And these "tours" certainly had to be noticed, not only for the weird places they were going, but because no tours at all were allowed due to Covid.

She deserves a big apology from those who refused to believe her, not that she'll ever get one...

It was political discourse! No members of Congress were involved! It was peaceful! It was Antifa! It was BLM! It was patriots! It was for America! There were no tours! There were tours for a few constituents! It was tours for families! It was only one tour by one Congressman! It was an ordinary tour, not of private spaces!

They've tried it all, and J6 steps forward with the receipts. It's about to get serious.
