All eight Republicans and both senators in the U.S. House of Representatives voted for the Lakeken Riley Act on January 22nd. Named after a University of Georgia student who was killed in February, the law requires Department of Homeland Security officials to detain undocumented immigrants who have not been charged under any law. Theft.
However, in the violence of January 6, 2021, when the results of the 2020 election support the efforts President Donald Trump has made to storm the US Capitol, “law and order” is our representative. Get a small squishy for those.
Reviews of that 2021 social media post show some harsh warnings published about violence. One died of injuries a day later.
Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn; I wrote it “These actions at the U.S. Capitol by protesters are truly mean and unacceptable. I am safe and evacuated, but these protests prohibit us from fulfilling our constitutional obligations. I will condemn them on the strongest possible terms. We are a country of law. ”
Senator Bill Hagerty – A freshman who has not yet been appointed – Posted x, “I have always believed in peaceful protests. What’s happening at the US Capitol today is not peace, it’s violence. I condemn it with the strongest words. We are a country of law and this must stop. ”
We are a country of law and order. This violence is unacceptable. Pray for our country’s Capitol Police and law enforcement officers.
– Rep. Mark Green (@RepMarkGreen) January 6, 2021
Rep. Tim Burchett, a Knoxville Republican who represents Tennessee Capitol District 2; Posted On his official website,Riots at the US Capitol are a bit of a crime. The president needs to publicly tell his supporters to stop. Otherwise, people will be injured or killed. Thank God that Capitol police officers are working to control the situation. They have a family just like us. ”
Similarly, District 7 US Rep. Mark Green; A retired US Army officer who graduated from the US military academy in West Point; Posted On X that day: “We are a country of law and order. This violence is unacceptable. Pray for our country’s Capitol Police and law enforcement officers. ”
Given the hardlines these lawmakers robbed them of the dishonorable Capitol riots, I thought they were thinking about President Donald Trump’s decision to forgive 1,500 mobs. Anti-government militia.
Blackburn and other GOP senators did not answer repeated questions about pardons from DC reporters, the DC Bureau of the newsroom reported.
I thought Blackburn would probably handle a Tennessee-based journalist.
I reached out to get comments from Blackburn, Hagerty, Burchett and Green, shared my 2021 posts and asked for a response to Trump’s pardon.
Only Hagerty’s office responded.
“In the past few years, it has been painfully clear to Senator Hagerty that the Biden Department of Justice uses a January 6 investigation to over-penge political views rather than their own actions. The spokesman wrote.
Throughout last year’s presidential election, Trump was clear about his intention to relentless protesters on January 6th, and the response continued. “The Americans knew what he was trying to do and voted for him.”
I commend Hagerty’s office for responding.
However, the hypocrisy of the other members is eye-opening. Because of the domestic terrorists who cower under their desks, how can officials who quickly label immigrants can label immigrants as terrorists remain silent over pardons?
Many of us are right-wing groups trying to destabilise the government through actions like Capitol riots, that is, ours, who have chosen violence to achieve political objectives, and are now released to the population. He is a “patriot” in the middle of the day.
We don’t hear often, but it shouldn’t be on the law. But if silence from Tennessee’s Republican delegation is any indication, it is clear that Tennessee cannot expect our federal representatives to take the moral high ground. They even have the courage to publicly defend their choices.
Get the morning heading.
