this is jimbo in california, independent. caller: hi, john.ey, every january 6, about howe is going to be insulted again, how people are going to tell me that which i saw on c-span that day did not happen. and it is just tiresome to hear it every year. you did not see that, that did not happen. this coming from someone who just has a visceral hate for both political parties. ok, i have no need for either of you. but what i really am tired is this maga crowd trying to tell me that i did not see what i saw on january 6. all right. now you're just downright insulting to us, to all of us. you know what? donate -- own it, because it is who you are. that is what you need to understand, that your continuous repetitive, nauseating allies do not penetrate the american people. one other thing, john. when you look at that scene where the police are being pushed in at the bike racks, i want everyone to visualize, had it been a sea of black faces primarily, as a bunch of white people, how would police have responded then? with there have been bloodshed tha
