As Twitchy reported earlier, there's been an insurrection of sorts as pro-Hamas demonstrators have taken over the Capitol Rotunda. To me, it's the worst attack on American democracy since Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and January 6 put together.
The scene in the Cannon House Office Building rotunda on Capitol Hill as Hamas sympathizers chant under a banner calling for a “CEASEFIRE.” Of note, demonstrations are not allowed in congressional buildings, per Capitol Police. pic.twitter.com/9RcCIjUzud

The police, seen standing around watching in that video, finally went to work and arrested a reported three protesters. This is a satisfying watch:

This guy is really passionate about his hatred for Israelis.
That's worth at least 5-10 years based on the new rules isn't it?

If you talk the talk you have to walk the walk
So now it's cool to crash the Capitol if it's for the 'right' cause?

Seems some causes are more 'equal' than others. Wonder why that is?
Where are the arrests? I was assured by Garland that the "Justice Department prosecutors are nonpartisan. They don’t allow partisan considerations to play any role in their determinations.”

And to think of all of the "insurrectionists" tied up in court and charged with "parading." If walking in and taking a selfie gets the FBI's attention, you'd think the Capitol Police would have everyone in zip-ties.
