They were guilty of trespassing and vandalism, crimes that Democrats usually have no problem with. In fact, as we have seen in the past, Democrats often condone occupations by demonstrators (e.g., Occupy Wall Street). Talk about hypocrisy.

My first reaction to hearing he said this was - this is his signal to the DS that he has agreed to a deal with them to become president.
It might sound crazy but I think he is their new Romney. He will get support in a primary to defeat Trump for the nomination.
He wants to be president and there is no way he gets there as long as Trump is around. His conservative support was already crumbling. I think the DS offered him a deal and his signal of acceptance was to call the Jan.6 prisoners terrorists.
