Whatever you can say about this past summer and all that disruption across America, no one was calling to hang Mike Pence, no one had the intention to literally take over the government itself.

That’s the narrative. But the government never came to a grinding halt.

Government is just government. The violent protest on Capitol Hill was deplorable and condemnable but so too were the violent demonstrations across America that were occurring fir many months.

They then become illegal and subject to law enforcement,
