Was January 6th an “Insurrection?”

Investment strategist and energy analyst Robert Rapier writes this about what conservative journalist Brit Hume tweeted at left: “Rarely do tweets age so poorly, so quickly. Brit Hume tweeted this early this morning. Three hours later, the DOJ charged 11 people with seditious conspiracy over the riot.”

It’s strange how we like to quibble with words when it comes to January 6th.  Was it an example of domestic terrorism?  An insurrection?

Well, call it what you will.  More than 1000 people broke into the U.S. Capitol, beating people up, with the intention of overturning the 2020 presidential election.  Five people died.

I don’t think we need another word for all this, but if you do, please be my guest.
