Critical Race Theory, voting improprieties, mask-wearing, abortion – you name the issue, and Russ Diamond, a Republican member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, has probably expressed an opinion about it and done so very publicly.
But in a Facebook exchange on Wednesday (July 28), when he was asked to share his thoughts about what happened at the Capitol on January 6, here’s all Diamond had to say about it –
Since I wasn’t in DC on Jan 6 and I wasn’t watching on the teevee, I can’t really pass judgment. Although I did see repeated clips of an unarmed young woman get shot point blank in the neck.
State Representative Russ Diamond
Having expressed an opinion about only one thing pertaining to January 6, that he had seen on video, Diamond was asked a series of follow-up questions about Ashli Babbitt, the woman who was shot and killed at close range by Capitol Police on January 6 –
Where was she when she got shot? Who was she with when she got shot? What were they doing when she got shot?
Diamond’s response to that question was –
I don’t engage in battles of wits with unarmed men. Feel free to return to your hellscape life of lollipops and unicorns.
