Was it an attempted overthrow of the U.S. Government, or not? Facts only, please.

The comment you refer to was not made by me.

“Overthrow” is misleading. 
They certainly intended to impede a specific and vital act of our democracy.

There is clear evidence of sedition and insurrection.

I can agree with that. Can we also agree the left wing protests this past year are guilty of the same thing? 

The reason I ask is because the condemnation was nearly absent from the liberal side when protesters attempted repeatedly over a period of weeks to burn down the federal courthouse in Portland, possibly killing those inside.

Can I get an awoman?
