ANALYSIS<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 The incessant drumbeat of the left\u2019s campaign to keep the Capitol Riot in the news every day for nearly two years had some of its intended effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It probably helped persuade some voters not to pull the lever for those \u2018dangerous\u2019 MAGA Republicans during the midterm elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also may dissuade others not to vote for Trump or the GOP in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And some of that concern may be justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the GOP and the right also failed miserably by not forcefully pushing the truth about the \u2018other insurrection\u2019 – the one against Trump and the White House by violent leftists under the BLM flag in May\/June 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was a risk advisor to foreign TV news crews during both violent riots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also strongly condemned both<\/a>, writing of the Capitol rioters at the time: \u201c\u2026many were goons and criminals, and yes, \u2018terrorists.\u2019 No better than Antifa or BLM, or the #NotMyPresident rioters who disrupted Trump\u2019s Inaugural four years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added of the violent Capitol rioters: \u201cWhoever they were, they should be seen and treated as criminals. Arrested and prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sentiment didn\u2019t apply to the hundreds who simply entered the Capitol non-violently, but that\u2019s another issue altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the left, colluding with the establishment media and Democrats in Congress and the White House, only \u2018remembers\u2019 one riot and erased that other one from history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If they mention the violent BLM riot at the White House at all, they focus on Trump\u2019s Bible photo op the next morning at St John\u2019s Episcopal Church, the site across from the White House of an attempted arson the night before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also forget how they aggressively attacked any attempt by Trump, and federal and local authorities, to bring order to the violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flashback: In May 2020, mobs of fat-left rioters tried to storm the White House. They were repelled by police, who were assaulted and hit with projectiles. Democrats and leftists condemned law enforcement at the time for stopping the rioters. #CapitolRiot<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/lJcwdQHC51<\/a><\/p>— Andy Ng\u00f4 \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08 (@MrAndyNgo) January 7, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
