Every movement has a lunatic fringe

As he voted to give Trump as pass on his incendiary incitement insurrection, Tom McClintock (R-CA) said "if we impeached every politician who gave a fiery speech to a crowd of partisans, this Capitol would be deserted".  Our of context that may be defensible, but here, context matters. He is in fact saying that were Congress to adhere to the same standard of not inciting a riot against the very government of which members are a part and which they have sworn to uphold, the House would empty; to that my reply is "and a good thing too". Then, those irresponsible firebrands who disingenuously cloak themselves in the mantle of the First Amendment, would be replaced by representatives who took their responsibilities toward maintenance of good public order and not inciting violence a little more seriously that McClintock appears to. He also noted that "every movement has a lunatic fringe"; it's a pity he appears to be part of it.
