Very odd article from the Wall Street Journal

 

The Reichstag Fire Isn’t the Example Gen. Milley Wants

 

One of the stranger aspects of Gen. Mark Milley’s outburst is his apparent assumption that Nazis set the Reichstag Fire (“Gen. Milley Reminisces About the Battle of the Beltway” by Gerard Baker, Free Expression, July 20). The consensus of historians is that a lone Dutch Communist, Marinus van der Lubbe, was responsible. But what the Nazis did next was worse. They claimed that the fire had been a vast plot to topple the state, and used the lie to crush their political opponents. This makes the fire precisely the wrong precedent to cite for those who have spent months screaming that the Jan. 6 riot was an “insurrection.”

Rep. Hank Johnson arrested at ‘Black Voters Matter’ protest for voting rights

 

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) was arrested Thursday at a voting rights protest on Capitol Hill, making him the second Democratic member of Congress in a week to be detained while demonstrating in support of federal voting legislation.

 

Johnson had been attending a “Brothers Day of Action on Capitol Hill” protest organized by the nonprofit group Black Voters Matter. Video footage from the event showed Johnson and others linking arms and lined up outside the Hart Senate Office Building, chanting “Hey, hey! Ho, ho! The filibuster has got to go!” The peaceful protest was filmed by several journalists, who later captured Johnson and several other activists being handcuffed and detained.

 

U.S. Capitol Police confirmed they arrested 10 people Thursday for “unlawfully demonstrating outside of the Hart Senate Office Building,” and charged them all with “crowding, obstructing or incommoding.” All have since been processed and released, police said.

 

Johnson’s office confirmed the congressman was among those arrested Thursday, and that he had been protesting “voter suppression bills and laws throughout the country, including Georgia, that target students, the elderly and people of color.”
