Oh good grief, you are trying to compare what happened at the Kavanaugh hearings with the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol?Oh good grief. Get back to us when you have cross words about the left who invaded the Capitol for the Kavanaugh hearings or the Supreme Court, or the assault on the white house in 2016.
You need to do more research and fact check.......and stay away from the lies and misinformation that is given out by the Far right media.
The claim: In 2018, liberals and Democrats protesting against Judge Brett Kavanaugh stormed the Capitol and Supreme Court, disrupting and desecrating them
While protesters did push past a police barricade in front of the steps of the Supreme Court to pound on its doors, according to NBC News, USA TODAY could find no reference to protesters entering the Supreme Court building
USA TODAY could find no reference to those protesters damaging the Supreme Court or Capitol, which was open to the public in 2018. During the Jan. 6 riot, though, the Capitol and its visitors center were closed to the public, including tours led by members of Congress and their staff, according to a security notice sent to all members of Congress.
A post equating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol to 2018 demonstrations against the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is MISSING CONTEXT, based on our research, because without additional information it could be misleading. Photos in the post authentically represent the 2018 protests, but the text leaves out key differences between the demonstrations, including violence during the Jan. 6 riot that resulted in the death of a U.S. Capitol Police officer and a demonstrator. Protesters also did not enter the Supreme Court in 2018, as the post claims. The Capitol was open to the public in 2018, but closed during the Jan. 6 riot.
