Protestors occupied Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) office on Monday demanding that lower chamber of Congress reauthorize federal spending on the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
“Pass PEPFAR now, McCarthy! Pass PEPFAR now, McCarthy!” chanted the protestors before eventually being arrested by members of the Capitol Police.
Well, if I’ve learned anything from the Freedom Caucus, then these people shouldn’t be charged because they were obviously just patriotic tourists.
Of course, I’m sure the right will continue to insist that that January 6th Insurrectionists were peaceful tourists while decrying these people as violent woke antifa terrorists.
