3. I bet it's already smashed and destroyed

4. Let's think about this here for a minute:

They let Kyle Rittenhouse off the hook.

They let George Zimmerman off the hook.

They made a martyr out of Ashlii Babbitt.

They made a martyr out of Charlie Kirk.

They said multiple classrooms full of murdered children wasn't a deal breaker.

They tried to get Derek Chauvin off the hook.

They made Jonathan Ross a millionaire.

They made Erika Kirk an overnight celebrity.

Donald Trump and the GOP attract violence. Plain and simple.
