Trump is a Looter and so are his band of insurrectionists.

"You’d think Donald Trump would have more sympathy for looters, being a looter himself. The president has helped himself to money from the U.S. Treasury, using political power to direct public money to his personal businesses. It’s not as visual as a riot, but until 2017 it would have been regarded as equally criminal."

My half sister for one. She watches FAUX News and did nothing but complain about the looting after George Floyd's murder. She'd begrudgingly admit there was reason for anger, but not looting. On January 6th the biggest loot in our nation's history took place. She needs reminding how much anger she had for the looters during the protests rather than thinking of them as one in the same. The looting of the nation's Capitol ought to cause an apoplectic fit. I'm sure others as well.
