I’m thinking they will be more pissed for being treated as if they were “normal” people and not being able to skip the metal detectors. Pretty soon they might have to start wearing their IDs on a lanyard and no longer just have to have a tiny member lapel pin. Lot of future, “don’t you know who i am” comments.

They need to install X-ray machines, too. Let the pampered politicians experience the same indignities that they force on us.

"Too late for Ashli. Has there been any real info on her killer?"

Her killers are the AntFa, BLM, and Democrat (led by Obama and Soros) co-conspirators who planned the riot. Just as when a bank robber is killed by police, his co-conspirators are charged with his murder.
