ShazzieB
(17,051 posts)The question is, are McCoco and McCaca stupid enough to think the cops DON'T know the Repubs were willing to let them die that day?
They looked awfully surprised at the handshake snub. Maybe they somehow really didn't realize the cops were fully aware of their betrayal. If so, they ought to know NOW.

(8,427 posts)Brian was a Trump voter who gave his life in defense of the Constitution and protecting Democracy. It did not matter to him once the election was over his oath to Protect and Defend the Constitution against all enemies Foreign and Domestic kicked in. His family chose not to acknowledge those who did not stand up for their son/brother after his death. It is their right to shake, not shake whatever. Their loved one was murdered by a crowd at the direction of Donald Trump.

I would not want to shake hands with a Jan 6th sympathizer/excuse-maker either. I stand with those first responders. A few of THEIR colleagues lost their lives that day, and rather brutally, too. And NO. We DONT just forgive and forget. Not in this case. Not this time.
