7. Given you have been critical of Donald Trump for addressing protesters on January 6 and have criticized as reckless his warning to them, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,” you surely must have known that by June 2020, when for nearly a month nationwide protests had turned violent, it was reckless of you to urge on such continued disruption and turmoil and warn Americans the street tumult should not cease:
“This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop. And everyone beware, because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. And that should be—everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not.”
More specifically what did you mean exactly by describing the Antifa/BLM-led protests as a “movement”? What sorts of movements were they exactly?
Why did you urge that these by now often violent protests “should not” stop? Was that reckless given the violence that had already occurred?
Why did you warn Americans with the word “beware”? Beware of what exactly?
Why did you invoke Election Day as the key date to remind Americans that the street demonstrations would continue over the next four months to Election Day, and then beyond it? Did you see the tumult as politically useful for your own party?
8. Given you endorsed the George-Soros-backed radical George Gascón for Los Angeles County District Attorney and Kim Foxx for Cook County (Chicago) State’s Attorney, and given crime then soared in both their jurisdictions while laws have been selectively enforced, do you regret those endorsements? Will you again endorse Gascón? Why did you support in 2020 a massive $150 million cut in the police budget of Los Angeles County? Would you do so again?
9. Why did you tweet out this complete falsehood about Jussie Smollett?
“[Jussie Smollett] is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery. This was an attempted modern-day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.”
Why did you think Smollett was almost lynched? And by whom? And what is the “hate” that you think led to Smollett’s staged attack? Have you ever formally apologized for this rush-to-judgment tweet?
10. In the past, you have objected to the description “radical Islamic terrorism.” Why? Were the murderers on 9/11 or those on October 7 not Islamic radicals? Did they not engage in terrorism?
Do you object to the word “radical” or “Islamic” or “terrorism”—or all three?
Are those who have habitually murdered Americans and Europeans in the name of their religion not radically Islamic? Do they kill in a moderate fashion? Or on behalf of Christianity or Judaism? Or is their killing of civilians not terrorism? Or do you believe it is rare? What term do you suggest the public use instead for those who murder such as those on 9/11 or October 7?
Perhaps “militants”—as if they kill indiscriminately on behalf of any cause or religion or do not engage in terror? Are “Muslim militants” or “moderate Islamic terrorists” or “religious terrorists” acceptable, and if so, do they accurately describe the motives and agendas of those who committed murder on 9/11 or October 7?
