Yes..., couldn’t agree more. Maybe the FUCKING FBI and TheJusticeDept could look into those that incite violence...!!!!! RepMaxineWaters

My goodness. What are they doing to make Americans so mad?

Its a story of home grown terrorist's trump created and the GOP who are fine with it.

Such bullshit by CNN!

GOP: 'Well, 1/6 didn't work. What's next?' They aren't ashamed, just disappointed.

That will be the feeling of every citizen in this country if Biden‘s immigration laws are allowed to stand.

Wouldn’t have threats if everyone just admitted all the crap about a stolen election was a lie.

The entire GOP is under MOB RULE. The threats and intimidation only gets worse, not better, over time. They got themselves into this mess. Only they can get themselves out of this mess. They don’t want a trial because many of them were involved.

I believe Trump should pay for the increased security for congress

Two of the main instigators, HawleyMO SenTedCruz did they not RUN & HIDE along with other senators from their OWN supporters during the riot? Showing a fist of support one minute, then slinking away a coward minutes later! Pathetic!

call it something in America . when you do what i say or else.. stand for something or fall for anything

And what are republicans doing? Trying to pretend nothing is going on. DON’T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS. Vote them out!

Nonsense.

Trumps USA.

Stop! Send these men and women home. If I remember correctly the average American citizen during these riots, looting, burning down cities, murders, businesses destroyed, families destroyed and the Democrats were 100% against sending in the National Guard to protect them.

Hypersecurity and the embrace of insular autocracy is not the way. American democracy has always been chaotic. To be in politics is to engage with that. An invisible autocracy has been imposed upon our people; Discovering it; they are riotous. You shall not consolidate power.

Can you really blame them? With the events that happened on January 6 I’m sure it’s always in the back of their mind that something awful could happen again. Let’s just hope nothing does
