Is our country REALLY on 'such thin ice that all it takes is a handful of rednecks' to overthrow democracy? Jason Whitlock rips Harris for Jan. 6 speech

When Vice President Kamala Harris compared the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol to terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and December 7 bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, she was doing more than just being ridiculous; she was also demeaning the victims at the World Trade Center and Pearl Harbor, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock said Thursday.

Whitlock played a video clip of Harris speaking from the U.S. Capitol on the one-year anniversary of the January 6 riot.

"Certain dates echo throughout history, including dates that instantly remind all who have lived through them -- where they were and what they were doing when our democracy came under assault," Harris began. "Dates that occupy not only a place on our calendars, but a place in our collective memory. December 7th, 1941. September 11th, 2001. And January 6th, 2021."

"For Kamala Harris to sit up there and [compare ] Pearl Harbor, 9/11 [to Jan.6] ... 3,000 people died on September 11; 2,300 people died at Pearl Harbor. One person [was killed] on January 6: Ashli Babbitt. And this idiot — who's only there to be a racial prop, is unqualified, and there to ... keep the racial division going — is analogizing January the 6th to Pearl Harbor and 9/ 11, and doing it with a straight face," Whitlock said of the vice president.

"This is a game," he continued. "Do you remember where you were on March 1, 1971, when the Weather Underground bombed the Capitol? ... This ain't the first time. There have been worse attacks on the Capitol. ... In 1983, a bunch of liberal white women calling themselves M19 bombed the Capitol. You remember where you were?"

"A group of idiots waving flagpoles, that's all it's going to take to overthrow this government and to overthrow democracy?" Whitlock added. "This country is on such thin ice that all it takes is a handful of rednecks to walk into the Capitol and the whole thing falls apart?"
