Look For Intent When Comparing The Capitol Mob To Black Lives Matter,Historian Says

Some on the right have compared the violence of the insurrection to what happened last year at Black Lives Matter protests.

But according to new research from Princeton University, at least 93% of the Black Lives Matter protests were peaceful. The study looked at more than 7,000 protests in 2,000 locations.

Then there's the claim that leaders on the left have incited more violence than on the right, peddled by Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz after the insurrection. But Democratic leaders like President-elect Joe Biden decried any violence after Black Lives Matter marches, as did the group's leaders.
