In the name of the Capitol “insurrection,” the editor of Forbes, Randall Lane, announced that Forbes media was “holding those who lied for Trump accountable” in what he called “a truth reckoning”:
“Hire any of Trump’s (press secretaries),” Lane warned, “and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie.”
What the left is doing is announcing — and enforcing — that conservatives “do not belong” in our society. The parallels to 1933 are precise. And most good Americans are keeping silent, just as did most Germans. Though they do not risk being beaten up, are Americans in 2021 as afraid of the American left as Germans in 1933 were of the German fascists? We’re about to find out.

So unlike the Germans in the 1930s... we have no place to go as the Germans that fled came to the USA.

"We have SWAT teams that are being used to collect people and bring them back to Washington.

Levin correctly argued that the protest was not an insurrection, and that the former president could not have incited it—refuting the allegation over which Trump was impeached.
He also questioned why the Department of Justice has not publicly released the "hours and hours and hours" of video footage it has obtained as part of the investigation, as well why Capitol Police have not identified the officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt that day.
"She wasn't carrying a weapon. She was killed, a veteran of 14 years, a Trump supporter. We don't get any of the facts who shot her and why she was shot," Levin said.
"Biden wants you to believe that this is part of a white supremacy movement, neo-Nazis and Klansmen," Levin said. "It's not true. But if it is true, tell us who exactly are the neo-Nazis and the Klansmen.
