As the first week of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s select committee to investigate the events of January 6 winds down, a new poll by Rasmussen Reports shows the American people think Pelosi’s focus is on the wrong thing. This from townhall.com.
Instead, they want an investigation into the riots that ravaged cities across America during the summer of 2020 at the hands of Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
Majorities of every racial group and political affiliation support a congressional investigation of last year’s violent protests. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of whites, 64% of black voters, 66% of Hispanics and 62% of other minorities think Congress should investigate the 2020 riots in U.S. cities. Seventy-five percent (75%) of Republicans, 60% of Democrats and 63% of voters not affiliated with either major party say Congress should investigate last year’s violent protests.
The poll contained more bad news for democrats and good news for Republicans ahead of the 2022 midterms. Rasmussen’s numbers show that woke corporations, unpatriotic athletes, leftstream media, and democrat politicians are entirely out of step with American voters.
Sixty-five percent (65%) believe President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris should meet with the family of St. Louis Police Capt. David Dorn, who was murdered in 2020 when he was protecting his friend’s business from looters, just as they did with the family of George Floyd.
Sixty-three percent (63%) of voters think participants in the nationwide 2020 rioting and looting should be criminally charged, as were those who took part in the January 6 Capitol riot.
Sixty-five percent (65%) disagree with Black Lives Matter activists who claim that the U.S. flag and the pro-police “Thin Blue Line” flags are symbols of racism.
Fifty-three percent (53%) think Congress should award medals to the law enforcement agencies that defended their cities from violent looters and rioters in 2020 similar to the awards proposed by Nancy Pelosi for the Capitol Police.
Sixty-two percent (62%) of voters believe that elected officials who downplay the nationwide 2020 rioting and looting deserve to be criticized, a number higher than the 51% who believe politicians deserve criticism for downplaying the January 6 Capitol riot.
Sixty-eight percent (68%) think that refusing to prosecute trespassing, shoplifting, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, receiving stolen property, breaking and entering, resisting arrest and other “quality of life” crimes is likely to increase the commission of those crimes.
These numbers may also explain why the White House and democrat surrogates have recently flipped the script to laughably claim Republicans are the ones pushing to defund the police — for which White House press secretary Jen Psaki got “three Pinocchios” from The Washington Post.
The majority opinions on these issues show that the Left’s practice of disavowing the police and turning cities over to criminals is not a winning message.
Polls are not fool proof but none of us conservatives are surprised by these findings. Actually, even democrats knew the violence and the anti-police initiative weren’t money makers for them. They had ulterior motives–the public display was simply smoke and mirrors. At face value, this was all a cover up for the stolen election. But what else are they obfuscating?
There is much more dirt to be analyzed surrounding the democrat party. But that would prove to be a waste of time with a compromised DOJ in place. Too bad unbiased journalistic investigative analysis is a thing of the past.
