She didn’t get the “payoff”. She was family of the widow, I find after closer listening. Baldwin called her and the entire family “insurrectionists,” and doesn’t even allege that they did anything wrong. But the protest “led to” the unlawful destruction of federal property. What ever happened to “mostly peaceful” protesting? Would he say the same to George Floyd protesters in Portland? Their protests led to at least one murder, and repeated assaults on a federal courthouse.
People today sue for anything they can get even if there wasn’t an event that actually happened....they just figure they’ll get a payoff before it even goes to court.
