A mob of radical leftists invaded the U.S. Capitol today, violently protesting President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, which includes necessary reforms to cut wasteful Medicaid spending. But while the liberal media downplays this as a peaceful demonstration, the double standard in justice is glaring. Where was the same outrage as January 6? Where are the FBI raids, the years-long prison sentences, and the media hysteria branding these leftists as “insurrectionists”?
The hypocrisy is staggering. CNBC, like much of the left-wing press, framed the arrests as a minor inconvenience, reporting:
“U.S. Capitol Police arrested more than 30 protesters on Wednesday, including some in wheelchairs, during a demonstration against the proposed Medicaid cuts in President Donald Trump’s budget bill.”

Notice the soft language—“protesters” instead of “rioters,” “demonstration” instead of “insurrection.” Compare that to the relentless demonization of J6 patriots, who were immediately labeled domestic terrorists by the same media apparatus. Capitol Police confirmed that these leftists were arrested for “crowding, obstructing, or incommoding,” yet there’s no mention of federal sedition charges, no calls for maximum sentences, and no Nancy Pelosi-led witch hunts.

Going to be VERY instructive to see what sentences are handed down here. https://t.co/7wmSPXkeTa

The Capitol Police spokesperson even downplayed the incident, stating:
“It is against the law to protest inside the Congressional Buildings… There are other places on Capitol Grounds where people can lawfully demonstrate without issue.”
Imagine if this leniency had been extended to Trump supporters. Instead, J6 defendants have faced solitary confinement, politically motivated prosecutions, and a weaponized DOJ—all while the left’s rioters get a free pass.
Can't wait for all the people who demanded the pardons for the J6 nutballs to demand that these people also get pardons.
Stop laughing. https://t.co/W7F5veYV1U

President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill is a bold step toward fiscal responsibility, cutting bloated entitlements and redirecting funds to hardworking Americans. Yet, the radical left would rather mob the Capitol than accept commonsense reforms. Where is the liberal media’s condemnation? Where are the primetime specials on CNN decrying this “attack on democracy”?
This is the moment for our justice system to prove it’s not a two-tiered operation. Will these leftist protesters face real consequences, or will the Biden-era DOJ continue its partisan protection racket? The American people are watching.
