Q: Getting back to the Jeffries threat, this is one of a number of J6 pardons that's been rearrested. Did Trump make a mistake?
JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details. I'll tell you the violence on the left is far more prevalent than on the right. The rhetoric that you saw Saturday plays into it

I don't watch Fox, so I have no idea if they ran a segment on Don Lemon appearing on The Left Hook, saying people of color in Chicago should consider legally & peacefully exercising their 2nd Amendment Right to own arms.
Jesse Watters' show reached out to me for comment.

Are people allowed to peacefully protest their government in America? The GOP is doing everything they can to suppress turnout on Saturday.
Welcome to No Kings Eve. Trump is sounding and behaving kingly, and Republicans are at DEFCON 1 on the desperation meter. You can tell by their hallucinatory talking points, which are untethered from both reality and the Constitution. New from me at @msnbc.com:
