Representative Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump “did nothing” to stop the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol as we came “perilously close to losing our democracy.”Thompson said, “Let me say that what we have been able to ascertain is that we came perilously close to losing our democracy as we come to learn it. Had those insurrectionists been successful, we are not certain what we would have had, had it not been for the brave men and women who protected the Capitol in spite of being woefully outnumbered.

I guess smoke from the destroyed Lake Street in Minneapolis blinded me to this, Benny.

This commie btard is now demanding enhanced 'intelligence gathering' (euphemism for spying) upon the citizenry to protect him and his congressional ilk. This is the same little bolshie that said that anyone who exerts their fifth amendment rights is guilty.
I don't think the word democracy means what he thinks it does. In his usage, it comes out as 'dictatorship'. We know he doesn't believe in a constitutional republic, even though he swore to uphold it.

Everything is due to "racism" & will cause us to "lose our democracy".
These guys all hang onto their lies & narratives like a bulldog on a bone.
I saw a reference to Joe Rogan's show, & it's true for this site too; it's like the French Resistance in WWII operating a ham radio to get outside news.

For he Capitol Police being "woefully outnumbered" you have only to look at Nasty Pelozi, who had authority and responsibility for their duty levels that day.
As for Trump, he very clearly enjoined upon the protesters to be peaceful. That they ignored his direction hints at the influence of Leftists pretending to be protesters (which analysis of surveillance video later showed to be the case).

Trump did everything he could without violating his Constitutional authority.

‘Perilously Close to Losing Our Democracy’ yea, right. Mandating experimental injections is sooo democratic.
Didn't Puerto Rican Nationalist's shoot up the House Chamber in 1954, hitting five congressmen? Didn't a Bernie fan shoot up the congressional baseball game practice in 2017 hitting four, two critically, and wounding others?
Both of those incidents came closer to an "armed insurrection" that whatever happened on Jan 6th.
We are NOT a "democracy." We are a "Representative Republic." They are the ones h#ll bent on federalizing the elections, changing election laws and remove the citizens ability at the local level to choose representative's that will take their voice to Washington. ALSO...They really, really want to sell the "White Supremacist" narrative because it is essential to being able to carry out their plan. If Trump supporting regular American's can be defined as "White Supremacist's" they are then classified as terrorists so that they can spy on all of us with impunity.
AND...just like the "Russian Collusion" story, they are really, really bad at making up stories.

BS is the democrat partys stock in trade. Covid, racism and the Jan. 6th 'insurrection' is all they've got and the lame media trumpeting it. You think there might be a few un-corrupt dem politicians, and then they open there mouths. And the dems of color are the worst. If it weren't for the dominion voting machines and the cemetery vote, they'd be toast! It's hard to believe anyone, anyone, could be so lame brained stupid as to vote for anyone with a 'd' after their name. Sorry for the rant, but this constant harping about losing our democracy from members of the political party actively trying to end it is sickening!

Getting the drumbeat of lies going for the dems observance of January 6th. Remember, the dems said it was worse than the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor which the dems did not make any mention of this year, the 80th anniversary.

Thompson is a flat out liar. There was NO insurrection on Jan. 6. There was an FBI fake event which entrapped a bunch of innocent people, and one of Nasty Nancy's hired killers shot down an innocent woman for no legitimate reason.
No matter how many times they repeat this lie....it is still a LIE.

It is amazing how much “history” is believed and taught that originated by people like this telling stories like this. The narrative regarding Jan 6th is being enshrined by the likes of this man, Pelosi, Cheney, and several others with their constant referral to this as an insurrection. This is one of the many avenues that the present day Bolsheviks are using to destroy this country.

I agree. Trump should have declared martial law before the elections to get a clean count from national guard troops instead of corrupt DNC minions.
Oh, wait, he meant the guided tour and selfie event on January 6th?

"We came perilously close to losing our.." Democrat control of Govt.
Not ONE person has been charged with "Insurrection"...most only "trespassing" in the PEOPLES HOUSE.
This is the same guy that only one week after the entire World saw the Rittenhouse Case nearly dismissed with prejudice because a Prosecutor inferred that "Not giving testimony" was a sign of "Guilt"...publicly stated that refusing to answer any question or testify to HIS committee was a "sign of Guilt".

January 6th was as close to a nothingburger as you can get. Some threat! It was a bunch of idiots doing an idiotic thing. Let us see ALL the video taken in the capitol that day!! The Democrats are grasping at straws trying to make a big deal out of nothing just to try to keep DJT from reclaiming his rightful position as President. Get a life and start governing FOR the people instead of against them and maybe you'd have little to worry about. God, it must be terrible to awaken each morning as a Democrat.

Many of us know people who attended the January 6 show of indignation and support for Trump after the obvious theft of an election. They weren’t idiots, and they weren’t trying to take over the government. But is is remarkable (and disgusting), that so few “republican” representatives have the stones to support their supposed conservative convictions. If they were around in 1776, Washington never would have reached the Delaware.

‘Perilously close to losing our democracy’. I am lmao at this drama queen. It’s really startling that so many of our elite and extremely intelligent media monkeys and politicians think we live in a ‘democracy’. We don’t. This charade over the dark and dangerous Jan 6 ‘riots’ is getting really really old. Put the videos up next to BLM riots. The Democrats encouraged those. People get this.

This lying traitor fails on a few FACTS...there was NO "riot" on 6 January. Secondly, we DO NOT have a democracy. I don't expect this dolt to know the difference between what we are supposed to be and what he claims. I'm ashamed my State of Mississippi is represented by this vacuous, racist, bigoted DOLT...

Some people who had never seen the inside of the capitol---which belongs to them by the way---took a tour.
Insurrection my azz. That is not even close. At worst it was a simple trespass.

First and foremost, the U.S. is formed as a Republic. I here this statement from a number of Democrats, and I think itis code for the U.S. controlled BY the Democrats.
If so, I will cheer to see it fail!! I will work hard to hurry it on its way. I will shed my blood to see its end..

Well if Trump had hopped in his beast (automobile) and drove to the Capitol building during the riot to try and stop the lawlessness. Thompson would be out there today falsely claiming that Trump came to the Capitol to lead the “insurrectionists” to destroy democracy. With the Democrats now it is all politics, as they recognize the the Republicans have a good chance to be the majority party in Congress after the 2022 election.

Where did the 187 minutes come from? I believe Trump tweeted 20-something minutes into the trespass. He didn’t incite the trespassing and didn’t approve it. He was not responsible for Capitol security even though he offered National Guard ahead of time

If, God forbid, the Republic ever actually needed a real insurrection, pray that it consists of more credible insurgents than the ridiculous mob of Chewbacca Man and a bunch of unarmed, selfie-taking, fat, white guys and their SUV-driving buddies on the company bowling team.

Hey, Bennie, regarding your statement - and we recaptured our democracy on January 20th, right? you are about as intelligent as Hank Johnson, who thinks Guam would tip over " ... he fears additional residents could cause Guam to topple. ... " and sink into the Pacific Ocean. where do the demcommies find nitwits such as these, and others, to fill their seats in that house of ill repute in D.C.?
