I don't know what "messages" you're talking about and haven't read the entirety of the thread on the hearing. I did listen to some of it as I was driving and the cop testimony was compelling. That should be the case when you hand pick your witnesses and don't allow anyone to call their own witnesses.
Bottom line, there was violence, obviously. No sane person would deny that. It was also an act of anarchy. It was not, however, a murderous mob bent on killing politicians and taking over the country. That is the narrative Pelosi wants to promote and, with the joyous help of Kinzinger and Cheney, she'll get her wish. The hearing today was pure political theater. I damned near puked when Schiff tried to outcry Kinzinger.
Now your embellishing what happened. Potentially murderous mob...lives nearly taken away...in which none of that happened. At least by the rioters themselves.
We already had an embellishment with DC policeman killed with a fire extinguisher, which also didn't happen.
Nobody is claiming it was a peaceful protest. The fact is that it WAS NOT a murderous mob bent on taking over the government.
That's nothing but hyperbole and conjecture. The rioters didn't kill anyone, didn't kidnap anyone and left after the big ruckus. -snip-

Post a link to the witness who declared he or she was at Lowes or Home Depot noticing ("Pelosi wants to promote and, with the joyous help of Kinzinger and Cheney, she'll get her wish. The hearing today was pure political theater. I damned near puked when Schiff..") in early January any of the names you mentioned purchasing the building supplies to construct this. (IOW, you post revisionist history as justification for your RWE political propaganda.)
