In the grand narrative of political commentary, January 6th has become the left’s favorite refrain, clung to with a surprising tenacity by media outlets like CNN. Despite everything, they persist in painting that day as a relentless assault on the United States Capitol, glossing over the nuances of the incident. They speak of violence and chaos, conveniently ignoring the truth that among the fatalities, it was Trump supporters who bore the ultimate cost. A tragic loss of life occurred, with one individual inexplicably shot and others passing from “natural causes,” according to the official narrative. For all the rhetoric, the repeated comparisons and dramatizations seem desperate, serving as mere distractions from broader truths.
The events of January 6th cannot be fully understood without placing them in the context of the preceding months, a turbulent time marked by widespread unrest across America. The summer of George Floyd became a period of lawlessness, overshadowed by anarchic riots masquerading as protests. Cities burned, property damage reached billions, and lives—real human lives—were lost. These disruptions were perpetrated by those who ironically styled themselves as champions of peace and justice. Yet, oddly, this often goes unacknowledged, as if the destruction and chaos were mere footnotes in history’s greater story.
While left-leaning voices are quick to vilify January 6th, they seem to conveniently forget about the violence and disorder that came before it. The contrast is striking and poignant: whereas Trump supporters have faced severe consequences, including the tragic fate of being shot or dying under various circumstances, the perpetrators from the summer riots walked away relatively unscathed. Those who dared to stand against the onslaught, such as Kyle Rittenhouse, found themselves vilified and branded as enemies of progress.
From this, the lesson could not be clearer. The events in Washington D.C. on that January day were not just a stand-alone occurrence but part of a larger narrative about the desperate need for law and order—a stark reminder that consistency in upholding the law is crucial to preventing chaos. The selective outrage towards January 6th only underscores the bias, a conveniently myopic view that ignores the destruction wreaked by leftist agitators months before. Both sides should have faced accountability, yet only one continues to be the subject of relentless scrutiny.
In conclusion, the continued obsession with January 6th by some media outlets reveals not a quest for truth, but a pursuit of a convenient political narrative. It’s a selective retelling of events designed to distract from the chaotic lawlessness that ensued for nearly a year before. By ignoring these realities and refusing to hold all wrongdoers accountable, the media perpetuates a dangerous double standard. In a just world, the lesson would be about the importance of steadfast law enforcement and the fostering of civility—not about feeding an ongoing cycle of political blame and selective amnesia.
