McCarthy Agrees: Jan 6 Violent Insurrection

The hell he wasn't. The electoral votes from the battleground states went to Biden and Trump wanted to discard them.

Because THAT vote would not be among members (where a Dem majority would confirm Biden) but rather by states where each state gets one vote. Trump knew that there were more states that had a republican majority (as do you apparently).

Of course that would invalidate the election but hey...who needs democracy...right?
I also understand why Trump would have been content to get the vote into the House. Although I do not share the base assumption, it is clear that Trump assumed that the election had been stolen. Therefore, denying the electoral votes of the states which had allegedly committed the election “fraud” would send the Election to the House which would indeed have nullifies the attempted theft. Net outcome would be a valid election!

WASHINGTON — As a pro-Trump protest turned into a violent attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6 last year, four people in the crowd died.

Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer as rioters tried to breach the House chamber.

Kevin D. Greeson died of a heart attack, collapsing on the sidewalk west of the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Rosanne Boyland appeared to have been crushed in a stampede of fellow rioters as they surged against the police.

Benjamin Philips, the founder of a pro-Trump website called Trumparoo, died of a stroke.

In the days and weeks after the riot, five police officers who had served at the Capitol on Jan. 6 died.

Officer Brian D. Sicknick of the Capitol Police
, who was attacked by the mob, died on Jan. 7.

Officer Jeffrey Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department killed himself after the attack.

Officer Howard S. Liebengood of the Capitol Police also died by suicide four days afterward.

The Capitol Police had previously said that Officer Sicknick died from injuries sustained “while physically engaging with protesters.” The Washington medical examiner later ruled that he had died of natural causes: multiple strokes that occurred hours after Officer Sicknick’s confrontation with the mob. The medical examiner added, however, that “all that transpired played a role in his condition.”

A bipartisan Senate report, released in June, found that the seven deaths were connected to the Capitol attack. But the report was issued a month before two Metropolitan Police officers — Gunther Hashida and Kyle DeFreytag — died by suicide in July.

Denial is not a river in Egypt and some humans do indeed have very, very small brains.

But monkeys do not even use the brains they have.

Trump assumed that the election had been stolen.
Trump did not “assume” that the election was stolen, Trump did everything he could to steel the election and LOST, just like Trump lost his’s six (6) bankrupts.

Trump is a looser, was always a looser and he will go down in history as the biggest loser in recorded history.

However there was no ruling that the election was stolen or that the electoral votes had any basis to be nullified.

It was an attempted coup. He was trying to nullify a legal election. That's third world shit

I didn’t say shit about a “ruling.”

But, it still wasn’t a “coup.” Your misuse of words reveals your lack of comprehension.

trying to stop the legal transition of power is a coup
 
Repeating your garbage is trolling and will be reported.

If you want to claim both McCarthy and McConnell are liars...well we'll file that away for when you claim the opposite
Lying lush is triggered by the truth again. No surprise.
 
You mean Trump wasn't trying to dump a shitload of "inconvenient" electoral votes and throw the election into the House or SCOTUS?

Yea he was and yea that WAS a coup attempt
Repeating your lies is trolling and will be reported.
 
millions in damage
140 cops injured
dozens of cops hospitalized

Yea...it was violent
So were the riots of BLM and the TRUE insurrection that occurred in Seattle. As you and your ilk cheered. As two dozen cops were killed, and billions in property destroyed or stolen. Yes, you people are violent.

Now list the cops and citizens killed by YOUR side during the BLM/Pantifa riots you brainless ass. Starting with David Dorn.
 
Irrelevant.

That does NOT excuse attacking the Capitol
Very relevant. You supported their violent insurrection that resulted in much more property loss and a LOT more deaths. So of course being the coward you are, you try to run from the truth.
 
Using the levers of power to do what is permissible isn’t a coup.
As long as they are LEGAL levers. There is no authority to just throw out slates of electors that you don't like. That is not a legal lever
If the President were correct, what he was hoping to prevent would be an illegal (stolen) transfer of power.
And he was not.
 
The levers were legal if they premise wasn’t correct. Or, at least, arguably legal.
Not even a little bit.

There is nothing "legal" about dumping slates of electors you don't like
