Mac is only here to colorize every event he can slant against the GOP while dulling and flattening down the tones of anything incriminating to the Left.
ITMT, what he and the Dems are really suggesting here is that a bunch of unarmed, middle-aged people dressed in heavy winter coats walking around taking selfies of themselves, often with their wives and I even saw a few kids, were an insurmountable threat to our congresspeople, that our leaders are for the most part such a group of utter cowards and pussies, pansies and wallflowers that they cowered in fear shaking under their desks rather than even try to stand up to a simple group of very unorganized people carrying cellphones.
If I had been there, I would have at least been leader enough that if no one else would do it, I would have at least gone out and met these people halfway, tried to calm them down, try to stall them by forcing them to pick a leader and we find out just what their point, objective, and reason for being there really was.
A real leader might have diffused the whole situation by simply having respected the rally group on J6 enough to go out and speak with them first and understand their position and make them understand yours and reach an understanding first instead of throwing grenades at them, and J6 might never have happened.
Probably why they wouldn't take Trump down there either; they knew Trump would have probably gotten the whole group to diffuse and go home.
