Letter To The Editor opportunity.

The first “Brooks Bros” riot took place in 2000. It was pitched as Floridians protesting the Bush/Gore recount. The iconic photo showing supposedly average Floridians rushing the door of the Board of Elections were, in fact, not average Floridians, but many of which were GOP operatives from other states.
The most infamous person in that photo is Roger Stone.

Fast forward to yesterday, the GOP tried once again to appear as the Everyman with the second attempt at such a “protest.” It was a failed effort that rolled off the mountain like a giant boulder.
It was the typical GOP suppression tactic. The Congressman who blindly followed Matt Gaetz violated their oath of office and need to be voted out.

Why? Because history has demonstrated over and over that the GOP are the masters of cheating and voter suppression.
