(Tony Sifert, Headline USA) The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has called on Washington Commanders defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio to resign after the coach described the Jan. 6 protests as a “dust up.”
NAACP president Derrick Johnson, who has repeatedly praised the murderous and incredibly destructive BLM riots of 2020, issued a statement calling on the Commanders to “terminate” Del Rio if he refuses to resign.
“It is time for Jack Del Rio to resign or be terminated,” Johnson wrote in a statement sent to the media. “His comments could not have been more offensive and ignorant.”
Unsurprisingly, Johnson went on to inject a racial element into his attack on the football coach, embracing the you-ain’t-black-ism the Left employs to elect Democrats.
“Downplaying the insurrection by comparing it to nationwide protests, which were in response to a public lynching, is twisted,” Johnson said.
“You can’t coach a majority Black team while turning your back on the Black community.”
Del Rio’s crime was noticing — correctly — that the BLM riots of 2020 were far more destructive than the protests at the Capitol.
On June 6, Del Rio responded to a Brooking Institution tweet pushing a leftist narrative about the J6 Committee hearings.
“Would love to understand ‘the whole story’ about why the summer of riots, looting, burning and the destruction of personal property is never discussed but this is ???” Del Rio wrote.

During a Commanders’ media session on June 8, Del Rio was asked about the tweet and referred to the Capitol riot as a “dust-up” in response.
“Businesses are being burned down, no problem . . . and then we have a dust-up at the Capitol, nothing burned down . . . and we’re gonna make that a major deal,” Del Rio said.
Del Rio quickly apologized for his “irresponsible and negligent” language, but the long knives are out.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., can say — in reference to 9/11 — that “some people did something,” but we don’t see the “D” after Del Rio’s name.
