20. The distinction he's making here is worthless in the case of insurrection. An insurrectionist is an insurrectionist.

There aren’t “good” ones and “bad” ones, as much as Republicans would like to believe that. They tried to FORCE the government to change election results. The insurrection itself is the crime.

If you didn’t leave after Trump’s incendiary speech, you clearly didn’t have a problem with what he was telling you to do, anyhow.
