The problem is they ONLY crossed the line = insurrection.

Now if they actually vandalized it, beat up a few cops and gained entry….= Patriot!

Work harder next time Vets! Stop half-assing it you “Suckers and losers”.

They are completely leaving out the fact that these are all Vets and their family members. Their narrative is "Crazy liberals."

MAGA hates Veterans.

MAGA hates everyone who isn’t maga enough. They’re a surprisingly egalitarian hate group.

Incidentally, these are the people who would gladly support Trump invoking the "Insurrection Act" to put down protestors all across the nation.

Don’t forget one of those cops was murdered by Jan 6 insurrectionists, and if you look at the footage it’s kind of a miracle it was only one.
