WASHINGTON — After last week's deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, members of Congress are expressing something once unthinkable: that some of their own colleagues may be endangering their lives. Not in a rhetorical sense, but in a direct and immediate way.

"It's the most poisonous I've ever seen," Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., said in an interview. "There's the overall sense that maybe if some of them have guns — and likely the ones who are more into conspiracy theories and QAnon with the pedophilic satanic rings — are we safe from them?"

DC has become a Paranoid, Narcissistic Bubble. Wait until the Jill-Camellia show where they mud wrestle to see who gets to feed Joe his gruel.

Reposted on Gab that there is a massive anti-covid protest in Italy. Have not yet confirmed.

But it makes sense that scandals have undermined public respect of govt.

“It’s the most poisonous I’ve ever seen,” Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., said in an interview. “There’s the overall sense that maybe if some of them have guns — and likely the ones who are more into conspiracy theories and QAnon with the pedophilic satanic rings — are we safe from them?”

I dunno. Ask the Republicans shot by your lunatic fellow traveler James Hodgkinson.

What a lame narrative. These go for the throat Democrats are all of a sudden afraid of the spineless Repukes. You can do better than that NBC! If anything, they need to be fearful that Antifa, BLM and the other AOC/Squad lefties don’t turn on them!

The news can create a story. Congress can act on the story. Businesses can virtue signal on story.

I do not have to believe the story. I am not a White Supremacist or have privilege for it. To borrow from The Prisoner (how's that for irony, eh?):

"I will not make any deals with you. I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own!"

Betraying the public trust is high. Don't like it, don't do it.

Um, I thought everyone who died was a Trump supporter, even the Capital policeman. How are the libtards in danger?

The commies in Congress are doing this so they can say “We have to expel all Republicans from Congress they will kill us”
