is not the assault. Yes, that's terrible and unacceptable in any democracy. But understand, the Senator was listening to the Secretary. He only rose to question her when she said with no ambiguity whatsoever that the whole purpose of invading Los Angeles is to force regime change. In their twisted minds, they fully intend to keep the Marines and Guard in occupation of the city until the Mayor and Governor are forced to resign. That is when the Senator rose to ask his questions.

Need I mention that those two were elected by the will of the people?
