    Some of the problem is the fact that members of Congress may have been involved with the insurrection.

    For example, Lauren Boebert, R-CO, tweeted out the location of Nancy Pelosi during the riot. She is facing backlash not only from her colleagues but from officials back home.

    This member, along with some other newly-elected members, seem to be more interested in provoking spectacle than addressing issues. For example, Biden is not even President but Q-nut Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-GA, has plans to introduce articles of impeachment today.

    I believe her actual tweet was that “the speaker has left the chambers”. She says it was a description of what was occurring.

    I got to watch her campaign. I would hardly characterize her as the violent fringe.

    On edit: the tweet says “the speaker has been removed from the chambers”. Removed is now a place.

    "She's not there, keep searching for her" is another way to look at it.

    Giving directions to the mob really isn't a good look for a member of Congress any way you slice it. Especially when members of Congress seem to have given tours of the underground tunnels the day before to people who breached the Capitol the next day.

    Even worse when you consider the filing by the DOJ today:

    Federal prosecutors offered the most chilling description yet of rioters who seized the Capitol last week, writing in a new court filing that the intention was "to capture and assassinate elected officials."

    The view was included in a memo seeking to keep Jacob Anthony Chansley, who rallied people inside the Capitol using a bullhorn, in detention. According to Capitol Police information included in the filing, Chansley was notable for his headdress, face paint and carrying of a six-foot spear.

    "Strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States government," government prosecutors wrote.
    Tweeting advice about where to look for the Speaker is bad juju when people are searching for her to murder her. Parsing words won't help her. Her own party officials back home are looking to censure her about it, so it is odd to see someone sticking up for her.

    As the FBI warns of violence, anti-government extremists are ready to get in on the chaos.

    Interesting. At best your post was factually incorrect, at worst an attempt to deceive.

    I believe that our healing needs to start with the truth. I chose your post to start with.
