The legacy is lies on top of lies from our governing body and the FBI.
And they were all cowards. Not a one stayed to confront the protesters and ask them to leave.

Cowardice abounds n Congress not just in the face of physical threat but politically as well. The insistence that all in a party have to comply with the most minute policy is ridiculous. The fear of being ostracized and the loss of financial support that follows produces spineless jellyfish. I don't have to agree with Rep. Cheney or Sen. Manchin to admire their courage. They are the exception. I want a politician who is honest. That is too much to ask
