These chuds were parading around a noose and chanting "Murder the Media" - by which they mean him and his colleagues! - and he's so deep in his bubble of privilege and security he feels the need to dole out humanizing anecdotes Like it makes any goddamn difference to them https://twitter.com/willcarless/status/1347035772424237058 …

That crazy-pills feeling of people talking about togetherness and reconciliation *directly in the aftermath of a coup* Deciding to just go ahead and move forward with a Congress that *went ahead and seated the elected officials who openly supported sedition*
