Remember when some people criticized the Affordable Care Act because they thought it was “socialist” medicine? We were surprised to find that even some Democrats were critical of the law as well, but not for the same reasons: They thought it didn’t quite go far enough to be considered beneficial for everyone.

It turns out there’s a similar situation with the January 6th right-wing insurrection at the Capitol, only in reverse. Most of those who criticize it do so because it was at least unpatriotic and at worst violently treasonous. But apparently, there are those who believe that the riots didn’t achieve what they hoped for because they weren’t “serious” enough.

That’s the case with chronically wrong former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke. He’s the cowboy hat-wearing Trumper famous for overseeing jails where pregnant women were shackled during labor and other inmates lost their lives due to thirst. THIRST.

Over the weekend, Clarke was a speaker at a QAnon convention in Las Vegas called “For God & Country: Patriot Double Down,” which already sounds like a gathering of people who are definitely not sorry about trashing our nation’s capital and threatening the lives of lawmakers.

QAnon, of course, is the cult-like group that believes that Donald Trump was destined to overthrow a satanic group of ped*philes who eat babies and operate a global child s*x trafficking network. We wish that were hyperbole, but every word of that sentence is true.

To even address such a group unironically already proves you’re unfit to be part of the national conversation about anything serious to begin with. But Clarke took it a step further. Calling the siege nothing more than a “frat party,” the former lawman told the crowd:

Ladies and gentlemen, that was not an insurrection. If we decide to pull an insurrection, you’re gonna know it. There’s very little you’re going to be able to do about it.

The only thing I had against what happened at the Capitol on January 6, if you’re going to pull a political movement, you’ve got to have three elements: It has to be serious, it’s got to be well-planned and it’s got to be disciplined.

That’s it, David — tell them they did it wrong because they weren’t militant enough.

This guy is taking about what not to do next time they’re going to do it.

Leave the flags and guillotines props at home — coz that would not be serious enough he says. Then goes on to tell them to show up with 100k people and surround the DOJ.

The insurrection was intended to interrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral victory just a few weeks prior. So far, numerous attendees have been arrested and some already prosecuted in the ill-fated overthrow attempt that most believe was encouraged (if not masterminded) by Trump himself.

With prominent figures continuing to encourage that behavior, even telling would-be rioters how to do it more effectively, there’s little doubt we’ll see more attacks just like we saw before Biden was sworn in.

Sheriff Clarke believes the insurrection was more a Frat Party.
