But Gonell is hitting the right words. Even said the word coup, and if this happened in another country, the US would be sending troops in to help.

I feel bad for him because the Qult will attack him forever, when in fact he should be praised.

Soldier, police officer, hero. He is a true oathkeeper, not like those fucking fakers.

Thanks Sgt for standing up for democracy and the men and women you lead.

you can be sure that they will try to make something of it.

But, how can they? If they say that Sgt. Gonnell was urging people to attack TFG, then they have to admit that Jan 6 was not a tourist love fest.

Scroll down. The quote starting with “It’s upsetting”:

“It's upsetting. It’s a pathetic excuse for his behavior, for something that he himself helped to create, this monstrosity. I'm still recovering from those hugs and kisses that day. If that was hugs and kisses, then we should all go to his house and do the same thing to him.“
