Watch GOP congressman squirm and try to maneuver when confronted with his own words about the insurrection. Hilarious!

LOL, I can show you pictures of the civil war where the soldiers look like they are just normal tourists too. If someone says that about them, I would explicitly want to clarify why they would say such a bizarre thing. It’s so ridiculous as to warrant some explanation. It doesn’t matter if some of them look like tourists. They were there to disrupt the United States Congress and were threatening the life of the vice president of the United States. Tourist visit? LOL.

If you mean what you're saying then you have a problem comprehending the language and the words that were said.

Or maybe you did a piss poor job of getting whatever it was you were trying to convey across, since multiple people took what you said that way...

Just saying....

One other person and I learned you can't take him seriously cuz he's a stone partisan.
I don't know you well enough to conclude that about you.
So let's find out ...
Raskin quoted Clyde as saying ... what?
Clyde's complete quote (I provided it) was ... what?
Is there a difference?
Answer that honestly and you'll understand.

The reasons to selectively take some pictures from a mob organized for the sole purpose of undermining and discrediting the critical functioning of our democracy, pose a physical threat to our elected officials, and and call them "tourists", is either to gaslight, incredibly naivete, or being complicit.

What other options are there? Which one is Clyde?

No, he didnt directly quote him. That what you wanted to hear?

That having been said, I would like you to explain what in the first half of the quote makes anything in the second half any better.

The end result was claiming that if you took that moment as a snapshot, it didnt look like what it turned into. To that I say, fine, you can have that point. Reality says we have to take the situation for what it eventually became. Thats why I said what I said about 9/11.....taken as a snapshot of any moment prior to 846am that morning, it too look like no big deal. But that snapshot would hardly be representative of the events of that day, just as Clydes claim wouldnt be representative of the events of 1/6. To say otherwise is to minimize what happened on thay day.

have you seen the vids of the people going through Statuary Hall? He nails it. They walked politely, chatted with Cap Cops.

So he was commenting on that one thing and ignoring all of the violence?

Im pretty sure the conversation was something to the effect of:

"Yall might wanna get out of here before we start wildin' the **** out."

Probably not the first thing you've been wrong about - I'm DAMNED sure of that.

 

[Bullseye]

Huh?

 

[bullseyelqcs]

Huh?

Seemed like a pretty simple question...

So because Clyde wasnt "lying" about his snapshot in time, he should excused for ignoring everything that happened after that?

 

[bullseyelqcs]

Probably not the first thing you've been wrong about - I'm DAMNED sure of that.

Having been wrong about other things doesnt mean I am about this.

Now that I'm out of the office and can view the video, Raskin is twisting what Clyde said, which is the fragment of video in reference the people were acting like tourists.

“Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol. … If you didn't know the TV footage was from Jan. 6, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit.”

Shouldn't that particular TV footage which the comment was about and in response to need to be weighed against this statement?
It could very well be that in the referenced fragment of TV footage the people were behaving as tourists.

There is no claim expressed in that statement that everyone who breached the capitol security barrier behaved 'like tourists'.
Only in that particular TV footage that was referenced.

Such BS from the Democrats on this specific statement. Can only guess how the rest of this politically motivated Kabuki theater smear job is going to go. No wonder McCarthy declined to participate in this BS.

Hell, even the more liberal end of the Republicans think it's BS:

Susan Collins Rips Nancy Pelosi’s ‘Partisan Committee’ Investigating January 6 Riot

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) ripped House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Sunday for creating a “partisan” commission to investigate the January 6th Capitol riot.Collins, a moderate Republican in the Senate, backed creating the commission to investigate the riot. She pulled support, however, after...

This BS from the so called 'Commission' to find the facts and the truth?
You can see that this is exactly NOT what the Democrats are pursuing.
It is the politically motivated Kabuki theater smear job, exactly as predicted.

Peddle that bullshit somewhere else.

First off, if there was anyone on that video that later participated in the insurrection, then it would negate what he said. Do you or he know if that is the case?

Secondly....even in NONE of the people in that particular video participated, it doesn't change what happened AFTER that piece of video was taken, now does it?

What Clyde attempted to do was intimate that what you see on that video is representative of what actually happened on that day, which is complete bullshit on its face. What you see on that video can at best be said to represent what happened at that very moment.

To be particular....the part of his comment I highlighted in red implies that these were the only people who entered the Capitol, or at the very least are the only people we should be focusing on, which we ALL know isn't the actual case.

 

[NolanVoyd]

Huh?

Who cares if a handful of people were walking around like tourists while the rest of them were brutally attacking police in other parts of the capital?

What is his point? If not to minimize?

 

[Bullseye]

You really don't grasp the point?

IF those people were die-hard insurrectionists it would mean the Capitol Police were incompetent, wouldn't it?

I do, but they're mostly why too complex for liberals to understand. Libs struggle at anything beyond "Orange man bad". Some don't even get THAT FAR.

You are babbling.

The capital was violently attacked by insurectionists trying to "stop the steal".

Are you denying that?.

This moron cherry picked one video and says if you didn't know the context they might be tourist's.

You are defending that.

I am asking you, what was his point?

Trace the conversation back, you've wandered far afield.

I guess we can take it that your point is to defend the insurrection by shitting on the cops at all costs.

Gotcha.

You COULD, but I think you're more intelligent than that. Please don't prove me wrong.

Just did.

So explain what the point of his comments were.

Right over your head.

Peddle that bullshit somewhere else.

Someone who has difficulty with the English language?

First off, if there was anyone on that video that later participated in the insurrection, then it would negate what he said. Do you or he know if that is the case?

Don't have to. Either those people were acting violently in the specific TV footage mentioned, or they were not. According to Clyde, they were not. Unless we can play the specific TV footage he was talking about, how can you decide for yourself whether there did behave like tourists or not?

Secondly....even in NONE of the people in that particular video participated, it doesn't change what happened AFTER that piece of video was taken, now does it?

What happened after is not the TV footage that was referred to by Clyde's comments, was it?

What Clyde attempted to do was intimate that what you see on that video is representative of what actually happened on that day, which is complete bullshit on its face. What you see on that video can at best be said to represent what happened at that very moment.

Where does his statement say that? Or are you mind reading? We can only go with what was publicly stated, not what you picked up on your mind reading RADAR.

To be particular....the part of his comment I highlighted in red implies that these were the only people who entered the Capitol, or at the very least are the only people we should be focusing on, which we ALL know isn't the actual case.

Which TV footage was it that he was talking about? I don't care what you believe or don't believe was implied. If this 'Commission' is in search of fact and the truth, wouldn't at commission have to also show the TV footage that was being talked about?

Or is this just an public political lynching? Which it certainly looks like it is.
