These were terrorists—many of them white supremacists with military & LE training. They were clearly incited and guided by Trump. They're being covered for by GOP legislators who're doing everything in their power to trivialize the attack, the harm done to officers, the harm that might have been done to officials, and the lasting damage that has been done to democracy in the US—legislators who're describing the attackers as "tourists" and calling for the govt. to give them a pass on the whole domestic terrorism thing.
From the outside looking in, it's difficult to comprehend this kind of shameless cowardice. I wonder how long Republicans can get away with saying they simply haven't heard the officers' statements.
