Colorado Congressman Buck responded to these excretal claims in a lengthy letter in hopes that authors “will cease disseminating false information.”
Those who remain in custody have been charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer or conspiracy or possession of a deadly weapon on Capitol grounds, all felonies. They remain behind bars because they pose a danger to the community or are a flight risk or are likely to obstruct justice.
. Buck handily dismantled the Walkins’s claims of abuses, violation of constitutional rights, and unequal treatment. He criticized the GOP call to action email for making irresponsible, false, and misleading claims and for misdirecting “the energy and resources of Republican activists at a time when this country is facing crises after crises as a result of the failed policies of the Biden administration.” The congressman could not be more right. President Biden’s time in office has been characterized by foreign policy mistakes and unconstitutional domestic policies shot down by the courts. Since Democrats plan to field this unpopular, sometimes confused octogenarian in 2024, the GOP should be focused on Biden’s blunders and GOP solutions.First, we were told the mysterious deep state, election equipment companies, foreign powers, Democrats, election workers, and other nefarious characters rigged the election results for Biden with such skill they left no evidence behind. Then we were told a peaceful protest on January 6 was crashed by armed Antifa and undercover federal agents. Maybe a few righteous patriots got a little too enthusiastic and entered the Capitol. ‘Twas a misunderstanding, a mere contretemps to which far too much attention has been paid. Now for the sequel: Hundreds of innocent patriots from the January 6 “incident” are being held as political prisoners without charge, deprived of due process, denied medical care, given only bread and water, beaten and berated, crowded together in unheated prison cells in the frigid north. You know, like in The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a former prisoner of the Soviet prison system who lived to tell. Just like that. Will the rebuttal letter by Congressman Ken Buck, a respected conservative, disabuse deluded Colorado Republicans of these embarrassing fantasies? Hope springs eternal. As long as conspiracy theorists helm the state party, it is more likely Buck will have to return to the dirty work of dispelling disinformation. Keep the shovel handy, Congressman.
