Do Any Real People Give A Single Damn About January 6th? (And Other Left-Wing Media Obsessions)

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

I just watched "Meet The Press," which likely means I hate myself. That being said, I can see why the ratings are down overall, as host Kristen Welker seems obsessed with something no one outside the green rooms of cable news give a single piece of their post-digested food about: January 6th. 

I get it, the left is pot committed to the lie that the Capitol Hill riot was “the greatest assault on our democracy since the Civil War,” but no one with an IQ larger than their shoe size is buying it. We remember Pearl Harbor, the assassinations of Presidents, 9/11, etc. 

It’s an idea so stupid it makes the claim that “Kamala Harris has maintained the core beliefs she promised voters she cared about in her 2019 campaign, but has abandoned every single one of her solutions to those problems” seem intelligent. 

Welker, showing a shocking level of unoriginality, asked for the quadrillionth time, “Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?” Someone with brain damage from too much meth consumption doesn’t ask a question as many times as these freaks obsess over hearing Republicans answer this question. 

Honestly, I’ve known junkies less focused on their next fix than these people are when it comes to asking that question over and over. 

Joe Biden is currently the President, therefore, Donald Trump did not win in 2020. As that sends media Democrats into orgasmic fits, note how your grocery bill has not decreased by the 25 percent Biden and Kamala Harris caused over the last 4 years. Also notice that gas prices remain more than 50 percent higher than when Trump left office, and check out all of your insurance bills – health, auto, home, renters – give them a call to see if they will be cutting your bills in half since someone on the right answered the “Who won the 2020 election?” question.

Seriously, call them and ask, I’m sure they could use the laugh. 

After defending the Biden/Harris White House from its past boasting of diverting money in FEMA from disaster relief to programs funding months and months of illegal aliens staying at mid-town Manhattan high rise hotels your family probably couldn’t afford – weird since both the White House and FEMA have bragged about these facts before (you’d think Welker would follow the news since she’s paid a fortune to, but she clearly does not) – she moved on something even less interesting than her audition for press secretary in a Harris/Walz administration: January 6th.

Outside of media leftists, I honestly know not one single person who cares about January 6th. I was angered on that day, but got over it quickly because I’m an adult. 

Democrats would have you believe that nothing in your lifetime matters more than the “selfie revolution” of elderly Americans staying within the ropes of the Rotunda taking pictures of themselves and the fresco under the Capitol Dome. 

I don’t mean to downplay it completely, there were quite a few bad people who were violent and I hope they’re punished, but they were the distinct minority. And, honestly, I can barely bring myself to care about even that after being preached to by Democrats who defended and raised money to free people literally trying to murder police officers during the summer of riots over the overdose death of junkie George Floyd. Yes, this “father of the year,” as they portrayed him (best thing he ever did was stay thousands of miles away from his kid, sparing her having to see a criminal drug addicted father go in and out of jail), died of an overdose. A load of fentanyl does that to people. 

Democrats like Welker will tell you that multiple officers were killed as a direct result of January 6th, or they’ll allow an elected Democrat to do it unchallenged. But no police officers died that day. One died tragically the next day from a stroke unrelated to the fighting, and others committed suicide months later. Are we supposed to believe there was nothing else happing in their lives? That until January 6th, these were happy, well-adjusted people with financial stability and happiness in every other aspect of their lives, but were so haunted by three bad hours at work one day they took their own lives months later?

I don’t know, though I am open to the possibility, but I have questions first.

Welker had questions too, the same old one. How someone being paid quite well could do so little prep beyond reading DNC talking points is a mystery to me. However, there really are only a few options: 1, she knows what her bosses at Comcast demand and agrees. 2, she knows what her bosses want to complies for the money. 3, she’s an empty suit who does whatever she’s told. Or 4, she watches MSNBC and notices the fact that they pay conspiracy fraud Rachel Maddow $30 million a year to work one day per week; have not fired Joy Reid for racism or the entire Morning Joe gang for lying and everyone else on air for general stupidity, which sends a pretty strong message to obey or get out. 

Whatever the answer, the fact that the question can be asked is the problem. Actually, the fact that those questions need to be asked because of the questions those employees ask is the real problem.

Next time you’re out to dinner with the family or marveling at the cost of food at your local grocery store, don’t forget to ask for the “January 6th discount.” When the manager is done laughing, have them send the bill to NBC News, care of Kristen Welker.
