If you wouldn't mind going to the 2:45 minute mark of the video, it all gets explained there including the specified crimes that were committed by the "peaceful protesters."

So why are Right-wing peaceful protesters not afforded the same courtesy? Just let them hang out in the capital building. No big deal. If threatening elected officials at their home and trying to coerce them to do what you want them to is okay with you, then surely it must always be okay, am I right??

What's the difference??

In 2011 protestors took over the State Capital in Madison Wisconsin for 4 months. It wasn't all that much different, except the protestors in Wisconsin did not leave.

Junebug, best to just ignore him. He'll ignore acknowledgements of him being proven to be wrong, but will certainly not hesitate to throw out generalizations about others.

Pelosi wants the Capitol Police chief to resign and Schumer has said that if the current Senate Sergeant-At-Arms does not resign before the Democrats take over, then he will fire him as soon as he becomes majority leader.

Oh, so have I. All the best MAGA sources were showing it. Note that not a single reliable source was, though. And no, Epoch Times is not a reliable source.

I don't need to refute anything, 63 court cases did it for me.

That was over policy. This was an insurrection against the government itself.

It was a protest against an insurrection that created a fraudulent election.

Do I believe it changes the results? No. But every case of fraud or just bad stuff happening needs to be addressed. Just one dead person voting is one too many. Just one fraudulent vote is one too many. Just one polling station ignoring election laws is one too many. So rather than making excuses for bad behavior or completely refusing to believe anything bad happened, how about fixing the bad stuff???
None of that backs up any of your claims, BTW.
