6. These Republicans are targeting peaceful protestors.

If there are instigators, it is because the RW nutjobs are there to disrupt.

A large faction of the protests are made up of aging hippies, former flower children, and grannies. People are often there with their walkers or canes. There is an abundance of professional retired folks like librarians, teachers, and art teachers - hence the creative signs.

The First Amendment entitles us to freedom of speech and the right to peacefully assemble, and to petition the Govt for a redress of grievances.

The current Republican leaders need to review their Constitution. Maybe they should go meet their constituents at the protests.
