These are the same people who raised militias and demanded public beheadings because the government asked them to wear a mask.

Wait - didn’t Kyle Rittenhouse do this and now owns a place on MAGA Mount Rushmore?

I know! That’s the way it was in 2021 with DJ too! “Our number 1 off-season priority” was designated for assignment three years into a 6 year deal.
