President Donald Trump speaks as Senior Advisor to the President Stephen Miller listens during a round-table discussion on border security and safe communities with State, local, and community leaders in the Cabinet Room of the White House on January 11, 2019 in Washington, DC.

There's a lot of dumbf*ckery on twitter but this headline takes the cake.
ANY REPUBLICANS THAT SUPPORT TRUMP OR TRY TO JUSITIFY JAN. 6TH ARE TRAITORS
I hope so
