How dare the current president of the United States “politicize” the anniversary of an attempt to overthrow what was about to be his incoming administration? Biden commemorated an attack, of course, that happened in the United States, where things like this don’t happen, or didn’t – until Lindsey and “his” president decided they did.

Lindsey dared to criticize Biden for doing exactly what Lindsey did a year ago, blaming the entire tragedy and outrage on Trump. Was there some other way to address it, Lindsey? What facts about January 6th have changed in a year except for the fact that there’s far more evidence it was coordinated? Or was this really “no one’s actual fault,” was it more like a tornado that formed due to a cold front moving down from Alberta clashing with warm most air coming up from the Gulf? Or was it a highly organized, highly “political,” attempt to seize command and control of the United States government and make elections meaningless?

Google defines politics as: The activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power.

There was no debate last January 6th, but there sure as hell was a “conflict” among parties having or hoping to achieve power that day. The Trump GOP tried to take power that the United States voter did not give them under the law. Is Biden supposed to “both sides” that, Lindsey?

While we have Lindsey’s attention, we would like to remind people that Donald Trump was not the only person who tried to influence the outcome of the Georgia election. It is nothing short of amazing that Lindsey Graham has not already tried to work out a deal with a federal prosecutor. After all, it was Graham who called the Georgia Sec. of State’s office and simply suggested that they lose some votes from the Atlanta area. You know, the votes from those people? Even Trump wasn’t that brazen.

So you can just imagine how this tweet went over:

What brazen politicization of January 6 by President Biden.

I wonder if the Taliban who now rule Afghanistan with al-Qaeda elements present, contrary to President Biden’s beliefs, are allowing this speech to be carried?

And fck if we know what the Taliban has to do with anything except for the fact that the MAGAs looked a lot like the Taliban in their attack on the Capitol.

Perhaps the commemoration wouldn’t have looked or sounded so “political” had Republicans shown up and showed some remorse. The problem is that only two Republicans showed up. Liz Cheney and her father, the two “ultimate Republicans” up and until Trump defined Republicanism as loyalty to Trump, they chose to come.

Yeah, Twitter had a lot to say:

So your party's attempt to overthrow democracy was a non-partisan event? Once you were a Senator, grudgingly respected by your opponents. Now you are a Trump Whore. Flee the country.

You, sir, are a brazen, partisan hack. You’re also a traitor and a coward.

I'm pretty sure Jan. 6th was politicized the moment your political base attempted to siege the Capitol with an intent to kill the Vice President.

you remain a top advisor to the man who lead the insurrection and who continues to defend it. all the rest is just chatter.

— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) January 6, 2022

You are an unpatriotic coward. Nothing more.

Dude, this is so dumb, I think we’d all let you just delete it and pretend ypu never posted it out of pity.

You had a year to come up with a deflection and thus was the one that made the cut?

Trump broke you. That must have been a helluva round of golf.

I’m old enough to remember when you, Lindsey Graham, illegally pressured Georgia election officials to throw away a lot of votes. How are you not in prison yet?

I want the audio of you squealing for your life from the safe room on Jan 6. Someone must have recorded you…

“Trump and I, we’ve had a hell of a journey. I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it. From my point of view, he’s been a consequential president, but today, first thing you’ll see. All I can say is a count me out. Enough is enough.” Lindsey Graham Speech January 6, 2021

— Outspoken (@Out5p0ken) January 6, 2022

A year ago he blamed Trump.

Today he calls it "politicization."

GOP leaders are singing a very different tune on January 6th vs. a year ago. Let's roll the tape:pic.twitter.com/WhzheLIyKZ https://t.co/joQ6ld7mO6
