If you mean like the law that I broke, I entered the building illegally.
If you mean like stopping people from stealing, volunteering to help the police, you know, saying a prayer inside the Senate, singing my shamanic song inside the Senate, stopping people from breaking in once outside the building and literally like facing an angry mob all by myself, telling everybody they're not going to break in.
You know, that also happened that day.
It really all depends on what you mean by your question.
Well, I remember it being a lot different than the mockingbirds in the media have spun it, that's for sure.
The chaos and the violence that took place outside the building that day was largely provoked, as far as I remember, by tear gas, concussion grenades, and rubber bullets being shot into a peaceful crowd.
It was after all that that all hell broke loose.
Is that right, Pam?
No.
And I think that the whole thing has just been mischaracterized in so many ways, myself included.
I mean, people think I'm an insurrectionist or a Republican.
I'm a libertarian.
There's so much distortion because of the media.
You know, one of the things I like to say is you don't realize how distorted the media lens actually is until you see your own reflection in it.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I did not go into the building for that reason.
And the fact that you still think that I did just shows how distorted the media lens actually is.
On that point, that's never been my intention.
the Supreme Court said that.
But didn't the Supreme Court just say that that is not a practical application of the law whatsoever and that the government was bending the law to gain convictions out of people?
