I'll agree that comparing Jan 6 to Pearl Harbor or 9/11 is way over the top. Leftist media certainly did downplay the post-BLM-protest riots, and some nuts encouraged them. That's not great. But right-wing media exaggerated in the opposite direction, making them out to be wild riots everywhere when in most cases BLM protests were overwhelmingly peaceful. And Trump pretty much incited the Capitol Hill riot, so there is that.

But there's really no comparing the Capitol Hill riot to BLM protests. In no case did any BLM protest or post-protest riot attempt to take over any federal building or disrupt an ongoing election or the business of Congress. That's a big difference that you just can't seem to accept.

Nobody downplayed the riots happening alongside the BLM protests nearly as much as the lying republican congressmen who now say that Jan 6th was no different from any other tour of the capitol.
