Mike Lindell: Stand Firm During This Historic Week

Entrepreneur, devout believer and strong supporter of President Donald J. Trump, MyPillow founder Mike Lindell said, “Let everyone know—don’t worry—Donald J. Trump will be president for four more years.”

The astonishing comment is balanced by the dramatic difference between what people witnessed in Washington, D.C. Jan. 6, both during the rally of nearly 1 million people and the subsequent march to the Capitol.

First, it is important to understand the context of how things happen in Washington, D.C. The so-called “occupation” of the Capitol—ranging from surrounding it, to occupying hallways, to taking over individual offices and literally whole areas of the Capitol with hundreds of demonstrators—is routine. Capitol Police are well trained and capable of balancing First Amendment rights with basic safety.

Just recently, many people complained to Capitol Police that, even during the virus situation, a large liberal group entered and conducted a sit-in in the Capitol. Often, leftist groups like this are allowed to protest with the support of radical members of Congress, and the police are very professional.

The practice honors the First Amendment, and police don’t intervene unless protesters refuse to leave when ultimately told to do so. In that case, they are gently arrested and always released on their own recognizance.

After nearly a year of leftist demonstrations that burned, destroyed and violently attacked people, it is totally biased against believers and conservatives for last week’s events to have been handled the way they were.

The day was peaceful, with police letting people in to both the Capitol grounds as well as to the Capitol itself, with some scuffles as the police tried to control the crowds so they would enter safely. There was a clear presence of antifa-related thugs who tried to break the glass of windows, which was completely unnecessary as the doors were being opened, albeit carefully so there would not be a rush of the crowds.

It is biased against believers and conservatives that the one time they stood up and participated in their constitutionally guaranteed right to petition their representatives, that event was hijacked by leftist radicals to derail the very investigation the president’s supporters were asking for. Congressional refusal to even investigate the fraudulent election frustrated many and even symbolized the ultimate betrayal people felt when Vice President Mike Pence refused to stand up for their rights to have their votes honored.

This also reveals the overwhelming hypocrisy of Congress, who passively watched a nearly year-long rampage of violence, plunder and murder by antifa and Black Lives Matter supporters but then arose in objection and persecution the one time the godly men and women finally stood up and said, “No more.”
