Is this the way republican tourists act all over the world? How is this even real anymore??

Shameless has been used to much, but they are now at the point, and have been for a long time, where a new word for shameless, lie etc needs to be created.

I mean, surely no tourist visit to the U.S. Capitol is complete without that. Beatings with flag poles

People just shamelessly dismissing acts of violence, reiterating propaganda that no one believes. This is chilling to see.

The Democrats in congress should have that video of that Capitol Policeman who was caught in the door and nearly crushed. Play it on a loop. Play his cries for help on a loop every goddamn time one of these fuckers brushes this off as a "bunch of tourists".

Goddamn.
Time.

there should be a voiceover of that exact audio, with video of the actual insurrection.

Useful for his future opponent, whether in a republican primary, or his democratic opponent.
