Video footage has resurfaced showing Vice President Kamala Harris making a comparison between the events of January 6, 2021, and the terrorist attacks of 9/11. In the video, Harris can be heard listing the Capitol riots alongside 9/11 and the attack on Pearl Harbor as significant moments in our country’s history. This comparison has sparked controversy and backlash from users on X, who mocked Harris for equating the two events.
This controversial statement comes as Harris attended the 9/11 ceremony in New York City, representing President Joe Biden, who notably became the first sitting president in 22 years to skip the event. Instead, Biden traveled to Alaska to meet with first responders at a smaller ceremony. This absence has raised eyebrows and led to speculation about the president’s priorities.
Since taking office, the Biden administration and Democrats in Congress have been using their positions of power, along with the support of the Justice Department, to amplify the significance of the J6 protests and impose harsh sentences on those involved. The recent sentencing of Proud Boys leaders to decades in prison has brought attention to the lengthy punishments being handed down. While an enhanced terrorism charge was granted in these cases, the presiding judge acknowledged that the leaders did not have intent to kill or cause mass casualties. Despite this, sentences were still delivered based on the recommendations from prosecutors.

The pressure from Democratic lawmakers, including Harris, to link the J6 riots to previous tragic events has put companies like Liberty Safe under increased scrutiny. This scrutiny includes granting the FBI access to the gun safe of a J6 participant and the conditions faced by defendants in jail while awaiting trial. Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has taken a stand against this treatment, leading tours of jails and advocating for better treatment of Americans who are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
It is important to note that these comparisons also have political implications, particularly for former President Donald Trump. Trump is currently facing charges related to his statements and actions surrounding the J6 protests, which some argue echo the charges brought during the Civil War era. The involvement of Biden’s DOJ special counsel, Jack Smith, has led to questions about the motivations behind these charges and the potential bias against Trump.
In conclusion, Vice President Kamala Harris’s comparison between the events of January 6, 2021, and the terrorist attacks of 9/11 has sparked controversy and drawn criticism. This statement, made at the 9/11 ceremony while President Biden was absent, has raised questions about the administration’s priorities. The push to link the J6 riots to other tragic events has resulted in harsh sentences for some participants, with implications for gun manufacturers like Liberty Safe and concerns about defendants’ jail conditions. Additionally, the comparisons have political ramifications, particularly for former President Donald Trump, who is facing charges reminiscent of those from the Civil War era.
