1. Republicans on Friday described the deadly riot at the US Capitol and events that led to it as "legitimate political discourse."

It censured two of its lawmakers, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, for investigating the attempted insurrection.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) meeting in Salt Lake City, accused them of helping to persecute "ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse."...

2. It is a joke of all centuries to claim that the deadly January 6 Capitol riot is a "legitimate political discourse". To dismiss the January 6 probe as an attack on "legitimate political discourse" could encourage Trump's followers to take up arms to "defend democracy", making such violence a regular feature of the US political landscape.

The GOP's outrageous claim also indicates that the party is convinced that the two-faced "gas-emitting" White House incumbent (whose approval rating dropped to a new low of 41% on February 3, 2022) will be soundly defeated by his self-declared "Messiah", "huge mushroom head" predecessor in the upcoming presidential election in 2024. 😇

"A Florida man has been arrested and accused of pepper-spraying officers at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and then making a menacing call to the FBI special agent investigating his role in the riot, law enforcement officials said.

Barry Bennett Ramey, who officials say was affiliated with the Proud Boys, was arrested Thursday in Florida, according to court records. He is charged with assault on federal law enforcement officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon, obstructing law enforcement, entering or remaining on restricted grounds with intent to impede, knowingly engaging in an act of physical violence while using or carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon and an act of physical violence on Capitol grounds.

According to the FBI affidavit, Ramey called the FBI special agent investigating his case this month and read the agent's home address aloud. He then texted the agent's former vehicle identification number, according to the affidavit."
