot to blame BLM and other rent a mobsters for the fake Trump supporters rioting. After a Trump rally people usually have picnics live bands and pastors giving a message followed by prayers. Sorry to disappoint you.

This is why the Republican party is done. Make 75,000,000 voters furious, make them realize their votes don’t count or matter, and most of them won’t be back. Enough that, unless Pres Trump starts a new party, the United States is officially a one-political party nation.

I came to a corner of a balcony with a bottle neck of patriots and heard yells of disapproval "they're trying to break in". I turned back without seeing what entrance it was since i figured that was no place to be. I saw a video of two clearly antifa guys trying to break the glass which was stopped by patriots as the crowd was chearing f**$ antifa. I believe that this was the incident i turned from. I noted antifa like people spaced along the perimeter with bullhorns inciting riot. Patriots ignored them. I noted antifa like people scaling a wall for a photo op. Patriots were yelling from the balcony down " dont get hurt climbing the walls go over to the stairs" i strolled 50 feet away and up the stairs lined with officers that didnt even seem like they were on alert (no head protection, facing away from the crowd, no rubber necking, calm expressions) i gave them thumbs up as i walked by. I never received a single message from authorities to no be where i was and never crossed a barrier. I was in awe of our beautiful capital and especially felt the love of the people there. I saw no damage or violence. The patriots respected the property, statues, and the police. I have anxiety and the only thing that triggered it was the guy with horns on a bullhorn inciting riot or i guess in this case it is insurrection with nancy pelosis statement to drag people out by their hair. I am still traumatized by the abusive gaslighting that started the minute i got back to my room and started looking at the media and politicians. My pictures look much different than the ones in the news. Framing and captions are everything. No one kneeled for the star spangled banner.

Gee, MOST of the people who protested were Trump supporters?
Ya think?
How young is this guy to never have heard about "outside instigators?"
It only takes a very few.

Well Dan, you are close to the truth but no cigar. Most of the people on the Capitol grounds were Trump supporters but, and this is a big but, most of the people inside the building who were breaking things are BLM / pantifa thugs. In the future Dan please keep in mind one of the left's most treasured sayings: never let a good crisis go to waste.

We watched the protest via different video-feeds (not tv) and it was clear the damage that was done was by people that stood out from the rest. black jackets with hoods, knee-pads etc. They were breaking the windows and there were Trump supporters fighting them off.
What I watched is not hard to find. So are people not seeing the truth or are they part of the problem?
btw: right side broadcasting network carried it
