Insurrection crowd wants you to think that Americans exercising their first amendment rights hate America.

Think about that for a second.

Don’t know if I would consider the NY Post anything but a tabloid, but your point is valid.

Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

Just looking for that senate seat, can’t convince me otherwise.

He is literally working to suppress the first amendment rights of the citizens of the country he is meant to represent.

Labeling American citizens “terrorist” for expressing their views on the current administration that should be impeachable.

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."
