Clinton and Pelosi claimed the 2016 election was rigged. But they weren’t accused of conspiracy theory (or sedition).

So it’s interesting how we’re so quick to judge people who question the 2020 result.

Particularly given the outright corruption uncovered in The Big Guy’s regime and the government agencies that manipulated social media to cover it up.

I must have missed where Clinton and Pelosi orchestrated the halting of the transition of power by threatening the lives of hundreds of legislators.

Perhaps Clinton and Pelosi’s arguments simply weren’t convincing enough?

Some of Trump’s last tweets (before his first amendment rights were violated and his tweets were hidden from the public):

“Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!”

“I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”

Fair to say he also questioned the election process in strong terms.

But so did Nancy Pelosi in 2016 when she said: “ Our election was hijacked. There is no question. Congress has a duty to #ProtectOurDemocracy & #FollowTheFacts.”

You will note the times of those tweets are several hours after congress had been fully taken over.

I said Clinton and Pelosi did not orchestrate violence because they didn't and Trump did. He rallied in DC. He told them to march on the capital. I could tell this would happen just from rhetoric in speeches in the preceding week. All of this deflection is nonsense.
