"This mostly peaceful protest was marred by a few bad apples, acting totally independently from the President."

Mostly peaceful? Not what the country saw on live TV!

Of course not. The tv only showed the few dozen Antifa and Qtards breaking in. It doesn't show the million patriotic peaceful Trump supporters trying to stop them, or the DC police opening barricades and letting them in.
Do some research and find out for yourself.

I saw hundreds of rioters wearing MAGA hats and waving Trump flags attacking the police, smashing windows, and desecrating the Capitol. Trump supporters, not Antifa!

Republicans definitely need to learn how to self regulate their groups so things like this and the Confederate flag lead to expulsion.
