... and "truly respect law enforcement" whereas it would have been another matter if they had been black lives matter or antifa protesters ... obvious blatant racism aside does this mean the right has at least given up on the bullshit theory that insurrectionists were led by antifa false flag actors?

(10,284 posts)Eye witness reporting from January 6 revealed all the Senators quickly evacuated to a safe place when it became obvious Trump's violent insurrectionist mob had breached Capitol security and were headed for the Senate Chamber. Reportedly, Johnson ran from the chamber like a scalded dog, along with Cruz, Hawley and all the other GOP senators.
Perhaps RonAnon should have stayed behind to welcome his patriotic, America-loving crew, the ones who truly respected the cops they were beating and murdering?

(2,636 posts)The arrests and indictments are coming in, hundreds of people. Once the convictions begin, will Garland/Pelosi/Schumer censure or otherwise punish the Johnsons, the Hawleys, the Cruzes, the Boeberts Perjury Traitor Greenes, Biggs and Gosar, that rolling POS Cawthorn, and every one of the representatives and senators for supporting the insurrection?
The GOP managed to shame Steve King, from Iowa for his racist bs. How do these trumpturncoats get off scott free?
