Well, that's because he's never acknowledged the insurrection as being such. Things there were never as bad as others have made them to be. A relatively innocent protester lost their life as a result of an overzealous and unnecessarily deadly Capitol Security person's response which has never been properly investigated. 
 
These aren't my thoughts mind you... just "channeling" the dark side.

You keep bringing up in several contexts this “unarmed protester” shot on January 6.

He was not aware she was unarmed. Threats had been made by those seeking to break through. It was an unfortunate tragedy, and, in hindsight, it could have been avoided, but, under the circumstances, she was not an innocent murdered by the Capitol Police.

There seems be plenty of "pretzel logic" (funny, I heard that term quite frequently from the trumpsters the past few days) from both parties.

Trumptsters jumping on this file case, after defending trump last year (i recall when the trump story broke, that many politicians will have these documents after serving...which neither side seemed willing to admit, depending on which story broke).
The right attacks against the Cap police officer who shot the invader, while defending cops who kill citizens who resist arrest. 

It would be a big step towards getting the people of this country back on a better track, if we could all just admit the obvious flaws from whichever team you're on., rather than defending them,. And step away from the sole focus on what's wrong with their side, rather than how do we fix the problems at hand. ..of course by providing solutions that are negotiable, with give and take. 



For the record, Biden is not 'my team' (and neither is trump!).  Also for the record: anyone found improperly holding classified documents should be investigated and probably punished. So far* what Biden (and cohorts yet to be determined) is nowhere near what trump did in scale/severity or audacity. Now, let's investigate them both and let the cards fall where they may. 

*- Long way to go and all, but until Biden is in court fighting subpoenas this is still 100:1 Trump: Biden.

As to not being seen as a card-carrying Communist by Kurt et al, I agree that the guy shot while carrying a plastic gun had it coming.  I'm against handguns, and think any carry (open or concealed ) is F*#&ing stupid...but you gotta know the rules for the home field if you're gonna play the game.  When you point something at people that looks like a gun and tell them to give you their money, you'd better be prepared for the response.

"How that could possibly happen ?  How could anyone be that irresponsible ?"  Joe Biden, September 16, 2022 on 60 minutes regarding Trump and his possession of classified documents.

Once again, a democrat is guilty of what they accuse others of doing.  This is the hallmark of the democratic party.  Has been forever.
