Today's Commentary
Today's commentary is taken from an article, published by The Federalist and written by Jenni White.
“What I Saw at the Save America Rally in Wash. D. C. on Jan. 6, 2021”
We encourage you to read ALL of this transcript today by going here. Thank you.
Six friends and I drove almost 20 hours to attend the Save America Rally on Jan. 6 in Washington D.C. with hundreds of thousands of people: families, young people, old people, veterans, Americans of every conceivable ethnicity and background. I stood in the freezing cold, shoulder-to-shoulder with other Americans to the point I simply couldn’t move, there were so many people crowded together.. .
The crowd went wild with appreciation as Trump took the stage, yet as soon as he began to speak, a sea of voices stilled to listen. After touching on his hopes for his vice president, his disdain of cowardly Republicans including Mitt Romney, President Trump said to us, “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators, and congressmen and women. We’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong” (16:25).
Later, he said, as the transcript verifies, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard” (18:16). I heard President Trump praise many members of Congress, but heard nothing to incite violence
Again, we heard nothing from Trump calling for a riot. He used his usual strong language, strongly criticizing those he disagreed with and repeating claims the election was “stolen,” but he did not call for any violence and specifically asked for “peaceful” expression of disagreement.
. . . As the crowd turned over to Pennsylvania Avenue on their way to the capitol, our group turned up 14th Street to our hotel to get something to eat and use the facilities. It was while we were there that we heard of what had happened at the capitol via the major media. We were absolutely, completely shocked beyond comprehension to hear of any violence, considering our previous experience at Trump rallies and after hearing the president’s speech at this one.
(In their hotel room) Why are we seeing video of Capitol Police opening barricades around the capitol and beckoning people to come in? Why are there videos of some people inside the capitol singing patriotic songs and taking pictures, as if they did not enter to riot or commit other crimes? Why are people being told that Trump incited a riot when transcripts of his speeches show he explicitly called for peaceful behavior?
Except for the few bad actors, who deserve due process and the just punishments the law calls for, like every other rioter, the vast majority of the American citizens who marched on Jan. 6 were guilty of nothing more than a desire to see free and fair elections and of keeping our country a constitutional republic. We did not come to start violence or “sedition,” but to peacefully protest and call on our representatives to do their jobs.
And we will not go away. We have as many questions about the capitol unrest as we have about 2020’s election processes—and none of those are being addressed by corporate media.
As we try to move forward while being falsely attacked for violence we did not participate in and do not condone, I am taking strength from Winston Churchill: “Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense.”
Today's Prayer
Lord God, we need You. Father God, we need you. Holy One, we need you.
We ask that You would now move by Your mighty Hand and deliver us from the lies and the false narrative being shown across the nation now, hour after hour, of what took place in Congress one week ago today.
We repent for this skewed version of our "news" that is now being perpetrated by the mainstream media nonstop.
Help us to turn from these lies - and from the sources of these lies - to seek Your face and to walk in renewed truth. Help us to find HOPE for the future of this nation where today, there seems to be so little hope for our future. Help us to heal, O Lord, help us to heal . . .
In Washington, D.C. in particular, we come against the Spirit of fear that is being promulgated daily by our local news. Lord God, our citizens are now actually afraid to go out of their homes! Deliver us from this evil, O God, that we might yet be "the city on the hill" to a vast nation beyond . . .
Help us, O Lord, to come home to You. Help us, O Lord we pray, amen.
