D.C. Metropolitan Police officer Daniel Hodges on Tuesday painted a vivid and emotional picture of the rioters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, calling them "terrorists" and describing how unusual it was that they waved Christian imagery and Thin Blue Line flags.
Why it matters: Hodges was one of four police officers who testified at the first hearing of the Jan. 6 select committee. Harrowing video footage from the day of the riot shows how he was violently attacked and crushed against a Capitol door by the pro-Trump mob.
What he's saying: "The sea of people was punctuated throughout by flags. Mostly variations of American flags and Trump flags. There was Gadsden flags. It was clear the terrorists perceived themselves to be Christians. I saw the Christian flag directly to my front, and another had 'Jesus is my savior, Trump is my president.' Another, 'Jesus is king,'" Hodges said.

The repairs were done on taxpayers' dime.

here we go. Xtian white terrorists.. the demonization stage of testimony"The sea of people was punctuated throughout by flags. Mostly variations of American flags and Trump flags.

were they ALL Christian? the cop implies that
were they all terrorist? = I dont buy a riot being a terrorist attack
But I bet my last dime there are going to be sentencing enhancements for "terrorism"
( even though Soros prosecutors like LA have dropped enhanced sentencing)

Hello AProudLefty,
The first felony case was sentenced. The insurrectionist was non-violent, swept up in the mob, went inside. He got 8 months and has to pay $2000 for damages.
Of course, it will cost tax payers way more than that to keep him in lock-down.
Oh btw. Those who think COVID measures were 'lock downs?' I call BS.

America is probably responsible for more fake Christianity than most countries.
“The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. An individual in a crowd is a grain of sand amid other grains of sand, which the wind stirs up at will.”
