Mayr attended the rally then President Trump held before the riot, and she was near the Capitol as it stormed.<\/p>\n<p>As the host and comedian began discussing January 6, Mayr said that the rally she witnessed was nothing like what was portrayed by the media. Describing her experience of the Trump rally beforehand, Mayr said: \u201cIt was, like, mostly the most chill thing ever. It was like people had blankets and picnics and families and costumes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelly then broke in to say that the media has used the riot to generalize all Trump supporters as those few who stormed the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no question the media represented this as so much worse than it actually was,\u201d Kelly said. She then went on to describe and condemn the actions inside the Capitol taken by those who stormed it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve all seen the video of people screaming in the face of cops and being totally disparaging and defecating on the floor of the U.S. Capitol,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cAnd lawmakers were understandably afraid, you know? Not like [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)], \u2018I need therapy for the rest of my life\u2019 afraid. But I could understand it, and I didn\u2019t like seeing it at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s our Capitol. Get the hell out of there. Have some respect. Don\u2019t threaten the cops, screw you,\u201d Kelly continued. \u201cThe MAGA crowd is supposed to be pro-cop, you know, you don\u2019t get in their faces and say all that s***ty stuff which I heard with my own ears.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The host then ripped into the media for using the Capitol riot to malign all Trump supporters as well as target prominent backers of the former president to blacklist them from other opportunities, such as other lines of work or book deals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean that\u2019s what the entire crowd was there for, intended to do, so they got tarred by the actions of, like, some losers who went a different way. And then the media did what it does which is any bad behavior gets attributed to the entire group of Trump supporters, not just at the Capitol, but in the country,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cRemember? After that it was like, \u2018you\u2019re a MAGA supporter, you\u2019re a Trump supporter, you\u2019re on the banned list.\u2019 It wasn\u2019t just like \u2018did you storm the Capitol?\u2019 it was like if you voted from Trump, you\u2019re banned. You\u2019re not getting book deals, you\u2019re not getting anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even before the January 6 riot, prominent figures such as Ocasio-Cortez were calling for \u201cTrump sycophants\u201d should be marked in case they attempt to \u201cdownplay their complicity\u201d in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ocasio-cortez-evan-mcmullin-lets-make-a-list-of-trump-supporters-firestorm-erupts\">tweeted<\/a> on November 6, 2020.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
