There was constant violence from the left all through 2020
Reasons matter, there was riots in the 60's because of violence against black Americans.
The 2020 riots were for the same reasons.
and Dems never considered turning down the rhetorical heat.
BS.
They did.
8 times Biden, Obama et al. condemned Black Lives Matter ...

Jan 15, 2021 — Some accuse
Democrats of
condemning the Capitol riots but giving a pass to the
violence at some Black Lives Matter protests.
On May 31, the fifth night of demonstrations, former Vice President Joe Biden, the party’s presumptive nominee,
wrote in a statement that protesting police brutality is “right and necessary” and the “American response."
“But burning down communities and needless destruction is not,” Biden wrote. “Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.”
On June 3, Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., the majority whip of the House of Representatives,
told The Washington Post that the movement for racial justice suffers when it is “hijacked” by violence.
"We have to make sure we do not allow ourselves to play the other person’s game,” Clyburn said. “Peaceful protest is our game. Violence is their game. Purposeful protest is our game. This looting and rioting, that's their game. We cannot allow ourselves to play their game."
In June, former President Barack Obama praised the BLM protests as they went nationwide, in a piece for Medium. But he wrote: “Let’s not excuse violence, or rationalize it, or participate in it. If we want our criminal justice system, and American society at large, to operate on a higher ethical code, then we have to model that code ourselves.”
WHY are teabaggers STILL trying to compare the two totally different instances?
Like one riot negates the other?
