4 of those she met with are still opposing the commission. Shameful fascist bastards.

Does that regularly happen with visiting "tourist" groups?? Not to mention, the violent attacks are right there on film, including those filmed by the insurrectionists themselves. It can't have been easy for this grieving mother to journey to the Capitol - and it is indeed shameful that so many refused to meet with her and the other officers who protected their lives on January 6th.

The republicans funded planned and damn near participated in the insurrection. Not only are police dead. A woman had to be killed by secret service because she was a few feet from the Vice President of the United States. People shit on floors and pissed on history.
