There were cops present, watching & listening to the nazis as they broke laws around hate speech & inciting hate. Were they instructed not to intervene .... with bats, pepper spray & arrests .... like they do with climate change or anti genocide protesters??
What instructions were they given ??

Also, Republicans could have used filibuster reform to pass it if they really wanted to. They already reformed the confirmation process. If Trump really wanted to avoid a shutdown, he could have ordered his Senate to do it. He just wants to blame Dems and make use of what opportunities it provides.
