Oh, but out of the mouths of children comes truths adults conspire to keep unspoken. Simpletons too. Sometimes, when the whole village shares a quiet understanding to leave an inconvenient truth unspoken, the village idiot blurts it out in the town square. I allude here to Cortez the Clown, the comic relief of Congress.
She stuck her foot in her mouth, as the saying goes, or should we say she stuck her hoof in her mouth?
You see, we’re supposed to believe that Trump incited his followers to engage in an insurrection and that they broke into the Capitol. Some have pointed out, right from the beginning, the authorities let people in. In some cases people broke through some of those crowd barriers and in some cases, people fought with officers. But in many cases, the police allowed them to walk in through open gates and open doors. Some officers waved them in. One can not invade a space one has a right to be in. You can not break into a house when the door has been opened for your entry.
Early on, it was reported by mainstream sources that authorities let people in. But along with the hoax about Officer Sicknick being killed as a result of an injury from an attack that day1, the media mainly portrayed the police as the good guys and the ‘insurrectionists’ as the bad guys who broke in and attacked those suddenly noble officers who were all racist a moment earlier.
Many of us jokingly noted how all of the sudden the police were good guys. Instead of being evil racist tools of Trump’s far-right white supremacist patriarchy, now they were the poor victims of Trump’s insurrectionists. They went from the bad guys, something to abolish and to have fiery but mostly peaceful protests about, to the good guys without a pause between. The hypocrisy was head-spinning.
So, for the most part, the narrative required that no one admit that many of those so-called insurrectionists were, in fact, just people strolling in through open doors as the authorities smiled and nodded. I guess no one gave Cortez the memo… or maybe she got the memo but it was above her reading level. One imagines Pelosi at home watching the following and spitting out her wine…
One imagines Pelosi doing a second spit-take as Cortez retweets it…
