Media is trying to Turn the Terrorist/Riots on Capitol Hill into some BS First Amendment thing

The media is trying to turn what happened last week into some false story about it being about the first amendment and about whether Democrats are being too tough on Trump and whether they can focus on issues like Covid(now they care) .

The lazy media that got used to just reporting Trump's tweets are upset they will actually have to read up on issues to report what is going on. So they are trying to turn what is going on into some other shit.

They were far more harsh when it came to Kathy Griffin and what she posted some years back. They never asked whether it was too harsh to take away jobs from her.

But they are crying over Trump now.

Either 1st or 2nd amendment usually.

And republicans always expect the Democratic Party to play nice after republican actions have caused damage to America.

And a lot of the Press plays along.
