One GOP senator fighting harder than anyone to block J6 pardons. (Go ahead. GUESS who it is.)
People have been locked in solitary confinement. Others have been locked up for years without court hearings. Front doors of residences have been kicked in by paramilitary police. Lives have been ruined.
Latin American or African banana republic? Nope, sorry. This is the capital city of *the land of the free, home of the brave.*
Meanwhile, there is credible video evidence out there showing: (1) some police antagonizing the crowd of protesters, and (2) other cops escorting protesters into the Capitol building and around through the interior like tour guides.
The Capitol Police fired into a peaceful crowd. No warnings were given

The US Department of Justice has thrown the book harder at people accepting police invitations to enter and tour the US Capitol than they ever have against: (1) Antifa rioters around the country, (2) Antifa rioters destroying DC during the 2017 inauguration, (3) Black Lives Matter rioters around the country, or (4) Antifa and BLM partaking in multiple assaults on the White House during the first Trump administration. Lots more blood and violence there than on January 6. But the folks on January 6 had — in the eyes of the *Justice Department* — the *wrong* politics. And they HAD to pay.
The DC Establishment – both parties — are doing their damnedest to ignore the events of January 6, 2021 and push them off the radar screen. *It appears things go soooooooo much easier politically for these worms if they simply pick up and run with the Democrat / drive-by media narrative about Trump supporters killing cops, storming the Capitol, and attempting a coup d’état.*
Right off the bat, the establishment ninnies who run the NC Republican Party fell in line with the DC establishment. US Senator F. Thom Tillis came right out of the gate with an attack on the J6ers — not even considering an investigation.
Michael Whatley – now running the Republican National Committee — ran his prissy self over to a leftist website to make sure they knew he was one of the first party chairman to denounce the January 6 protesters.
This week, while the GOP majority in the US Senate mulls over appointees for the second Trump administration, F. Thom Tillis was out and about doing what he does best:
President Trump’s triumphant return to the White House is just around the corner, bringing with it the promise of better days ahead. Among those people anxiously awaiting some much-needed changes are the J6 political prisoners, who’ve been persecuted and treated like prisoners in a North Korean regime. So, when you talk about pardons, many in MAGA believe that everybody, regardless of what they did, should get a blanket pardon. After all, the entire day was one big trap, carefully designed and cultivated to ensnare President Trump and his supporters.
J6 was such a staged and elaborate trap that many argue the violence was provoked by the Capitol Police and federal informants. If you fire into a crowd, what do you think is going to happen?[…]
Despite what the drive-by media and the Democrats try to tell you, NO COPS GOT KILLED on THAT DAY. We’ve all seen the video of unarmed protester Ashli Babbit being shot to death inside the Capitol by a policeman. Many of us have seen the video of the unconscious white woman being beaten to death — just outside one of the entrances to the Capitol building — by a black female officer. In either of those cases — if the races had been reversed – you’d have a political uproar like you’ve never seen or heard.
We’ve also seen video of Capitol cops turning high-powered firehoses and concussion grenades on the crowd of protesters. Concussion grenades are not meant to be aimed directly at a target. They’re meant to be detonated close by. A direct hit on a person can cause the target to catch fire. THAT happened to two male protesters in the crowd that day.
So, at least FOUR civilian deaths. (NO cop deaths that we can see.)
MORE:
[…] There is so much about J6 that hasn’t been answered, and many of our politicians aren’t asking enough questions.
As a matter of fact, one GOP Senator is fighting extra hard to make sure J6 pardons are few and far between.
It’s the Republican Senator from North Carolina, still pushing the left-wing narrative that Trump supporters were evil, violent, and attacked police without any provocation.
We wonder: how does Tillis feel about Ashli Babbitt—an unarmed veteran—being shot to death by a cop with a long history of safety infractions? Oddly enough, Thom didn’t bother to bring her up during the hearing. Go figure, right?
Meanwhile, to deflect from his weak stance on J6 pardons, Senator Tillis is now trying to score some brownie points by touting his support for Trump’s nominees. He’s even waving around a recent Breitbart article as proof that he’s all-in for America First.
“Senator Tillis has been focused on reviewing the nominees in his committees of jurisdiction and making sure they get fair hearings, and he is working on making sure Pam Bondi and Kash Patel get through the Senate Judiciary Committee and get confirmed on the floor,” Tillis spokesman Daniel Keylin told Breitbart News on Wednesday. “Senator Tillis trusts his Republican colleagues to ensure that all of President Trump’s nominees get a fair confirmation process, and any nominee that gets a favorable vote out of committee will get the Senator’s vote on the floor.”
Here’s the thing: Tillis and the rest of the GOP don’t deserve “gold stars” for supporting their Republican president and his agenda. That should go without saying. He’s not doing us some incredible favor by backing Trump and his nominees—it’s what the American people demand and what he’s paid to do. […]
We need to understand what really happened on January 6, 2021. There were significant missteps by law enforcement on the scene and by some protesters. The DOJ went way overboard with its response to the activities that day.
We need to understand how to ensure nothing close to it ever happens again.
A national group is running radio ads in 5 states urging people to call their senators to vote for Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary. North Carolina is one of them. This clearely means they don’t trust Tillis on that key vote. That means we should melt the phone lines to Tillis’ to support Hegseth.
Triad businessman announced he’s running in GOP primary against Tillis.
Andy Nilsson, a businessman who’s active in Republican politics, filed paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission declaring his intention to run for the seat.
Tillis MUST be primaried, he most definitely has proven he is one of the biggest swamp creatures in DC! NC also needs to make sure he NEVER runs for any office in NC or any other State!
We need ONE strong challenger to Tillis. After those scumbag Undocumented Democrats Phil Berger and Tim Moore butchered our primary law to allow someone with a miserable 30% to avoid a runoff, we cannot afford mutliple challengers. Berger and Tillis did this to try to rig our primaries in favor of incumbents and against conservatives.
NEVER TILLIS
NEVER BERGER
anyone in Triad know/verify Nilsson?
NEEDS to be solid. IF not, move on and find another candidate.
I am Andy Nilsson, running for Senate against Tillis. I am: firmly pro-2A, pro-deport illegals, pro-shut down the Dept of Education, anti-climate change activism, pro-life, anti-more Ukraine $, pro-slash spending. I am a Mike Lee, Chip Roy America First Conservative. I have been a conservative for forty years since I first registered to vote. I supported other primary candidates than Trump, but so did JD Vance, Elon Musk and others. I never criticized Trump personally, never worked against him, and voted for him every November. I will be a solid, reliable America First Conservative who follows Trump’s lead. He is the leader of the party and our President. http://www.andynilsson.com
I think it’s important that you tell the electorate why you have not always been on team America First, but supported Chris Christie, then Nikki Haley in the Primaries. Why did you favor them over Trump?
As I’ve stated before – it seems like the UNIPARTY Rs run a familiar play when the base gets fed up with their RINO incumbent. They run another one who wears a mask, pretending to be what they’re not, then their true agenda comes out after they win the General Election.
I’m not an “anyone’s better than Tillis” kind of voter because sometimes we just get Tillis 2.0.
I’m also interested in your thoughts on releasing and pardoning the J6 prisoners.
Thank you for addressing this – for full transparency.
Signed,
Tired of getting duped
Good questions. Had the same concern. NOT voting ‘anyone’ just because a R behind their name.
I supported Christie in 2016 because he was a good governor of NJ. Trump liked him so much that he put him in his first Cabinet. I supported Haley in 2023 because she was a good, conservative Governor of SC. By your logic, JD Vance should never have been considered because he did not support Trump in primaries. He was highly critical of Trump personally, whereas I have never been. Your criticisms echo those from the Tillis campaign. Everyone should be wary of Tillis plants in the grassroots movement, they are out there.
Anyone who has ever read the WTP articles knows for a fact I’m not a Tillis plant. My history of linking RINO Whatley to Traitor Thom is long and indisputable. Can’t stand either of them.
The veiled accusation that I’m a Tillis plant doesn’t offend me because it’s easily proven to be a lie.
What it does do is reveal you’re willing to spread a false accusation against someone doing her due diligence for the purpose of furthering your political agenda.
You should come up with a better talking point (I’m no different from Elon Musk) well, he put his money where his mouth was. His words grew feet. ACTION, not words.
As for JD Vance, he still needs to prove his loyalty, imo.
I don’t listen to promises (words) spoken by candidates anymore. Words, just words.
Candidate who are seeking positions of power to make laws which govern our lives should fully understand – and empathize with – voters who no longer trust the words and promises of people seeking office, not accuse them of being a Tillis plant. Just sayin.
And you didn’t answer the question about J6. Can you provide screenshots of posts or videos of speeches in which you have been standing with the J6 political prisoners?
Carol, I believe you just outed someone I had no intention of supporting.
To go off handle accusing you of being Tillis plant? BIG RED FLAG.
Glad you’ve already shown us some facts, Carol! Well done!
I heard an America First candidate may file up run against Tillis.
We clearly need one conservative vs Tillis in the Primary. The person who files first isn’t anointed as the grassroots’ choice. The candidates need to be asked under what conditions will they will STEP ASIDE to allow the Rs to oust Tillis.
We can’t afford to have candidates pulling a Haley move by overstaying their welcome and sucking up the donations, We must unify to send Tillis home.
AMEN!
Let’s make an American First candidate possible.
Recall how Dr Brannon was THE CANDIDATE, the CONSERVATIVE and look how that position has ended?
Thanks again for connecting dots and asking the RIGHT questions.
Brannon was a libertarian, period. He didn’t lift a finger in 12 when asked to help with the NC ballot initiative. I will oppose a libertarian not standing for pro life and pushing marriage contrary to the Bible. Rush said many times if you abandon the social issues you’ll get what happened st the Cathedral she who preached that NPR incorrectly called a he.
J-6 was all part of the Virus ploy to take down Trump with absentee ballots. It gave Cooper and Stein their victories. They’re all connected!
