We didn’t in 2016. We wouldn’t now.

Protestors are banging on the doors to the house chamber and reporters inside are hearing gunshots while they hide in the gallery. Capitol police are in the chamber with their guns drawn and furniture barricading the door. Stick your whataboutism up your ass. This isn’t a hypothetical now.
I guess you missed several months ago (since the media barely covered it) when protesters were literally trying to set fire to federal court houses.

Those who tresspassed into the chamber need to be dealt with harshly.

Kevin McCarthy is very pissed at the protesters. He is being interviewed on FNC right now.
Agreed.

They had round the clock coverage. But this is the fucking Capitol dude. Windows on the building have been broken out. A woman has been shot on the Capitol grounds.

My kid lives in DC and he's been advised by multiple people to just get some extra groceries and don't plan on going anywhere for a few days. The national guard is ready to go this will be resolved.

I wouldn't be surprised if McConnell wants to go after Trump for treason.

Second, where were all of you when BLM mobs destroyed several cities, set businesses on fire, beat people up, and looted stores?
This was incited for weeks. To compare this to spontaneous protests that are far more difficult to control is asinine.

There are various reports that the Pentagon dragged its feet on Pelosi’s request for the National Guard.

It's comical what's going on there. The leftists have been tearing at the fabric of the country for decades now... And this is part of the results they deserve. It will probably get much worse before any chance of getting better.

So you're saying that the Trump deplorables are no better than the Democratic socialists?

The way I see it Trump has just committed treason to avoid Federal prosecution. Democrats are peaceful protesters.

I'm not saying that... I'm saying you guys have encouraged/ defended those"Democratic socialists" actions as necessary in the past. What you're seeing today pales in comparison.

Virginia is sending state police. Maryland and Virginia are sending their national guards and the entire D.C. National guard has been activated.
