In a recently discovered video, numerous protestors are depicted invading the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s budget reconciliation markup, voicing their opposition to non-existent cuts to Medicare. The Democrats took advantage of the situation by expressing gratitude towards the protestors, despite their perilous and unlawful behavior.
For context, since the events of January 6, Democrats have regarded that date as a national day of mourning. However, in the instance where Democratic protestors stormed the Capitol, Democrats praised the demonstrators instead of reacting with alarm.
This was illustrated in a post dated May 13, 2025, on X, formerly known as Twitter, by Libs of TikTok, who stated, “BREAKING: Democrat protesters stormed the Rayburn Building and staged an insurrection in DC today.” Following this, the conservative influencer added a sarcastic remark, saying, “I’m shaking. This is worse than Pearl Harbor and 9/11.”
In the comments section of the post, conservatives expressed their outrage at the footage, as evidenced by one comment that read, “Arrest them all, starve them, make them sleep on the floor, don’t give them a lawyer and lock them in solitary confinement with no charges for at least two years. It’s a fair country. What goes around, comes around, right?”
Speculating on the underlying motivations, one commenter suggested, “They did it as a dare to Republicans to have them arrested. They know weak and spineless Republicans won’t use the police to clear them out because photos of people in wheelchairs being arrested would be the lead story from every media outlet.” Expanding on this idea, another commenter remarked, “We cannot continue to dismiss every violent protest they engage in. When a Democratic president assumes power again, do you believe they will show leniency towards Republicans? Absolutely not.
Highlighting the hypocrisy of the Democrats, a conservative remarked, “The only insurrection occurring is the one that the left continues to instigate with their irrational actions. These so-called ‘protesters’ must be held accountable for their behavior.” Echoing a similar sentiment, another response stated, “Why is there a lack of coverage regarding the fraudulent indictments from the J6 panel? Ignoring their auto pen pardons, the entire Pelosi-orchestrated panel should be imprisoned.
Frustrated, one comment expressed, “This appears to be a breach of fire safety regulations. Where is the fire marshal? The same applies to obstructing highways, which could hinder emergency medical vehicles. The laws seem to only apply to us, the rational citizens.
Demanding severe penalties, another response declared, “Arrest each and every one of them. Imprison them without trials. Deny them legal representation; just throw them in jail. After all, fairness is fairness.” Expanding on this notion, another comment added, “They ought to be incarcerated; let SWAT teams apprehend them as well. This is the most revered place of our democracy, and is this how it is conducted?”
Watch the intense protest here:
Concluding the remarks, one user humorously remarked, “No, this cannot be accurate. This must refer to those insurrectionists from January 6th. You know, the Trump supporters who received prison sentences for a largely peaceful demonstration. No, these are Democrat insurrectionists who are not behaving peacefully, and the Capitol Police took no action, resulting in no arrests. Quite intriguing!”
