Angry Democrat Rep. Wants More Arrests

By Mike Huckabee

Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is angry that only about 300 people have been arrested for the rioting in the Capitol on January 6th when there were 40,000 Trump supporters in town that day “with the mindset to overturn a legitimate election and to kill the Speaker, the Vice President, and Members of Congress…What kind of justice is that?”

I can’t believe I have to explain this to someone over the age of five, much less a Congress member of over 25 years' standing, but here goes:

They weren’t arrested because they didn’t commit a crime. What you’re pushing is called “guilt by association,” an idea Democrats used to oppose. The 40,000 peaceful pro-Trump protesters were just exercising their First Amendment rights, which they have a right to do…you know, under the First Amendment.

One Twitter commenter suggested that Lee was advocating arresting people just for thinking. I can see how that would be advantageous for politicians like her.

    We desperately need term limits. She has been an angry and vindictive and corrupt politician, from her first day in office. She is using this job to get enormous wealth, with no interest in helping our country or our people. She is a criminal being protected by the false belief of serving the American people. Please, lets pass a comprehensive term limit law, and end the reign of the criminals in Washington, and put an end to the raping of our country.

    Sheila. We may not agree on many things, but I agree with you that we should have more than 300 arrested. I wanted to be in that crowd, I had friends who were in the crowd but they never made it all the way down to Congress. When they saw what was going on they turned around and left. My friends who were there are mostly in their 70s and more. They wanted to really participate in that right to assemble and protest, PEACEFULLY.
    John Kennedy was my commander in chief in the early 60s, he was the last Democrat I voted for. He would turn over in his grave if he could see what you dems are doing today.
    What I ask of you is to work together on both sides of the isle and make some Real accomplishment. Something that is good for all the people of this nation First, not just your 30%.
    If that's not possible, I ask for your resignation.
    Remember. You work for us. ALL OF US.

    It would only be justly fair if and when they arrest the thousands of BLM and ANTIFA protestors across the nation who were blatantly violent and caused much private property damage; and then finally, lawfully , charge them for their crimes; then maybe we could consider her hypocritical wishes.
