Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Mike Johnson's rhetoric is beyond the pale even for a Trump sycophant.
When all of this comes back to haunt him, what will be the response to his appeal to his Savior? "Was it worth it Mike?"
