*You are talking nonsense. On January 20, 2021 Congress had no Speaker Of
The House, the old Democratic Speaker's term of office had expired and the
new Republican controlled Congress had not yet voted on who should be the
new Speaker Of The House, there was not even a clear front runner .*

* > Congress had a result from the EC.  That is all that matters.*


*But according to the Constitution Congress does NOT have a result from the
Electoral College until the Vice President certifies that there is a result
from the Electoral College.  *

*> Congress has tunnels to a safe location that protestors cannot reach. *


*So we shouldn't be concerned that the current POTUS staged an
unsuccessful coup d'état 5 years ago and there is no reason to criticize
him for doing so becauseCongress has a secret underground tunnel they can
hide in if something like that happens again? Is that really the best
argument in favor of He Who Must Not Be Named actions on that day that you
can think of? *

*And as for Congress never being in any danger on September 6, 2021,
REPUBLICAN Senator Josh Hawley would disagree with you. He can be seen on
surveillance video running in terror (presumably to that secret tunnel of
yours that you think guarantees the constitution can never be violated)
just a few hours after he gave a fascist salute to the mob of militia
members and other brainless right wing loonies attacking the capitol
building.*
