The DHS secretary also argued to the reporter that she doesn’t know of “any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign."

    She doesn’t need to answer. She’s a traitor.

    We have multiple videos from multiple angles proving he never touched his LEGAL firearm and then was disarmed before being executed.

    Traitors don’t get the benefit of the doubt. Arrest her and try her for treason, along with the executioners.

      She knows she’s going on trial and knows the facts work against anything she would say if she actually attempted to answer the question because she cannot tell the truth. She’s betting on the cult to bail her out, therefore she wont give any soundbites that the cultists would not want to hear, such as facts

      From what I’ve seen, the media knows the answer and the story is more how the administration refuses to answer rather than the answer itself.

      Every time she’s on camera she knows a soundbite might make its way to the ears of the cult she depends on, so she won’t give any soundbites that go against the cult’s mentality such as factual evidence. She also know her time is up and will be in a court sooner rather than later

      Exactly! When it’s a Rittenhouse, it’s a ‘citizen protecting property and defending themselves’, when it’s a Pretti it’s a ‘violent protester attempting to obstruct and massacre law enforcement’.

      We are not the same, and they are saying it too.

        I would rephrase that to many, far more just wielding flags, beating officers with doors etc…, but yes there were a lot of armed protestors on january 6th… and the only person that got shot was one who breached so far past where she was supposed to go that there was no rational way to prevent congress and pence etc… from getting attacked.

        Also charlottesville, covid 19 armed protests (https://everytownresearch.org/report/covid-armed-protests/), etc… bottom line there’s been a hell of a lot of right wing armed protests… and one thing they all have in common… people blatently brandishing guns didn’t get shot by cops.

    She can’t answer because they did disarm, then murdered him in cold blood,with NINE fucking shots.

    They then walked away like it was a Sunday brunch and left someone else to clean their mess.
