Leftist politicians and media downplayed and in some cases explicitly encouraged the riots, like Ayanna Presley.
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.easyrider16 wrote: ↑Jul 8th, '21, 15:22 Leftist media certainly did downplay the post-BLM-protest riots,

Arson is a crime for sure. It's not on the same level as a coup attempt, however.

Re: White supremacist group marches through Philadelphia before Fourth of July celebrations
Ummm, they were wild riots and the lasted for months on end. Even worse, BLM/Antifa barricaded federal officers inside a federal building and attempted to set it on fire! https://nypost.com/2020/07/22/portland- ... rs-inside/.

I thought Jan 6th was insurrection? Now it's a riot?

The real insurrection was Biden and his gang of thieves usurping the Trump administration.
