“January 6 was just a protest! Tourists walking through the Capitol!”
What You Say
DOJ has charged more than 1,500 defendants — including seditious conspiracy convictions for Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders. Video evidence shows rioters breaching barricades, assaulting officers, and chanting to hang the Vice President. Congress certified the election after hours of lockdown. Calling it tourism insults the 140 officers injured and the rule of law. Peaceful protest doesn't include pipe bombs and gallows.
The Stab
Tourists don't get seditious conspiracy convictions.
