Respectfully, I don't really see anyone saying that false accusations of fake news were cool. I'm concerned that you might be stuck in a mindset of partisan battle, where anyone who expresses concerns about this letter is declaring themselves to be on the other team from the people who wrote it.
Expressing concerns is great, and I support those comments. Reflecting on what you said, it’s true that pointing out an issue here does not imply political affiliation to either side, but it’s sorta funny how much more volume there is about this?
In terms of supporting racism, Specifically what I'm referring to are attempts to paint 1/6 as overblown or somehow was an acceptable event.
Framing is really important - people here are claiming the only "real" death was "an unarmed protestor", ignoring that the person was shot attempting to break down the door to where the members of the House were actively evacuating from; and that somehow the suicides after the event or the deaths from the stress during the event don't count as real deaths.
