Some partisans never learn: some poor response choices wrt Capitol lockdown.

Let me recap some reactions to the Capitol situation, here:

Verrrrrrry interesting.

Those looking for some common link might note that Lewis serves on Appropriations; Gowdy sits on Oversight; and Runyan is a member of the Armed Services Committee.

Well, some other common link.  I need hardly point out the most obvious one, yes? Continue reading #rsrh Interesting string of House break-ins, ‘burglaries.’
