This is a pretty pathetic deflection. It's literally the dictionary definition of whataboutism.
However, it's not even good for what it is. You're trying to say that Democrats bear responsibility for riots that they roundly condemned. And your evidence is:
1) Kamala Harris posting a link to a freedom fund that was for
protesters, not for rioters. Conservatives kept lying about this over and over and over again, including plenty of blue avatars on this very forum, and it's really the lie that never goes away. I wouldn't be surprised if you yourself have already had a half-dozen different people send you the fact check on this, which you've brushed away because you really
want it to be true that Kamala Harris bailed out the Wendy's arsonist.
2) Anarchists didn't "overrun a major city" they occupied one block of Seattle and about half of Cal Anderson Park. Trust me, I literally live about four blocks away from where CHAZ was and could hear the live music from my house. So Inslee is correct in your video.
I want to go a little deeper here, though, because another talking point conservatives love to bring up is that Dem politicians were cool with CHAZ. And that was true, for the first 72 hours or so. When CHAZ started, most of us were of the mindset that it was just going to be a couple days of live music, speeches and public art. Which is what it was. The popular joke around here was that it was replacing Capitol Hill Block Party, which is a music festival that usually takes place in the same location around the same time but was cancelled for COVID. That was when you got Jenny Durkan's "maybe we'll have a summer of love" comment.
Eventually it became a horrendous mess because of the same local Seattle city politicians I s--t on all day long in the Washington politics thread -- not any serious member of the Democratic Party. Lorena Gonzalez led the city council in pushing back against Jenny Durkan's attempts to reinstate SPD, sweep the park and arrest the protesters. Lorena Gonzalez is technically a Democrat, but I would put her in the Tlaib/Omar box of "truly loathsome people I wish I didn't have to share a party with", as I'm sure you would with MTG, Gaetz and their ilk. Anyway Durkan was also a Democrat and much higher-profile than Gonzalez, and Durkan was very aggressively pro-SPD and anti-CHAZ, so much so that the anarchists started calling her "gas mask Jenny" and there are still nasty cartoons of her littered all over our streetposts.
3) Pelosi's full answer was a minute and a half long and quite good. She says she disagrees with the mob tearing down the statue.
The Blaze cropped the quote in their tweet to make it sound like she agreed with them. So you just got fooled. I would say it's because you were too lazy to spend 90 seconds watching a clip, but I think the truth is that you're so hungry for reasons to be angry at Democrats (since it validates your continued identification as a Republican, which must get harder every day as your party is now the party of anti-vaxxers who shove horse worm goo up their butts) that you saw the obviously partial quote and just
decided to believe it even though deep down you knew it was probably nonsense.
So in total, you've got a fake story, a Dem saying something correct, and a phony out-of-context quote. And that's your entire evidence for your "Dems supported the rioters" talking point. Which is your whataboutism that gives you an excuse to not condemn your own party for supporting a vicious mob attacking the capitol to try and overturn a democratic election. Seems pretty pathetic when you lay it all out like that, doesn't it?
...doesn't it?
