Yep, Legitimate Political Discourse:
Another hit for the lie that nobody brought weapons to the Capitol on Jan. 6:
Missouri man Jerod Thomas Bargar, 36, was arrested TODAY for bringing this firearm — in its "distinctive" flag and “We The People” holster — to Capitol grounds, feds say.
Investigators say Jerod Thomas Bargar, 36, of Centralia, Missouri, illegally brought a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol across state lines and into the District of Columbia, where he is not licensed to carry a gun, and lost it during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack. https://t.co/miLxsO8onV

My name is James Lankford. I’m coming for your healthcare. I’m coming for your birth control. Just like Trump, I think women are human vessels for man’s pleasure. I think Women must submit out of reverence for man, which incudes 13 year old girls having sex with men. pic.twitter.com/x85fHgccB0
Republican Senator Blocks Bill to Protect Doctors Providing Legal Abortion Care from Extreme Attacks
Republicans just blocked my bill that would protect doctors from being investigated or thrown in jail for providing abortion care in states where it’s LEGAL.
First they attacked women. Now they’re coming for doctors too. It’s unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/sKNgzb5ffZ
Sen. Patty Murray "Republican state lawmakers are drafting legislation that would make it a crime to provide abortion care to a resident, even in another state, where it is legal. That means doctors in my home state of Washington could face lawsuits." pic.twitter.com/OYz9GIaRMi
