Contrast the treatment of the non-violent Hodgkins with what happened when Islamist-socialist Linda Sarsour and her band of screaming protesters disrupted another official proceeding in 2018, in this case the confirmation hearing of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
“At least 227 demonstrators were arrested between the start of the nomination hearings on Tuesday and the end of testimony on Friday, according to the U.S. Capitol Police. Most of those charged this week with disorderly conduct, crowding or obstructing paid fines of $35 or $50,” NPR reported at the time.
The lesson here with this double standard on official proceeding-disrupting appears to be that conservatives who do it go to prison, but leftists who do it go home. Many of the people arrested in connection with January 6 are still rotting in jail awaiting trial.
Essentially, what Hodgkins did was trespass and demonstrate without permission on the Senate floor where he stood for 15 minutes waving a pro-Trump flag and taking selfies.
Speaking of which, I wonder how this "insurrection" case will be handled; aren Townsend at Hot Hair, Rep. Hank Johnson arrested at voter rights protest... irony ensued and at NYPo, Georgia Democratic congressman arrested in voting rights protest (my bold).
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) and eight others were arrested Thursday after they took part in a voting rights protest that illegally blocked the door of a Senate office building on Capitol Hill.
Johnson, 66, who has represented a majority-African American district east of Atlanta since 2007, tweeted that he was “protesting against Senate inaction on voting rights legislation & filibuster reform.
Lock him up and throw away the key until all the Jan. 6th protestors have been sentenced.
Politico reports ‘Deadly serious’: Pelosi goes to war with GOP over Jan. 6, "The speaker has made overseeing an investigation of the deadliest attack on the Capitol in two centuries into a core mission." Kerry Picket at WaEx, House Republicans could target Liz Cheney's committee assignment, for playing Nancy Pelosi's foot soldier. "In early July, when Cheney's name first surfaced as a possible across-the-aisle appointment by Pelosi, McCarthy told reporters, “I’m not making any threats about committee assignments. But you know how Congress works.”"

“There were 74,000 EV33 forms that did not have matching EV32s. EV33s are for received ballots, while EV32s are for sent ballots. This was brought up in the context of justifying why we should do canvassing, because the situation didn’t (1/5)
In a strange series of events, the Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) is being sued for updating its policy and allowing voting machines to include Internet access. These policy changes were discussed in private with voting machine companies and silently passed by the EAC without required public debate.
Newsbusters, MSNBC Doubles Down On Biden’s Lies About GOP Voting Laws
Stacy McCain, Fact Check: Were 2020 Polls ‘Rigged’? Is There Even Any Need to Ask Anymore?. Most polls are always rigged. Usually, early on, they are way optimistic on Democrat prospects, hoping to depress Republican turn out. As the election get closer, they veer a little closer to the truth, hoping not to look too bad when the election actually occurs. This was a weird election by any standards, and they didn't even bother trying to really sample the population.
Cutie Pavlich at Town Hall, says It's Official: The NSA Unmasked Tucker Carlson
Three weeks after Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused the National Security Agency of reading his communications, the agency has confirmed he was unmasked.
"The nation’s top electronic spy agency found that Carlson was mentioned in communications between third parties and his name was subsequently revealed through 'unmasking,' a process in which relevant government officials can request the identities of American citizens in intelligence reports to be divulged provided there is an official reason, such as helping them make sense of the intelligence documents they are reviewing," the Record reports.
