Jake Tapper,
host of CNN’s ‘State of the Union’, on _____’s apparent ‘love’ for the
Capitol terrorists:
“The state of our union is utterly devastated after one of
the darkest days in our nation’s history: a coup attempt, no longer bloodless,
instigated by the president of the United States. The flags at the U.S. Capitol
are at half-staff this morning for the police officer, Brian Sicknick, who was
murdered this week, but they are not at half-staff at the White House, perhaps
because officer Sicknick was the enemy of the terrorist mob, and the mob loves
_____. The mob, by trying to intimidate, threaten, or even kill the vice
president and members of Congress, who were counting the electoral votes—that mob
was, in turn, loved back by _____. According to [Nebraska Republican Senator]
Ben Sasse, White House aides told him the president was quote ‘delighted’
watching the insurrection. In _____’s view, they were fighting for him. _____
put out a statement, ‘we love you,’ he said, after the attack, ‘you are very
special.' It might be difficult to hear these words, it’s difficult to say them
because it’s so ugly, but it’s true. The flag isn’t down at the White House
because the president is not mourning Sicknick. He hasn’t personally decried
the terrorists in any way because the president loves the terrorists and he
reportedly has not even spoken to his own vice president, whose life was at
risk since Wednesday. The images of this attack are so shocking that many of _____’s
enablers are finally, with just a few days left in his presidency, beginning to
get the goddamn point that his continuous lies and humoring of racists and
winks and nods to violent extremists are dangerous.”
Can you imagine a president, any other president, watching
terrorists break into the Capitol, bust windows and doors, shit on the floors,
terrorize on members of Congress, and be happy about it?
