Vile apologists:

@MayorBowser doesn’t have authority to call in the National Guard but Donald does. Does he hope to escalate the situation? Because he’s not telling his insurrectionists to leave. @SpeakerPelosi and @SenSchumer have released a statement asking Donald to tell them to leave. https://twitter.com/josh_wingrove/status/1346920783579377665
