What "tyrannical government" is she talking about? Somehow I don't think "our founders" were speaking about the government they fought to form. And what is she planning?

I've had people say this sort of thing to me.

Back to the Civil War mindset.

Boggles the mind.

We certainly don't condone taking up arms against our own government, and she has said that she supports violence against Democrats. She was removed from all her committee assignments for that reason.

I agree with you 100% that violence is not the answer to anything.

This woman needs to be removed from Congress, arrested, tried, convicted, & sentenced to the max allowable by law!

She is a clear & present danger to our country!

Remember the old addage: when people show you who they are, believe them?

They've threatened to sequester her in an "isolation box" during House votes since she still refuses to comply. I agree, she is nothing but a disruptor and deserves to be permanently banned.

Imo, no threats should be issued. Action speaks much louder than words.

Stop worrying about her "feelings," she likely doesn't have any.

She is directly endangering hundreds of people, legislators.

She has been threatened with being placed in an "isolation box" while present in the House. Not to mention, she was removed from all committee assignments after her support of violence towards Democratic colleagues, particularly Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
