That is the most absurd & offensive thing yet. And of course they are all repeating this same crap on the MSM.

Left-wing ideologues on 20th anniversary of 9/11: The Capitol riot was worse
Give it a rest, just for one day.
Saturday marked the 20th anniversary of the day Islamic terrorists brutally murdered nearly 3,000 Americans, some of whom were crushed by the collapsing World Trade Center towers while others fell to their deaths or were burned alive.
It was a somber occasion, leaving many as angry as they were sad. However, not everyone treated the anniversary with the gravity it deserved.
Indeed, rather than pause their partisan activism for even 24 hours to mourn the dead, or at least allow the victims of the attacks to grieve in peace, certain left-wing activists continued this weekend to attack their conservative neighbors. Some even saw the 20th anniversary as a perfect opportunity to draw a straight line between the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and 9/11.
Never let a crisis go to waste, right?
“All of us should be able to unite around the idea that we're saving our democracy,” said NBC News’s so-called historian Michael Beschloss, referring to the passengers who rushed their hijackers on Sept. 11. “That's what those people were doing, those heroes were doing on Flight 93 and elsewhere 20 years ago tomorrow. Our democracy tonight is as much in danger, I think, as it was in 1860 before the Civil War and in 1940 before Pearl Harbor.”
He added, “The right to vote is being taken away from people in various states. The legitimacy of elections is being undermined. We could be in a situation where the congressional election next year, in which certain people are elected to congress who are deprived of taking office, and the same thing even when a president is elected in 2024. That's enormously dangerous. We need to follow in the footsteps of those heroes."
Elsewhere at MSNBC, Washington Post columnist and host Jonathan Capehart declared, “I think MAGA and the domestic terror threat is much more worrisome than any foreign threat we could face.”
Then, of course, there's reliably awful New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who wrote this weekend of the Republican Party’s behavior following the Sept. 11 attacks, “The Republican Party wasn’t yet full-on authoritarian, but it was willing to do whatever it took to get what it wanted, and disdainful of the legitimacy of its opposition. That is, we were well along on the road to the Jan. 6 putsch — and toward a G.O.P. that has, in effect, endorsed that putsch and seems all too likely to try one again.”
