not too long ago, we got tickets to visit the White House and the Congress from our Representative. So, we too were "invited."

The difference, though, is we didn't storm these buildings, break windows, assault/murder police officers, destroy the insides of offices, steal stuff, and try to take hostages.

I would like to say to these people "Grow up." However, they full well knew what they were doing.

Trump wants Patriots to show up in Washington on the 6th at 11 am. And
it isn’t to all sing Kumbaya. That’s why it’s different.
