MADISON – Thomas V. Crary, age 74, passed away on Wednesday, June 14, 2023. Tom was born on July 12, 1948 in Madison, WI to Oliver “Bud” and Maxine Crary.
Rep. Darrell Issa’s attempt to equate the looting of neighborhood beauty supply stores last summer to the invasion and destruction at the U.S. Capitol this week is more than asinine. It is sinister. Issa’s message is designed to minimize and excuse a seditious attack on one of the republic’s core institutions.
Looking back to the racial justice protests of 2020, the only destruction remotely comparable was the burning of police precincts in Minneapolis and Portland, which was widely condemned by leaders on the left, including Joe Biden. (It was later revealed that at least one of the arsonists was in fact a right-wing terrorist.)
