I love how Dems occupied Wisconsin House for a month in 2011, stopped all business and media portrayal? Noble. Justified. Important for Democracy. GOP Protesters slow congress for an hour following irregularities in elections and it's a coup , a low point for democracy, etc. Rhetorical flourishing drives me insane.

"I heard at least 3 different rioters at the Capitol say that they hoped to find Vice President Mike Pence and execute him by hanging him from a Capitol Hill tree as a traitor. It was a common line being repeated. Many more were just talking about how the VP should be executed."

You got any more comparisons, Ryan?
