Right-wing media outlets continue to draw a false parallel to Wednesday’s coup and BLM protests earlier this year. There’s no comparison.
This week, mostly white insurrectionists incited by the president stormed the Capitol, the symbol of our democracy and the home of one of our three branches of government as it carried out its Constitutional duty to certify an election. Police in some cases opened the gates to them and took selfies with them, and then allowed them to walk out of the building.
This summer, a diverse group of people protesting police shootings by exercising their constitutional rights to speak and assemble in Washington, D.C. were met by the national guard, who tear-gassed them on the White House’s orders so he could have a photo-op in front of a church.
There is no comparison.
