5. So they punked out?

Wasn't there are group of Black congresswomen who recently went to the Senate to peacefully protest for voting rights, and at least one of them got arrested as an act of civil disobedience?

How many times have John Lewis, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, and other prominent civil rights leaders gotten arrested to prove a point.

These clowns go in to make a show out of those "poor insurrectionists (I mean political prisoners ) and they don't even have the guts to get arrested? They totally punked out. They were told to leave, AND THEY JUST LEFT.

I mean, I guess if I were Matt Gaetz, I would want to be nowhere near the inside of a cell. They might just decide not to let him out.
