She Was For It Before She Was Against It

Many in the American Left, including Pelosi, were all in favor of last summer's destructive riots, too:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has gone on record praising the storming of the Capitol as an "impressive show of democracy in action" -- the 2011 invasion of the Madison, Wis., state capitol, that is.

Pelosi's previous comment's resurfaced following the disturbing assault on the U.S. Capitol earlier this month at the hands of a right wing-mob who stormed the halls of Congress hoping to prevent the certification of the U.S. presidential election...

Ten years earlier, unionists stormed the Wisconsin State Capitol in an attempt to block a vote on collective bargaining reform. Thousands of demonstrators managed to enter the building by violently breaking down doors and shattering windows -- but the attack garnered much praise from Pelosi and other prominent Democrats at the time. 

The occupiers were praised publically by Pelosi for their "impressive show of democracy in action." The House Speaker took to Twitter to express her "solidarity" with the activists as they attacked the Capitol, and sent senators into hiding until police managed to remove them from the building. 

The woman is despicable in her hypocrisy.

And yet when you point this out to lefties, they start smugly dodging the question by saying, "That's just whataboutism, you stupid facist."

"Whataboutism" is just a fancy word for "you got me, but I'm gonna lash out anyway".

I made a comment on a friends post about President Biden stammering and being incoherent about the vaccine. I said "Words matter when you are the President. At least that's what I got from the media for the last 4 weeks how DJT incited the unrest at the Capitol." I was scolded for using a "tu quoque fallacy". But again, it's fine for the left to incite unrest through their vitriol, but if a conservative uses reason and logic, it's racist and causing division.
