I don’t care what the objective is, rioting and violence is never an acceptable means to be heard. I’ll never support it. We have had months of political violence. None of it is okay. It will never be okay. WTF is wrong with people.
@LisaMarieBoothe Sheep in Wolves clothing. Antifa always counter protests. They didn’t today because they are attempting to infiltrate and create a narrative to balance their anarchist ideals.

Either protests are marvelous demonstrations of moral conviction or they are not. Either we indulge them as part of popular participation in the democratic process or we don’t. We cannot demand that one side lawfully abstain while we encourage the other to go right on ahead
From former Attorney General Bill Barr: “The violence at the Capitol Building is outrageous and despicable. Federal agencies should move immediately to disperse it.”
Peaceful protest is the right of every American but this attack on our Capitol will not be tolerated and those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Nearly every denunciation of the violence from the president or his daughter or the president’s lawyer has included language giving members of the rioting mob a permission structure. Ivanka Trump called them “patriots,” Giuliani tells them they’re on the right side of history.
