FBI director shoots down Biden and Democrat narrative about January 6
FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress on Thursday that the Capitol riot of Jan. 6 cannot be compared to “the horror” of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, which killed nearly 3,000 people, despite such comparisons being deployed by some.
Rep. Steve Cohen, a Tennessee Democrat, brought up the topic as Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, telling the FBI chief, “You’ve compared ransomware to 9/11. Ransomware is awful, and it’s a problem. 9/11 was awful. But the insurrection on our Capitol, unlike anything known since the Civil War, is also awful. Where would you compare the insurrection, and would you admit that it was an insurrection on our Capitol, with the assault on our country on January 11th?”
Wray acknowledged the violence at the Capitol in January was wrong and was being prosecuted, but he flatly rejected any comparison to 9/11.
“First, let me just say that I don’t think any attack, ransomware or January 6th, can fairly be compared to the horror of September 11th and the 3,000 or so individuals who lost their lives that day,” Wray said. “And that attack, and my engagement with the victims in my last time in government, was a big part of why I came back into this role in the first place. My reference to September 11th in the context of ransomware was not about the attack, but about how the country came together in response.”

Democrats have been overstating the events of January 6 for political reasons. Their statements never made sense to me either.
