I don't understand what Grassley, etc. attending fund raisers for Trump recently has to do with objecting to the Capital riots when it happened. Trump told those protesters to march peacefully so how was he responsible for what a few fools did that didn't listen to him?

How deep do you have to bury your head in the sand to think Trump didn't instigate the insurrection? He is STILL out there right now fomenting anger and violence around a lie!
Normally, I'd agree with that statement. And yes, those who took it too far (way too far) were in the wrong regardless of who might have egged them on, gave means of entry, or had premeditated any of it.
But sadly, we ARE in the middle of Left vs. Right, and it IS relevant that all the riots, looting, destruction & violence of the past few years was condoned, endorsed & often orchestrated by BLM & its supporters. It is relevant because it's being excused by civic, & political leaders and the MSM (don't even try telling me it's not - everyone knows it is). The hypocrisy resulted in a strong sentiment that rules and laws broken by the left are largely ignored.
There are still long stretches of boarded up buildings on my drive into work. Who knows where those people are now, if they are even earning a living. The blight on individuals, community, & cities across the country will not be erased with a few platitudes; our country has suffered irreparably for this for generations to come. And those who caused it are for the most part walking around, never having to pay for their crimes.
Those on the right who did come to peacefully protest (not Horn Helmet & the others) are still pi$$ed and rightfully so.

How biased do you have to be to believe that especially when Trump was exonerated? If expressing one's opinion forments anger and violence then it's on them not the one expressing an opinion. We all are only responsible for our own actions. We know right from wrong. What violence are you speaking of on the part of Trump supporters are you talking about recently?
