Am I the only one who doesn’t understand why Al Franken had to resign for a joke photo he took years before he was a senator, but Kevin McCarthy who openly fantasized about assaulting Nancy Pelosi is allowed to stay in government?

Answer me this: if @GOPLeader McCarthy thinks anyone but Trump was responsible for January 6, why is Trump the ONLY person McCarthy contacted to call off the attack? McCarthy didn’t call @SpeakerPelosi or Antifa, etc to stop it. He knew then and he knows now.

It’s been 24 hours since @gopleader McCarthy threatened violence against @SpeakerPelosi. RT if he should apologize or resign. https://t.co/GWotTe5398

They intended to EXECUTE the Speaker of the House on January 6th, but now Kevin McCarthy thinks it's OK to joke about assaulting her with an oversized mallet?#ResignMcCarthy

My good friend and colleague Gunther Hashida who is an MPD officer who responded to the January 6th insurrection has taken his own life. His family has setup a gofundme page. Please consider helping them and retweeting to pass on. https://t.co/MpbSXWKnD6 https://t.co/MpbSXWKnD6

Huh. A pretty relaxed crowd before Pelosi’s Capitol Police started randomly flash banging and tear gassing them 🤨 https://t.co/ysYlSM8hIJ

Deeply saddened to learn another officer who responded to the U.S. Capitol on 1/6 took his own life. MPD Officer Gunther Hashida should be remembered for his heroism that day, and every other day he served in uniform. @CNN more detail to come.

The line on January 6th was the seat of American democracy — and the brave men and women of the @CapitolPolice and @DCPoliceDept held that line while facing unbelievable violence and cruelty.

We need to know the truth of that day and must hold who did this accountable. pic.twitter.com/K557p1J23s
