GOP Rep: It was a black police officer that shot the white female veteran.

[RandySF]

Newly seated Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) deleted his personal Twitter account after posting tweets minimizing last week's deadly riot at the Capitol and promoting baseless claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

“[W]e have more arrests for stealing a podium on Jan. 6th than we do for stealing an election on November 3rd,” Moore said in one tweet, referencing the arrest of Adam Johnson, who was arrested after photographed carrying Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) lectern out of the Capitol building on Wednesday.

“Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Detroit would be places I recommend you start,” Moore added.

The Alabama Republican also claimed “it was a black police officer that shot the white female veteran,” referencing Ashli Babbit, a rioter who was shot and killed while attempting to force her way into the House chamber as part of the mob attack.

Moore’s account was first suspended and then self-deactivated, according to AL.com. His chief of staff told the publication that the lawmaker deactivated his own account after the suspension “because of the censorship of conservative voices he saw happening.”

1. Swhat a horrid bastard, she's a vet now and not someone aiding breaking and entering

[OnDoutside]

2. The only positive point about this, is that they're not even trying to hide their racism any more.

[Captain Zero]

3. Another one who should not be attending the Inauguration

I'm serious. He sounds too dangerous to be around Biden and Harris.

[WePurrsevere]

4. Representatives who pull bs like this are traitors and...

should have official action taken against them.

Unfortunately because the majority of RepubliCons have no real backbone and are not true 'patriots' for this country or for the constitution, there's not enough votes for expulsion but in a country where true justice reigned anti-American filth like this would be.

[JI7]

5. These racist trash should get more attention and other Republicans should be asked if they agree

with them .

[Pool Hall Ace]

6. So a Black officer was doing his job

while White officers were allowing the terrorists access to our Capitol and posing for selfies. What is Moore’s point?

[Paladin]

18. +1000. (nt)

[Solly Mack]

7. Another insurrectionist that has gained access to the government to cause damage from the inside.

Not all of the insurrectionists were those storming the building. Some were already inside - like Moore, Greene, Boebert, Hawley, Gaetz, Graham, Cruz, etc..

[UpInArms]

8. Censorship of conservative voices?

I guess that conservatives should be allowed to lie, defame, incite, slander, libel and threaten with impunity.

These shitspewing vacuous holes of conspiracy theories are Frankenstenian monsters.

[LittleGirl]

30. +1 nt

[KayF]

9. interesting angle

making this into the knockout game.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Only a racist thinks race matters when the criminal was shot Breaking & Entering a secure area. nt

[mgardener]

11. Good riddance

To bad rubbish
What an obnoxious man.

[Takket]

12. It's amazing how much I keep hearing from censored voices in the media

[Swamp Country Po Boy]

13. Any Relation to ROY Moore?

Sick minds don't fall far from the Yeehaw Tree.

[wnylib]

26. Probably not related. It's a very common name.

[madaboutharry]

14. We need a law that prevents Confederates from being seated in Congress.

This idiot should find a time machine so he can go back in time to the Antebellum south, where he obviously wishes he lived.

[Martin Eden]

15. "Conservative voices"

"Conservative" now means lying and seditious.

[elias7]

16. I don't understand why more weren't shot

They weren’t defending the capitol, they were overrun and failed to defend it

[eShirl]

17. That officer is a HERO, as are many others.

[OldBaldy1701E]

19. Yeah

More like he deleted the account to make sure it didn't come back to bite him, but like most people of his kind, cannot seem to fathom that anything put out on the interwebs is permanent. It is why I used to preach and preach to the kids at the school about wariness of posting anything because it will be there forever, regardless of what any site may tell you about deletions and whatnot. However, in some cases, this lack of understanding can be very beneficial to those of us who will take great pride in reminding these MAGAts of their treason and their accessory to that fact.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

20. Disgraced veteran turned terrorist killed. ...

Heroic action by a police officer protects legislators from possible assassins.

There’s your headline Moore

[Jon King]

21. That officer saved a lot of lives....

because had the mob gotten through, they would have killed many.

The tough guys were all pounding on the glass and threatening to kill whoever was inside. The brave (and crazy) one was the lady vet who after being brainwashed, still was brave enough to go through first. The fake tough guys all quieted down when she got shot.

Black beanie boy who chased the hero cop up the stairs is very lucky to be alive. In most cases he would have been killed first to send a message to the crowd not to come up those stairs.

[gab13by13]

32. Well said, I was about to post the same.

This officer was a hero. It's called by many on the right, Stand Your Ground Laws.

[RealityCheque]

22. Why is it that so many of the elected lunatics like this...

come from Alabama? Honestly, Mo Brooks contributed to the anger at the insurrection, Tuberville was taking calls from the president while the insurrection was going on.

WTF is in the drinking water in the crimson state?

[oldsoftie]

23. Who cares. They should've shot MORE of them.

Thats what you do when there's a home invasion. Which is exactly what was happening.
ETA: I guarantee you if the first ones thru the doors had been taken out, the rest would've fled like roaches.

[twodogsbarking]

24. Women attempting to kill members of Congress

stopped by patriot at the risk of his own life. Better headline.

[sinkingfeeling]

25. Alabama, do you really like how Mo Brooks and this goon represent you

to the world?
Now add Tuberville to the list.

[dawn5651]

31. she seized to be a veteran the moment she joined the mob that attacked the capitol.get it right she

is a traitor to the oath that she swore to protect and defend.

[obamanut2012]

33. The hand holding the pistol was white

Although, I could be mistaken, so I am open to correction.

Not that it matters, but THEY LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING JUST TO DO IT.

[cwydro]

34. Since we don't have any valid account of who shot the traitor, why post GOP lies here?

[oasis]

35. Rep. Barry Moore (R) Alabama. What kind of district elects such scum?

[mainer]
