Where this idea you just watch this, I can\u2019t believe you have thousands of people overrunning our government like that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats frequently invoke the January 6 riots on the campaign trail even though the event ranks low on the list of concerns facing voters. A Harvard\/Harris <a href=\"https:\/\/harvardharrispoll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/HHP_Oct2022_KeyResults.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poll<\/a> published last month found that just 7 percent of respondents said the riot was the most important issue facing the country. The economy, inflation, immigration, and crime ranked higher on the list of voter concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman came under fire earlier in the campaign for a pro-abortion event <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/fetterman-to-hold-pro-abortion-rally-on-9-11-with-anti-cop-activist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he held<\/a> on September 11 with an activist who supports the movement to defund police. Seventy-one law enforcement officers died in the line of duty on 9\/11, mostly at the World Trade Center.<\/p>\n<p>With his latest remarks, Fetterman carries on a long tradition of Democrats invoking the 9\/11 terrorist attacks to events that were far less significant in American history. Failed Kentucky Senate candidate Amy McGrath <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/dem-congressional-candidate-amy-mcgrath-compares-trumps-election-victory-9-11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in 2017 she felt similar to 9\/11 after Donald Trump\u2019s election. Disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok, whose anti-Trump text messages got him fired from the bureau, <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/watch-disgraced-fbi-agent-says-9-11-is-nothing-compared-to-january-6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> last month that &#8220;9\/11 is nothing compared to January 6&#8221; in terms of its &#8220;threat to democracy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman also made an inaccurate claim about his opponent Mehmet Oz\u2019s position on the January 6 riots. Fetterman asserted that Oz has echoed Trump\u2019s call to pardon &#8220;all&#8221; of the rioters charged with breaching the Capitol to protest the presidential election results. In truth, Oz has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/oz-says-he-would-have-certified-the-2020-election-results-for-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> he would have certified the 2020 election results and has not called for pardons for the rioters.<\/p>\n<p>Five people, including four Trump supporters, died at the Capitol or in the immediate aftermath of the riots. Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick died of a stroke a day after the siege. Three Trump supporters died from medical complications.
