Democrats quaking in their boots and slippers at home, rather than behind a razor-edged fence in the Capitol and a 10,000-member strong National Guard presence, need the masses to believe that they were at risk from another Jan. 6, 2021 type breach of the Capitol today.
The Dems desperately need folk to believe this spin mainly because they have to somehow come up with more credence for the misleading spectre that over-zealous Donald Trump supporters sent them fleeing in fear from their offices on what they repeatedly call ‘Insurrection’ Day.
This is the gist of the story they’re telling through the media for what they expect to happen between today and March 6: ‘The deplorables are coming for us a second time, so we’re not going to be on duty at Congress today.’“The federal force charged with protecting Congress is "aware of and prepared for any potential threats towards members of Congress or towards the Capitol complex," the statement says. (NPR) "We have already made significant security upgrades to include establishing a physical structure and increasing manpower to ensure the protection of Congress, the public and our police officers," the statement says, adding that the force is "working with our local, state, and federal partners to stop any threats to the Capitol." “The Senate plans to remain in session on Thursday to debate amendments to the COVID-19 relief bill."
“March 4 is a significant date for far-right conspiracy theorists who believe that former President Donald Trump will return to power on that day. Presidents were inaugurated on March 4 until 1933, after which the 20th Amendment to the Constitution moved the date to Jan. 20.” (NPR)Does anyone other than Q-Anon followers believe that?!
“The threat comes nearly two months after extremist Trump supporters broke into the Capitol, forcing lawmakers and the vice president to flee moments ahead of an angry mob. The insurrection resulted in the deaths of several people and the arrest of more than 250.” (NPR)The Dems and media can continue to blame the insurrection on Trump “extremists” now that FBI Director Christopher Wray maintains that there were no Antifa activists dressed like Trump “extremists” on Jan. 6. It’s a never-ending story so long as the Dems want to pin the tail on the wrong donkey. Talk about pinning the tail on the wrong donkey: Dem Sen. Padilla: As Long as Trump, GOP Push 'the Big Lie' We Face 'Real Imminent Danger of Extremists’ (Breitbart, March 3, 2021)

“During Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN Newsroom,” Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) warned that if former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party continue to perpetuate “the big lie,” the nation will continue to face “the real imminent danger of extremists.” “CNN’s Jim Sciutto asked the freshman California U.S. Senator if he shared concerns with his colleagues about threats from extremist groups. “Look, I absolutely do share them,” Padilla replied. “Many reasons for why we’ve seen the rise of domestic violent extremism in recent years. But let me share this, Jim — for the last six years, I served as California’s secretary of state overseeing elections in the most populous, diverse state in the nation but active with my colleagues around the country. And we know the January 6 insurrection was all premised on the big lie — the big lie that Donald Trump continues to perpetuate, most recently this weekend at the CPAC conference.” “He added, “So, as long as they are perpetuating the big lie and other disinformation, we have not just the threat of violence but the real imminent danger of extremists in the nation’s Capitol and throughout in the nation. So, you can’t take this too seriously.”
