Imagine being a Capitol police officer. Imagine guarding Republican MCs

They will treat the Republican Members of Congress with respect and deference. They will still put their lives on the line to protect them.

They will do so knowing the Republican party is protecting the man behind the mob that put their lives in danger, the mob that killed one of their brothers, the injured over 100 more, and drove two others to suicide.

Some of those Republicans showed the rioters, just a day or two before, showed the insurrectionist terrorists, how to navigate that building and attack our leaders and our Constitution.

Congratulations to Vladimir Putin. Congratulations to Rupert Murdoch. You've created the world you wanted to live in.

they put their bodies between Congress and a violent mob. If they were Republicans, even pro-Trump Republicans, they stood the ground and did their duty for the country.

If they didn't, if they collaborated with the mob, I'm not talking about them.
