William Walker, the Winchester Cathedral diver, who shored up the foundations of the cathedral. I didn’t realize that he died in the 1918 flu pandemic.

And the #January6Committee swallowed whole #Trump SecDef claim that the reason they balked at DC and Capitol Police requests for DCNG backup before and during #January6 is cuz #ChristopherMiller #WalterPiatt #RyanMcCarthy alleged concern about optics of involving the military in an election after backlash due to #MarkEsper #BLM overreach. And they tried to blame Gen #WilliamWalker https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/06/jan-6-generals-lied-ex-dc-guard-official-523777
@jeffsonstein I wasn't contradicting your statement. The same people who cracked down hard on the #BLM protests used the backlash against their overreach to claim that was the reason they were so hands off with the crowd of #January6 racist traitorous rightwing #Trump nut insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the government on #J6. It's not acceptable, or credible.
PS #WilliamWalker might've been picked as fall guy cuz he's Black https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/06/jan-6-generals-lied-ex-dc-guard-official-523777
