The vindictiveness of Democrats knows no limit, apparently. From the organization that calls itself CBS News [1], by the way of an organization with much more credibility, Hot Air [2]
The government is continuing its highly “successful” campaign to identify and convict any person that can conceivably be tied in any way to the Capitol Hill riot on January 6th of last year. The latest two people to be dragged before a magistrate and plead guilty were a pair of sisters, Trudy Castle and Kimberly DiFrancesco. The two women freely admitted to having been at the riot and entering the Capitol Building after someone dropped a dime on them to the authorities, pointing to social media footage showing them inside the building. On Wednesday, they both entered their guilty pleas after the prosecution settled on a charge of “misdemeanor parading, demonstrating or picketing” in a restricted area. They face sentencing on November 22, when they could get up to six months behind bars. They will also each pay a $500 fine. )
Clearly the Democrats and the establishment Republicans involved with these prosecutions feel that something was being threatened by the actions of these people. So, what is it that’s being threatened here?
Is it a matter of safety? Is it a matter of monetary value of the damages involved? By the way, those were minimal, and the only serious injury was the murder of Ashley Babbitt.
When one considers that the people pushing this January 6th business spent years quietly cheering as American cities burned. That would seem to eliminate safety and the monetary value of damages as a motivation for these prosecutions.
What, then? What is the motivation for these prosecutions? What was damaged? What is threatened?
What is threatened is Democrat party power. What was damaged was the illusion of broad support for what the Democrats did for the last 5 years, including the stolen election.
The message being sent is clear. Dissent will not be tolerated. The only logical conclusion to draw is that this is big government protecting itself from the people.
And I put a question to the rank and file Democrats… Did you actually vote for this Jack booted thuggery?
