Worth emphasizing this, because most news outlets did not:

“Rep. Matt #Gaetz (R-Fla.) on Thursday ominously invoked Donald #Trump’s call to far-right violent extremists while joining the former president at his criminal trial in New York.

“Standing back and standing by, Mr. President,” Gaetz wrote on social media, along with a photo of himself positioned behind Trump at his trial.”

Your point wasn't lost. It's just so frustrating that nothing is ever done about republicans for such blatant calls to incite riots, encouraging an insurrection. This wasn't a dog whistle, it was a bullhorn.

If I'm not mistaken, this could be deemed as an act of terrorism under the Patriot Act. But the DOJ is scared shitless of launching an investigation of any MAGA member of congress.
