As we told you earlier, rioters demanding gun control took over the Tennessee Capitol and prevented elected officials from conducting the business of the day. The media will of course not use the “I”-word to describe what’s happening. For the most part what we’re seeing is precisely the opposite. Here’s part of what’s happening:

It’s not being reported as an “insurrection,” however:
Somehow today's insurrection isn't getting the same blanket media coverage as 1/6 https://t.co/SPp5vh8BO1

Go figure!
One Tennessee reporter explained why she deleted a tweet that seemed to give the impression the anti-gun protest that shut down the Capitol isn’t completely peaceful — which of course it totally is because leftist activists are always incredibly non-violent:
I deleted the last tweet because I wasn’t as clear. This was a peaceful protest. Students, parents and their supporters went through Capitol security to lobby for gun control in the Capitol. No one was arrested. This shoving started when THP needed to make way for lawmakers. pic.twitter.com/o4GApyKdt4

We can’t be sure, of course, but we’re guessing the framing would be different if these people were from the Right instead of the Left.
Shoving cops isn't peaceful and just from that video, pretty clearly people should have been arrested.

And the people at the Capitol on Jan 6th who were escorted by police officers were insurrectionists, right?

They want you to rot in prison when you protest, meanwhile they pretend their protests are “peaceful”. I can’t even with these lying hypocrites. https://t.co/ojRab2TSKG

Here’s the tweet that was deleted:

The deleted one seemed more accurate, but “journalism” or something.
