When\u00a0President Donald Trump\u00a0called a press conference on Aug. 11 to discuss how he would use emergency powers to federalize the Washington, D.C., police and deploy the National Guard, the knee-jerk anti-Trump media launched into complaining Trump was doing something dramatic about the crime-riddled District of Columbia.<\/p>\n

But the most obnoxious spin was dragging\u00a0the Jan. 6 riot\u00a0into it, which they can\u2019t help but burp out. CNN anchor Dana Bash lectured: \u201cJust as we go to break, I should note that the most violent moment in recent history in D.C. was January 6th, and it was an attack on the United States Capitol by a lot of people who were doing it in the name of Donald Trump,\u201d Bash said. \u201cAnd it included the people who were hurt\u2014included members of law enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a similar vein that night,\u00a0MSNBC host\u00a0Lawrence O\u2018Donnell proclaimed: \u201cThe biggest crime spree in the history of Washington, D.C., was on January 6th for Donald Trump, and Donald Trump did not send the National Guard that day!\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s quite obvious\u00a0that Democrats can reach\u00a0for the same old hypocrisy hobby horse\u2014President Pro-Police nudged his most fervent supporters into a riot over allegations of a stolen election. But these complaints desperately need one of those \u201cindependent fact-checkers.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s simply false to suggest that Jan. 6 was \u201cthe most violent moment in recent history in D.C.\u201d This obviously ignores the Washington riots after\u00a0George Floyd\u2019s death\u00a0in 2020. It\u2019s downright weird to describe it as a \u201ccrime spree\u201d when so many of the \u201crioters\u201d were prosecuted for peacefully entering the Capitol and taking selfies.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t compare to older examples, like the riots after Martin Luther King Jr.\u2019s assassination in 1968, which ended badly: \u201c13 people were dead and more than 900 businesses were damaged,\u201d according to Global Investigative Journalism Network.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also not accurate to say, \u201cTrump did not send the National Guard that day.\u201d The Washington National Guard arrived far too late\u2014five hours after the first breaching of the gates placed around the Capitol. The president expressed a desire to have a serious National Guard presence in the days leading up to the certification of then-President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s victory. But Democrats from Mayor Muriel Bowser to then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn\u2019t want that. Neither did Trump\u2019s own Defense Department. Even after the violence began, the Pentagon dragged their feet for hours.<\/p>\n

What really makes the Jan. 6 comparison so ridiculous is comparing this allegedly \u201cmost violent event\u201d to an annual homicide rate of over 200 people a year. One person was shot dead on Jan. 6, and that\u2019s the Capitol Police shooting Ashli Babbitt. None of these liberal journalists ever want to discuss that. It\u2019s an example of a police killing they seem to find acceptable by their silence.<\/p>\n

In the first 24 hours after Trump\u2019s press event, we found that between CNN and MSNBC, they raised the spectre of Jan. 6 a total of 31 times. These people made it plain when Pelosi picked her kangaroo court that they would attempt at all times to excise all memory of the 2020 riots (25 deaths nationwide).<\/p>\n

But the decades-long problem of violent crime in the \u201cMurder Capital\u201d can\u2019t be dismissed with the usual MAGA-menace material. It\u2019s a failure of Democrat Party governance, and we know our media never want to admit that.<\/p>\n
