He said that is ordinary campaign rhetoric.
Said "no human being believes . . .that is incitement to political violence.

Now he is claiming that the press and Dems said the 2016 election had been "hacked."
ACTUALLY, the u.s. intelligence agencies and Mueller actually indicted Russian groups for conspiracy in our elections. So he is LYING

The topic today is the siege of the Capitol on January 6.

Note: No one there was violent.

He thinks he is clever to call this "constitutional cancel culture" or something like that.

No. We will not move on. Sorry.

What's “Brand New Congress?” BNC is a group of Bernie Sanders staffers who got together, decided to make the 2018 midterms all about Bernie policies by taking his ideas & finding 400 Bernie carbon copies to dump into Congressional & other races, creating a 400 headed Bernie.
