61% of Republicans now call Jan. 6 a “legitimate protest”

[Sir Mohamed]

People tend to have goldfish memories and already forgot how horrible it was, just like some in general tend to forget what a total disaster Trump's presidency was. Now they just remember that a bunch of funny dressed weirdos protested against certification of an election whose results they never accepted.

[Sir Mohamed]

It certainly was just as legitimate as CHAZ or Portland, which left-wing politicians and DAs (including folks in the Biden DOJ!) have been happy to sweep under the rug.   

Wow, Republicans are just as disgusting and pathetic as the leftist rioters back in 2020. What a compelling defense of your party!

I’m not defending the Jan. 6th protesters.  It was a useless, stupid endeavor that should have never happened.  But I won’t be complicit in letting partisan Democrats scrub the similarities between 1/6 and other 2020 protests for political gain.

Except that not single serious Dem of rank and file encouraged violent protests in the summer of 2020. Biden and others have repeatedly condemed any kind of violence. He and others never downplayed destruction of property or attacks against law enforcement as "tourist visit" or "legitimate protest".
