Topic: Lafayette Square

Security barricades have returned to Washington, D.C., in anticipation of leftist riots following the abortion ruling leak. Shroyer contrasts the lack of violence at Trump rallies with the 2020 riots in Lafayette Square. He also mocks Hillary Clinton for her appearance at the Met Gala and criticizes Bernie Sanders for calling to end the filibuster to codify abortion rights.

A comparison is drawn between the January 6th Capitol event and the 2020 protests in Washington D.C., including the fires at St. John's Church and Lafayette Square. Police testimony regarding the violence of January 6th is challenged by referencing previous leftist riots and the 2017 inauguration protests. The narrative claims the media ignores historical violence to frame January 6th as an unprecedented dark day in human history.

Smith criticizes General Milley for apologizing for his presence at Lafayette Square with President Trump in 2020. He notes that an investigation later proved the claim that the area was cleared with tear gas for a photo op was a lie. Smith calls Milley a "coward" for agonizing over media lies and failing to defend the military's role in protecting the President during what he describes as an actual insurrection by the left.

The defense raises questions about the security posture at the Capitol, citing a letter from D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser discouraging additional federal law enforcement deployment on January 5th. It is suggested that political pressure following the Lafayette Square events prevented proper security measures. The segment argues that the criminals who infiltrated the Capitol should be punished, but the blame should not lie with the President.
