Mark Steyn rips media's 'citadel of democracy' framing of Capitol: 'It's a citadel of crap'

Author Mark Steyn says the “wanker press” and its allies in the halls of Congress are in denial about what the Capitol now represents to millions of Americans.

The conservative icon scoffed at the coverage of this week’s security breach at the Capitol by groups of Trump supporters. 

“In a self-governing republic of citizen-legislators, that ought to be sobering and instructive,” he wrote Thursday on his official website. “But, of course, it wasn’t. Still, I was surprised that even politicians and pundits could utter all that eyewash about ‘the citadel of democracy’ and ‘a light to the world’ with a straight face. It’s a citadel of crap, and the lights went out long ago: ask anyone who needs that $600 ‘relief’.”

  1. Mark Steyn is BRILLIANT!! In my Humble Opinion, he would make an excellent/suitable replacement for Rush Limbaugh, if/when he is incapacitated/debilitated by his cancer.
