Why are we not looking into [the protests], if we\u2019re going to talk about [the Capitol riot]? Why are we not looking into those things?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Del Rio went on to make the direct comparison again, laying out what he viewed to be a double standard between the way the George Floyd riots were addressed and the way January 6th was still at the forefront of the national conversation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cIt\u2019s kind of hard for me to say, I can realistically look at it. I see the images on TV, people\u2019s livelihoods are being destroyed, businesses are being burned down, no problem,\u201d Del Rio said. \u201cAnd then we have a dust-up at the Capitol, where nothing burned down, and we\u2019re going to make that a major deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Del Rio\u2019s comments come as the January 6th Committee prepares for hearings that will be broadcast live on most major cable networks \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/they-prefer-their-sedition-made-fresh-on-site-critics-rage-over-fox-news-plan-to-air-january-6th-committee-on-fox-business\/\">the exception being Fox News<\/a>, although Fox Business Network will carry full coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Several others have criticized the continued focus on the Capitol Hill riot as well, saying that the American people might be more concerned with inflation and other issues that are impacting them every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe View\u201d guest host Lindsey Granger made <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/all-right-i-heard-you-whoopi-shouts-down-conservative-guest-for-daring-to-say-americans-are-worried-about-inflation-not-jan-6\/\">that exact point<\/a> during Tuesday\u2019s broadcast, only to get shouted down by regular host Whoopi Goldberg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington Commanders defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio sparked backlash when he referred to the January 6th riot on Capitol Hill as a \u201cdust-up\u201d \u2014 and complained that those responsible for riots all across the country during the summer of 2020 were not held to the same standard.
