NJ CD 9: Largest paper in NJ endorses Pascrell
His challenger, Billy Prempeh:
We preface this endorsement by addressing the elephant in the 9th District: Billy Prempeh, the Republican candidate for that North Jersey congressional seat, swears that he is neither a member nor an advocate of QAnon.
So about that infamous photo that Prempah posted on Facebook during his first run at Rep. Bill Pascrells job in 2020, when he posed with a beaming visage alongside a Q banner while leaning into a jubilant young woman wearing a Q crown: That was a mere youthful indiscretion. Two years ago.
-snip-
Just the same, the 32-year-old from Paterson tells us that all the idiots who desecrated the Capitol and sought to kill lawmakers on Jan. 6, 2021 -- QAnon and other assorted barbarians who worship Donald Trump are being denied the right of speedy and fair trials.
You heard right: Even though hundreds have pled guilty, Prempeh objects to these rioters being treated like terrorists in Guantanamo Bay, and decries how were dragging it through the mud. . . .not just to demonize the Republican Party and split the country, but to parade what has happened as the most negative thing thats ever happened in our country.

The British were actually fairly even handed as they sacked our Capitol. They were under strict orders and custom to not attack civilians and they only attacked the Federal Government and our troop.
Jan 6 is the only time a large group ever ransacked the capitol. I am aware there were one or more violent incidents before, but not huge hoards trying to subvert the Electoral Certification process.

went to D.C. partially for Trump and partially for revenge for his own mercenary interests.
