The invasion of the Capitol was not a peaceful protest - it was an insurrection.

- idiot900 6y agoSurely you can do a better job of cherry picking things out of context. In the former link, she was talking about how certain terminology ("defund") made people uncomfortable. In the latter, she denounces a sitting President who incited an insurrection that placed her life personally in grave danger.
