ARE YOU MISGENDERING A HORSE HERE???

Human Events ran a fun opinion piece over the weekend mocking the Associated Press with the headline, “Associated Press—who used capitol riot to redefine ‘insurrection’—now OUTRAGED by GOP calling state capitol riots ‘insurrections’.”

Conservative writer and playwright Libby Emmons has a problem with how the Associated Press can’t make up its mind about what the word “insurrection” means. The news giant waffles back and forth, like a man visiting China for the first time desperately trying to figure out which one is the men’s bathroom.

What has brought things to a confusing head are all the violent trans protests in the Tennessee and Montana Houses of Representatives, where oversized activists wearing size-10 spike heels and plus-sized cocktail wear rushed the galleries and had to be physically removed by outnumbered riot police.

The latest problem arises because, back on January 14, 2021, the Associated Press “updated” its long-standing definition of “insurrection” in order to better match the event of January 6th. Before J6, the AP defined “insurrection” using the long-standing 18th century definition: “a violent uprising that targets government authority.” But that didn’t seem quite right, since it sort of ruled out calling J6 an insurrection, so diligent AP editors — always striving for truth and justice — tweaked the word’s meaning. Just a smidge or skosh.

So in early 2021, the AP’s editors somberly announced, in order to fit in better with 21st-century ideals, an “insurrection” was now — officially (according to the AP) — an “an act or instance of revolting against civil authorities or an established government.”

No uprising needed!

See how it works? Those devilish J6 MAGA Trumpites weren’t just ordinary protestors, no, they were INSURRECTORS! We just updated the meaning! And so, for the last 2+ years we’ve gotten an earache listening to deadpan news anchors ignorantly describing the events of January 6th as “an insurrection,” over and over and over.

But now the AP is shocked, shocked and appalled, that conservatives would dare compare the violent clashes between clown-wigged, BLM-masked trans protestors fighting riot police IN THE MONTANA HOUSE GALLERY to the much more serious and civilization-shattering events that unfurled when some conservative rally-goers quietly strolled through the Capitol rotunda.
