If some of those folks broke the law they should be punished, including the guy who put his feet up on The Speaker's desk.

Selected video and photographs can certainly make an impression, especially when the video is selected to match the presentation.
Do you remember Jacob Chansley, the “Q-Anon Shaman”? My immediate reaction was that he was a kook - and I follow the conservative press. I can only imagine what people who follow the liberal press think of him. He may well be the face of the “violent insurgency.”
Tucker Carlsen was given access to some video tapes. They showed Capitol Police escorting Chansley in the Capitol on January 6th. Between escorts and Policemen lounging in hall, he must have been surrounded by 4 or 5 policemen who were totally unconcerned about his presence in the Capitol on January 6th.
As to the guy with his feet up on the table. What would you say if you learned that the press asked him to pose that way? I made that up, but I would not put it past them.
