President Joe Biden claimed during his first State of the Union address that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”

Moments after the transcript of the speech’s opening went public before the address, Washington Examiner chief congressional correspondent Susan Ferrechio tweeted out a photo featuring devastation from the 1983 Senate bombing. //

I lived through 9/11. My grandfather was sent to war after Pearl Harbor. Stop disrespecting the memories of the dead you absolute hack.

Joe Biden is absolutely correct in saying tonight that January 6 was “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.” //

Nearly 3,000 died on Sept. 11, 2001, and more than 2,400 at Pearl Harbor. Only five died who were present at the Capitol on Jan. 6 this year, four of whom passed from natural causes, and one from a gunshot fired by a Capitol Police officer.

New York Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York helped secure clemency for the left-wing terrorists who bombed the U.S. Capitol decades earlier, granted by President Bill Clinton.
