Our innocent way of life was the target on September 11th (like any terrorist attack). The temple of our democracy was the target on January 6th.
Osama bin laden led orchestrated the attacks of September 11th. The President of the United States orchestrated the January 6th insurrection to overturn a free and fair election for which he was duty bound to deliver.
September 11th united us. January 6th continues to divide us (see ongoing GOP state legislatures’ efforts to suppress votes and rig vote counts).
Truth was alive and well on September 11th. Truth was a dead man walkin’ on January 6th.
The World sympathized with us on September 11th. After January 6th, the World will never again look at us as “the bright shining city on the hill.”
Our hearts wept on September 11th. But, January 6th was far more destructive to our nation.
I walk nothing back. Because I am right.
