Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Coullors, a self-avowed Marxist, claims that there was a double standard regarding how BLM rioters were treated, as opposed to Capitol rioters.
This is despite the fact that four people, including an unarmed women, were killed on Wednesday, and police have arrested and are charging many.
The Capitol Hill Police Chief has stepped down amid the debacle.
"We have to come to terms about who this country truly protects and who it does not," said Coullors, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
"The word I keep using is "disturbed." I’m really disturbed by how far we’ve allowed white supremacist violence to reign in this country. And I was the most disturbed by the double standard."
"I’ve spent the last 20 years being a protestor, a community organizer, and, in the last seven years, supporting and helming the protest movement that is called Black Lives Matter, and we’ve experienced military, National Guard, militarized police, rubber bullets and tear gas at protests which are largely peaceful and protests that are talking about racial injustice and the fight for Black lives. "
"And so, to watch mostly white people, white men, storm the U.S. Capitol with no consequence or accountability was shocking. We have to come to terms in this country about who this country truly protects and who it does not."
Even President-elect Joe Biden got in on the act.
"No one can tell me that if it had been a group of Black Lives Matter protesting yesterday, they wouldn’t have been treated very, very differently from the mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol. We all know that’s true and it’s unacceptable. Totally unacceptable.", said Biden in a speech.
