Again, this is 100% true.
Mike Lawler was the first co-sponsor of the Make Greenland Great Again Act in the House, which only emboldened and encouraged Trump's idiotic and dangerous gambit to take Greenland and threaten the existence of NATO.
Lawler is as unfit for office as Trump.

A frightening byproduct of professional activism is that average people think they need to be certain, brave, and an expert in order to go do something. You don't. Do it unsure. Do it scared. Do it without having read all the books. Showing up for your community doesn't require a degree.

If you think this is just “online-radicalized protesters,” you’re not paying attention. People have seen the videos: folks dragged from cars, tear-gassed, kids pulled off the job.
Prosecutors are resigning, cops aren’t being investigated, and somehow the victims get labeled “terrorists.”
