29. She and the insurrectionists TOOK UP ARMS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES

Thu Jan 7, 2021, 05:28 AM

Jan 2021

and invaded OUR CAPITOL BUILDING, threatening and disrupting the work of the highest leaders of our country, who at that very moment were trying to carry out a constitutionally-mandated process to determine who our next President will be.

This after threat after threat to bring guns and setting up nooses and carrying insurrectionist flags historically responsible for hundreds of thousands of dead Americans. No one had any idea who was and wasn't armed in that mob.

I am AMAZED only one of them got shot. What unbelievable restraint on the part of the police, much more restrained than they should have been in a situation like that.

This wasn't a "police action," this was quite literally defending the cornerstone of our federal government against a thousands-strong insurrection.
