Tim Walz Shows Jack Smith What A Real Insurrection Looks Like

The Minsurrectionists ARE what the J6ers were accused of being: armed. dangerous, and led by a mad man.

Micki Witthoeft, the mother of the late Ashli Babbitt, perhaps best summed up the fraudulent reporting on the “insurrection” of January 6, 2021: “The gun-toting populous (sic) of the United States showed up that day without guns.” In Minneapolis apparently real insurrectionists are showing up with guns.

On January 24, one of them made the mistake of bringing a 9-millimeter handgun to a dust-up with a Border Patrol agent and paid the ultimate price for it. With rights, as they say, come responsibilities,This followed weeks of encouragement by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and his young ward, Mayor Jacob Frey, to make life miserable for the federal agents trying to enforce immigration law.

“Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity but to bank evidence for future prosecution,” said Walz to the people of the city, urging them to take their cameras (and their whistles) to wherever federal agents showed up.

Atrocities? ICE agents have reason to fear Walz’s definition of what an “atrocity” is. His, after all, is the administration that put former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on trial. Surrounded by a hostile, jeering crowd—sound familiar— Chauvin failed to recognize that drug addled felon George Floyd suffered a heart attack while resisting arrest. That “failure” netted Chauvin 22 years in prison. If there was an “atrocity,” it was the provably corrupt trial of Chauvin before a dozen frightened jurors.

Following Floyd’s death, Walz sat back and watched rioters burn down much of Minneapolis, including a police station, while his wife got a Marie Antoinette kind of high on the smell of burning tires.

It seems somehow fitting that the death of an armed insurrectionist in Minneapolis should follow on the heels of Jack Smith’s fantasy presentation before Congress about Trump’s leadership of an imagined insurrection. "These crimes were committed for his benefit,” Smith told the House Judiciary Committee. “The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without him.”

To make this case, Smith had to conceal the exculpatory statements made by President Donald Trump himself. If proof were needed of Smith’s ill intent, consider his damning analysis of Trump’s speech on the White House Ellipse in a prior motion :

Smith cited Trump telling his supporters “we’re going to walk down to the Capitol,” that they would “never take back our country with weakness” and that they had to “show strength and to be strong.” Members of the crowd meanwhile shouted, “Invade the Capitol building!”and “Take the Capitol!”

The deception here was as blatant as the Left’s “very fine people” Charlottesville smear. Upon reading this paragraph, literally millions of Republicans—and maybe even a handful of media people—could tell you what Smith chose not to report, namely Trump’s comment just seconds later: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” As to crowd members shouting, “Invade the Capitol building!” and “Take the Capitol!” Smith cited as his source a “Rallygoer video.” That’s it. No names.

Smith concealed two other significant communications. At 1:38, Trump tweeted, “Please support our local police and law enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful.” At 2:13, Trump tweeted, “I am asking for everyone at the Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember WE are the party of law and order.”

Not surprisingly, Smith made no mention of Ashli Babbitt’s death. The unarmed Ashli Babbitt. The omission is glaring in that Smith mentioned specifically the breaking of the window into which Babbitt, a 14-year Air Force veteran, leaped before being shot by a Capitol Police officer. The window, Smith could blame on Trump supporters. The shooting, well, that was best left unspoken.

Trump was the model of moderation by Tim Walz standards, but Walz’s standards are the media’s standards, and those standards are as malleable as the Left’s cause du jour.
