Today is the third anniversary of the January 6th riot/trespassing at the U.S. Capitol, and it appears Democrats are on the verge of calling for this date to be a national holiday.
Congressional Democrats and the White House are today putting out more social media statements than they have collectively in the last ten years on the anniversary of 9/11. One of those is a Democrat member of Congress, Rep. Jason Crow. His account of that day has caught some attention on social media:
Rep. Jason Crow (@RepJasonCrow) ~ On Jan 6, I was one of the Members stuck in the House gallery.
I still remember the sound of the rioters banging on the House chamber doors. I remember consoling my friend and colleague who had just spoken with her family.
Rep. Jason Crow (@RepJasonCrow) ~ I remember telling my fellow Members to take off their pins so we couldn’t be identified. I remember my Ranger training kicking in to protect those around me.
Rep. Jason Crow (@RepJasonCrow) ~ I remember the brave Capitol Police officers who put themselves between us and the violent mob. I’m forever grateful for their service and honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
REALLY??? Puhleeeeeeeease! Rep. Crow, for being such a pathetic, pussified drama queen, you need to not only turn in your Ranger badge, but you also need to turn in your man card.
There were more, but you get the point. Also, a Community Note has been recommended for that third one:
OldArmyNurse4 (@OldArmyNurse4) ~ @CommunityNotes - Zero police officers died on Jan 6.
The only person who died that day was Ashli Babbitt.
Bleu Cheque (@VERBAL_CHANCLA) ~ 🤣 And the award for the biggest Drama Queen is ...
Hey, Rep. Crow ... guess what?
The beginning of that thread does have a certain "Commander McBragg" feel to it.
Domestic Goddess Beks (@BeksWineWhiskey) ~ JFC, you are pretending you were in a war zone.
Yeah, just like The Bronx Valley Girl was pretending like she was going to be gang-raped. But, of course, she was just fondly reminiscing about the last train she pulled.
Really though, some of the Democrat takes today make it sound as if they were at Omaha Beach on D-Day.
Matt Kakuk (@darealmattkakuk) ~ Huh? That's what you learned in Ranger School - to hide and get rid of your uniform? Something doesn’t sound right.
Tommy D (@KneelB4Zodd) ~ Day 18 Ranger Training - How To Take Off Pins
Mostly Peaceful Memes (@MostlyPeacefull) ~ What part of ranger school teaches you to cower on the floor?
Hmmm ... sounds like Rep. Crow needs a refresher course from a Marine Drill Instructor ...
This kind of hyperventilating certainly wasn't occurring during the summer of 2020:
Carl Gottlieb (@c_cgottlieb) ~ Where were you during 2020 while your colleagues were instigating riots against the police?
Some riots are Democrat-approved.
Awwww ... poor lil' Rep. Crow ... such a delicate snowflake ...
