Sex, Lies, and Racial Hysteria: The Quiet J6 Killing of Rosanne Boyland
[American Greatness] One wonders what thoughts passed through the fevered mind of Officer Lila Morris as she struck the seemingly lifeless Rosanne Boyland over the head with a branch, then struck her again, and then struck her a third time so hard that the branch snapped in half.

If Morris thought Boyland a hateful white supremacist who deserved her fate, one could, if not forgive her, at least understand how she came to think that way. For the last two years, Morris had heard little else about these MAGA minions and the monster who led them.

President-elect Joe Biden had set the tone when he launched his presidential campaign in April 2019, implying President Donald Trump had called the neo-Nazis involved in the Charlottesville dust-up "very fine people." No major candidate has ever begun a presidential campaign with a more divisive and slanderous opening gambit (one that Snopes conceded was false just this past week).

Biden continued the slander throughout the campaign. Just four weeks before the 2020 election, he weighed in on the well-timed bust of an FBI-massaged plot to kidnap Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer. "There is a through line from President Trump’s dog whistles and tolerance of hate, vengeance, and lawlessness to plots such as this one," fumed Biden. "He is giving oxygen to the bigotry and hate we see on the march in our country."

If Morris feared the depredations of these Hun-like hordes, she was in good company. "Just remember, we’re on the right side of history," Rep. Val Demings told a colleague as they huddled fearfully in the House gallery on January 6. "If we all die today, another group will come in and certify those ballots."

"White supremacy and patriarchy are very linked in a lot of ways," congressional drama queen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s Dana Bash. "There’s a lot of sexualizing of that violence. And I didn’t think that I was just going to be killed. I thought other things were going to happen to me as well." When Bash asked AOC if she thought she was going to be raped, AOC answered, "Yeah, yeah. I thought I was."

The left has been feeding its base a steady diet of racial fear and loathing for generations. Ocasio-Cortez is Puerto Rican. Demings and Morris black. Also black is Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police lieutenant (now captain) who shot and killed January 6 protestor and Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt. Babbitt and Boyland were both white. The phrase "had the races been reversed" is such a manifest truism that pundits on the right no longer bother to complete the thought

If the shooting death of the attractive 35-year-old Babbitt was too public to ignore, the death of the obscure 34-year-old Boyland was not. Biden’s incoming Department of Justice preferred to keep it that way. The nature of that death raised troubling questions not only about race but also about sex.
