But &#8230; had the shoe been on the proverbial other foot and Trump had won the 2020 election and had Black Lives Matters or antifa followers had rioted in that fashion, why, <em>then<\/em> he would have felt endangered.<\/p>\n<p>The racist tenor of that remark stands alone. It is hideous in the extreme. Oh, but then he said something else that makes my spine shudder.<\/p>\n<p>He said the terrorists were &#8220;law-abiding&#8221; citizens who &#8220;would never do anything&#8221; against the law. Look at the picture I posted with this blog. It shows terrorists storming into the Capitol Building. Hmm. Oh, and they killed a Capitol Police officer during the melee and injured several others, not to mention causing the deaths of about five other Americans.<\/p>\n<p>To which laws were these lunatics abiding? None.<\/p>\n<p>It reminds me of Donald Trump&#8217;s infamous declaration after the KKK\/Nazi-inspired riot in Charlottesville when he declared there to be &#8220;good people &#8230; <em>on both sides&#8221;<\/em> of that deadly riot.<\/p>\n<p>Someone needs to slap a straitjacket on Sen.
