Of course, the right will portray this as an attack on their freedom. It is probably the Black Lives Matters bunch sent there by Soros. Such a demonstration is much worse than the Jan. 6, mass tourist visit to the Capitol.

Nothing will change until enough people protest to scare the Republicans leaders more than the NRA does.

I'm not gonna watch enough of their posted videos to evaluate if it's really leftists "storming the capitol" as they claim, but from what little I have seen, I'm seeing lots of signs about guns and none about transgender issues. Also not seeing any gallows erected or cries to hang elected officials (or, for that matter, any elected officials having to evacuate to safe shelters...)
