Democrats launch irrational attacks on GOP, Trump

 Susan Ferrechio:

Democrats haven’t had a very happy new year, thanks to a stalled agenda, mediocre poll numbers, and an increasingly dim outlook for their party in the November elections.

Lacking many significant accomplishments they can tout to voters, Democratic lawmakers have instead intensified attacks on the GOP, who otherwise stand poised to reclaim the House majority and perhaps the Senate 10 months from now.

The party seized on the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol to resurrect their effort to tie Republicans to the violent throng who stormed the Capitol and to link the GOP to former President Donald Trump, who they blame for inciting the attack by perpetuating, to this day, the claim that the 2020 election was rigged.

While party leaders said the daylong remembrance at the Capitol was to focus on those who defended the building or endured the attack, Democrats ensured Trump and Republicans loomed large.

President Joe Biden delivered a broadside against Trump in a speech marking the one-year anniversary.

Biden dedicated a significant chunk of his Capitol address to blaming Trump and his supporters for contesting the election results and inciting the mob who forced their way into the Capitol.

“The former president of the United States of America has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election,” Biden said. “He's done so because he values power over principle, because he sees his own interests as more important than this country's interest than America's interest, and because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our Constitution.”

While Biden didn’t name Trump or any Republican lawmakers, Democrats have been ramping up a messaging tactic tying Republicans to the former president.

The Republican Party, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a speech marking the Jan. 6 anniversary, “was taken over by Donald Trump.”

Democrats and Biden could use a little political distraction right now.

Biden’s disapproval rating hit a new high last week from voters who frowned on his handling of the economy and the drawn-out COVID-19 pandemic.

Democrats in Congress are spinning their wheels, unable to advance Biden’s $1.75 trillion Build Back Better plan that was to serve as the centerpiece of his economic agenda and failing to promote the more popular, $1 trillion infrastructure bill Biden signed into law last year.

“It has been stunning to see some Washington Democrats try to exploit this anniversary to advance partisan policy goals that long predated this event,” McConnell said. “It is especially jaw-dropping to hear some Senate Democrats invoke the mob’s attempt to disrupt our country’s norms, rules, and institutions as a justification to discard our norms, rules, and institutions themselves.”

Democrats are committed hypocrites on the Jan 6 events.  They are the same party that approved of similar assaults on government buildings when they lost elections.  They exaggerate the events of January 6 for political reasons while the government has yet to charge a single person they have arrested with the things Democrats are claiming.  There has not been one person charged with insurrection.  Most charges have been for trespassing and "parading."
