Why was there not more outrage when Trump called for Hillary Clinton to be locked up and then called

for Joe Biden and his son to be locked up?
The truth is that Trump, his family and the rest of the coup plotters need to be locked up.

The Rethugs excel at destroying people and keeping them from voting. That's all they can do.

President Biden and VP Harris MUST hold Trump and his henchpeople accountable for the horrors of the last several years. Otherwise, this behavior is normalized. If that does happens, I greatly fear for the US.

2. Because there was a whole 'nother group who kept silent when it was directed at HRC & Joe Biden

They held a side-eye & kept quiet like they didn't hear nor care of the damage being done at that moment in time.

Including Media that repeated the vile calls on a loop for drama & views.

Those 2 people had their good names & reputations ground in the dirt

The participants were all visible. We watched in disgust at those who claimed to be neutral & those who exploited the name of our Democratic Party.

Not a word from them in defense of the sickness that was growing within the Trump campaign.
Why? Because it wasn't directed at them, & they found a personal benefit in allowing it to continue.

Proove me wrong. I watched it happen.

A lot of people with a public voice could have & should have put a halt to the damaging rhetoric that grew to become the events of January 6, 2021.

But they didn't.

Accusations of corruption didn't just come from Republicans. Disgusting.

6. I'm curious why Hillary hasn't filed any lawsuits against TRump, and Mike Flynn

Jan 2021

make a formal complaint with the Army, filed lawsuit against Giuliani et al.

Mike Flynn's Clinton Cash I've heard was financed by the Mercers if I recall accurately.

Anyway it just seems odd to me why she hasn't .

Not everything is protected by Free Speech, like Libel for instance.
