They stormed the Capitol dressed like mayhem. Amidst the sea of MAGA hats and Trump flags, there were rioters in animal pelts and superhero costumes; they came dressed as Uncle Sam, Abraham Lincoln and Lady Liberty, and in tactical gear; one person wore Superman body armor, replete with muscles, and a plastic mask of President Donald Trump's head. There was no shortage of face paint. There were pioneers, tons of camouflage and iterations of the Punisher — the Marvel character who has been co-opted as a symbol of the far right.

I'm sorry but when you (the Left) can run Conservatives/Republicans out of office for "former" attachments to sketchy people or try to smear them with made up BS during a Senate Confirmation Hearing; well, two can play this game. When are you going to disavow Joe Biden, HRC, and all the rest of your party, etc., for their adulations for the former Senator AND Ku Klux Klansman Robert Byrd (D-WV)? If it walks like a duck, Klux like a duck, it's a Klux Duck.
