The Republican Convention And January 6 Rioters

The MAGA Republican convention is coming up next month in "horrible" Milwaukee, and there's internal debate over what, if any, role the Malignant Loser's beloved rioters will have at the convention. From Semafor:

"Donald Trump has loudly touted his support for the hundreds of Jan. 6 participants who’ve faced charges, convictions, and imprisonment all year. Now they’re ready for their close-up at the Republican convention — but there’s no indication that it’s coming.

The Republican National Committee and Trump campaign aides are keeping their cards close to the vest on any convention decisions. (An RNC official, when asked about possible plans surrounding Jan. 6 and the convention, said in a statement that 'speculation on programming and speakers is just that.') But a lawyer who’s been a key connector between Jan. 6 defendants and Trump’s campaign says he’s seen no indication planners are interested in taking up offers to have a speaker representing the cause be featured at the upcoming event.

No doubt many Republicans will breathe a sigh of relief reading the above news. Jan. 6 is still a difficult issue within the party, even as Trump has largely squashed Republican complaints about his attempt to overturn the 2020 election for now. Recent Biden ads also feature images of the Capitol riot and the president seems at his most animated when he’s denouncing Trump as a threat to democracy." (our emphasis)

The Malignant Loser's continued peddling of his Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen has given him and his cult the opening to call the seditionist thugs that broke into the Capitol and battled police "patriots" and "political prisoners." He's no doubt eager for them and the neo-Brown Shirt "Proud" Boys and Oath Keepers to make their presence felt in the streets of Milwaukee. 

Of course, the featured presence of the Malignant Loser's violent thugs would be a gift to President Biden, whose campaign is featuring videos of the Trumpist riot to overthrow the 2020 election. There's no better way to demonstrate the profound unfitness of the Malignant Loser that to show his embrace of the mob that tried to destroy democracy on January 6.
