The protestors, that is.
Greene and Gohmert may be a couple of assholes, but they do have the first amendment right to make total asses of themselves.

And Jan 6th was an "inside job?"
Reminds me of the "9-11 was an inside job" nutcases.

Trump and Co absolutely were responsible for it. That's why he was impeached. It's nothing like the 9/11 truthers.

Nobody's "first amendment rights" are being infringed here. And the protestors have a first amendment right to express themselves too. Letting their toxic speech go unchallenged in this way would be a mistake. We need more of this, not less.

He always had tight control of the venue and made sure anyone who might cause a ruckus was excluded (or quickly run out the door). Yes, it costs to rent a space, but then he'd stiff them anyway if they weren't smart enough to demand payment up front.

That's what someone immediately steps forward to claim, as they flee.

"The left" accused by someone with them, loudly and prominently.
