It's simply shocking that so many people with military backgrounds participated in storming the Capitol, one of the US's most respected institutions. Micah Coomer even spoke of a second Civil War and the anti-government extremist Boogaloo movement. These men must be held accountable for their seditious actions.
It's absurd to call Jan. 6 an "attempted coup" by unarmed citizens who largely committed no acts of violence. The only ones truly representing anti-American sentiment are those who are targeting patriotic citizens and labeling them as "domestic terrorists." Walking into the Capitol and yelling makes you a nuisance, not an insurrectionist.
