Capitol Police | Carrie's Take

By Carrie K. Hutchens

I don’t approve of violence, and while I wish no one had entered the Capitol building on January 6th, it certainly wasn’t a domestic terrorist attack or an insurrection. Anyone who suggests it was, is either uninformed, an indoctrinated puppet or a sleazy gaslighter that has something to gain from the lie and the continued attack on Trump and his supporters. Count on it.

I’m quite tired of the Collins, McConnells and all the others in Congress who present themselves as oh so righteous, while being both blind and bullheaded. Yes, I am giving some of them the benefit of the doubt, though I’m not sure they deserve it. They’re in Congress, after all, so they must know more than any of us, right? At least that is how some of them come across as thinking.

Trump did not ask ole Pence to void the electoral votes. He asked him to delay the count, until thorough investigations could be carried out. I heard that was a legit request and it is one that should have been honored, not for Trump, but for the voters. Hear that Pence? For the “legally registered voters.”

I, for one, don’t want to hear how there was no evidence of voter fraud. Kind of difficult to gather evidence when no one is bothering to look for any or half-arse doing so, don’t you think?

If a bank employee called and said there was money stolen from the bank, would you likewise merely say there was no evidence? No, you would expect an investigation would be carried out. Funds would be compared to what funds were supposed to be there per documentation. And once that was completed, an investigation would ensue to ascertain who had access and by what means it was possible for any of those people to readily remove the missing money.

By the way, embezzlement can often go on for years before being detected. But you think in 24 to 48 hours, one can ascertain that, though there was voter fraud, it wasn’t enough to change the outcome of an election?

I have a bridge for sale, as they say.

There are many questionable things that occurred Election Day and night. Why would anyone blow it off? Would they do so if it weren’t for the fact that everything odd (suspicious) went against President Trump?

The oh so righteous should especially ask themselves that question. Does their hatred of Trump blind them to the truth or the desire to seek it?

I think it does.

The problem with thinking, even subconsciously, that it’s okay for cheating to have occurred because it is only Trump – is that once it is done to one – it can be done to anyone and everyone. It opens the gate. Yes, it opens the gate to a world of broken rules, cheating, lying and “by any means necessary” behavior. No one is safe under such a realm – not even the self-righteous Trump hating people in Congress.

I’ll be honest.

Every time someone says things such as, “Trump’s false claims” or “without evidence” – I blow my stack.

Those people sure have lit a fire under me and not in a good way. They are calling me a liar. They are lying to me about me. They are telling me that what I saw I did not see no matter that I did. And, of course, they are doing this very thing to everyone else that saw inappropriate behavior and/or discrepancies. This is called “gaslighting” and it is not acceptable behavior under any circumstances – not even by the so-called righteous.

I can truthfully say that if I saw the very same things occurring to a candidate I was totally against – I would feel it as wrong as I do with this situation with Trump and the 2020 Election. I don’t believe in lying or cheating, even about or towards people I can’t stand.

Call it wrongful behavior. Call it a criminal act. But don’t call what transpired on January 6^th an insurrection or an act of domestic terror by Trump supporters. It was neither. It was merely, by Trump supporters anyways, an attempt to be heard and a rightful call for an investigation prior to confirming as true what was actually questionable. We voters do, after all, deserve election results that are assured to be true and accurate. That’s how it is supposed to work. Did it?
