Giuliani, Business Roundtable and Comey statements

R. Giuliani video:     Something very serious has gone wrong with us, much more serious than we realize.  The erosion of our rights, the attack on our rights, the oligarchs taking control of our country Is very, very dangerous, and the way in which they change reality, turn it around completely.  Take a situation that was orchestrated by rioters and attribute it to decent people who have a difference of opinion to prevailing wisdom that must prevail otherwise your rights are taken away.  There’s a difference of opinion and a strong one.  The difference of opinion is supported by many facts, many details, videos, scientific analysis, 1,000 affidavits.  It’s not just a whim or a guess or a thought.  Much of it is provable fact.  If we can’t discuss that in this country, if we can’t discuss that without people being threatened by jail, without people losing their jobs, without people losing their ability to go about their lives normally, then this country has changed in a way that we have got to change back to what it used to be--a country in which we can freely express our opinions.”   https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/oligarchs-taking-control-country-rudy-giuliani-capital-frame-last-week-big-tech-censorship/

1-13-21 Washington DC   All our efforts however depend on commitment to our country’s most fundamental democratic principles, including honoring the results of free and fair elections and the peaceful transition of power. We leave it to our elected leaders to judge the feasibility or wisdom of attempting to remove the President from office in the final days of his term, but we believe the President’s behavior – including encouraging an assault on the Capitol and attempting to overturn the results of a legitimate, democratic election – deserves the strongest possible condemnation. We call on all elected officials to do their utmost to counteract false claims of a fraudulent election and to promote a restoration of civility and decency in governance.”    https://www.businessroundtable.org/business-roundtable-statement-on-impeachment

   James Comey:   “First, they are terrorists.  They are people bent on coercing a civilian government, attacking our democracy because of their warped view of reality.  The reason their view is warped is because of the president’s lies, and it’s not just the lie about the election, which is the prime mover for this attack on Capitol Hill.  It’s four years of constant lying about the virus, about our institutions, about our courts, about our democracy.  The demagogue’s lies have great power, especially when they’re echoed by his enablers in the Senate and the House and the media.  This is how Al-Qaeda radicalized, a constant torrent of lies at vulnerable people.

  “We have millions of vulnerable people in this country who have consumed these lies, and some portion of them have been radicalized to the point where they believe they’re on the side of the angels who have to engage in violence directed against us.  So it’s a serious threat.  It’s a terrorism threat.  Donald Trump and his enablers--we want to make sure we keep the receipts because a lot of people are going to deny they had any connection to it come a few months from now, but that group of people is a radicalized group of terrorists.”  https://trendingpolitics.com/james-comey-compares-trump-supporters-to-al-qaeda-terrorists-during-interview-with-the-view/
