Fox News and other Republican sources tell us that Democrats are weak on crime and don’t support the police.
Who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021? How many Democrats in that mob hit or assaulted a Capitol policeman? Republicans may not want to hear it, but the answer is zero.
Can anyone name a Democrat or member of antifa who was guilty of looting or arson but not arrested during the Black Lives Matter demonstrations?

Who is filling the airwaves with threats of violence in retaliation for the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Largo? It’s not Democrats.
Just who do Republicans think those folks doing the threatening are going to have to attack, if not the police?
