No, I fully believe that there’s idiots on the right. I’ve met some of them.

I keep being reminded of their existence as well.

But that particular instance glows, because they were literally waved inside, and then left to wander for hours.

I mean, it's a lot easier than admitting that some of the police might be sympathetic to their cause. Was Sicknick in on it? Was Goodman? Was the guy who who shot Ashli Babbitt? It's amazing what lengths the feds will go to just to make Republicans look bad.

Don't get me wrong, I believe there was involvement on the federal level: The head of the Executive Branch lied to them for months about the results of the election, then told them to march on the capitol and fight. Same guy delayed deploying the National Guard for as long as he could. Same guy told the insurrectionists he loved them. Did the shadowy triple parentheses deep state illuminati cabal force him to do that?

You ignored my question: I'm glad the insurrection failed. Are you?
