I reject this notion.  The term "militia" in the USA has a very clear legal definition.  None of us, not John, not even the venerable Adam Savage...

...are free to substitute a different definition for a legally-defined term.  The term militia is taken.  There are no neo-Nazi militias.  There are neo-Nazis of course.  But there is only one militia in the USA.  Only one.  

>...Accusing him thusly by swapping in a different definition of his words seems to be bordering on a personal attack against John....

The "different definition" is THE LEGAL definition of the term John used.  None of us are free to redefine legally-defined terms.

>...Perhaps you have forgotten, but the intent of the actions on that day was to have Trump declared by Congress to have been the winner of the election, in spite of the electors....

The intent of the actions that day is irrelevant.  Congress had a result from the EC.  That is all that matters.  Congress has tunnels to a safe location that protestors cannot reach.  They can continue with the business at hand, even with a riot going on in the capitol building.  They aren't there.
