my Garbage person of the week is a small one.
It's to close out this week of January six hearings and all that was revealed,
indisputable truths of what was done and not done on January six and
coming out of it, this is what Ainsley Earhardt has to say.
There's no excuse for a riot.
But remember the summer of 2020 when there were all those riots,
where are the hearings for those riots?
For people?
You know, burning buildings and burning businesses,
you can't pick and choose Which riot is the good one and which one's the bad one?
They're all bad, you know, you can't pick and choose.
We have to go after all the violent crimes and
all the criminals out there, just lazy.
What about ISm is all that?
It is like, no, sure I hate january 6th.
I really get worked up.
But what about something else?
What about another thing we can't pick and choose?
Well, you say that, but can't we?
Because this one was started by the president.
This one went into the halls of Congress.
This one was hundreds of people with a clear,
direct deranged political motivation that they killed cops in pursuit of.
And at the same time, on a parallel track, Republican politicians were doing
the same thing with a little bit less, you know, like thrown fire extinguishers.
And on the other side you have rights, which is true, But
no, president inspired those as far as I can see, I think that we can in fact
probably have an ethical obligation to distinguish between riots spread.
I mean, yeah, you can say like in a court of law, it was proven that the people
who inspired the demonstrations and yes, the riots, following George Floyd,
they were convicted in a court of law of being culpable for
the thing that inspired people to seek more justice everywhere else.
Donald trump's lawsuits to try to prove that there was some kind of basis for
the insurrection were all laughed out of court.
And if you say you have to hate every riot exactly the same amount,
like take to write like after the Lakers win people like light dumpsters
on fire and like technically riot, no one's mad at that.
There's like a car that gets flipped over.
That's not as bad as trying to kill the vice president of the United States and
all of them, everyone involved in it and your heart can McCarthy,
everybody was just waiting to see like is it?
So can I get away with this?
And a lot of them blink mitch, McConnell kevin McCarthy Sean Hannity donald trump
Jr they all blinked and in the moment we're like, this is so bad,
I gotta get my name out of it, josh Hawley was like,
I don't think I'm a big enough fish, but a lot of them like you gotta stop,
you gotta stop donald trump Jr knock this crap off.
Ainsley Earhardt just like, look and
then they come back like I guess I can get away with being this crappy.
Yeah, they they decided that and it didn't take long within a month of it.
They knew that they could go back to pretending in this particular way.
And you know, she should like during that thing do see acknowledge
the Secret Service officers thought they were gonna die, kill me and said,
I can't believe it's come to this point that mike Pence is trying to separate
himself from trump.
They know how serious it is, but this is the job.
They get paid fabulously to tell these sorts of lies.
Those are our garbage people of the week.
But 37,000 of you voted as well.
And here are your top five for the week at number 51% of the vote is trump aide
Garrett Ziegler for his unhinged misogynistic.
And let's be clear also anti Semitic rant coming in at number I'm bad.
The numbers four with 4% of the vote is marjorie Greene for
her latest transphobic attack.
I don't remember which one it was.
It's just every day with her.
Number three with 22% of the vote is the secret service for
conveniently losing text messages from January six.
The criminal inquiry is apparently going to begin on that number to
25% of the vote is Merrick Garland for not prosecuting Trump's obvious crimes and
that is still true, he'll deserve the spot for quite a while for that.
But number one, your garbage.
First of the week, with 47% of the vote is Joe Manchin for blocking any progress
on climate change and condemning all of us to God only knows what going forward.
So thank you to all of you who voted much appreciated.
