Pro-Trump activist Ali Alexander (unfathomably a black man supporting a racist) has named Paul Gosar, Mo Brooks and Andy Biggs as three congressmen he met with to co-ordinate pans for the attack on the Capitol.

Gosar has 5 or 6 siblings who denounced him years ago as a right wing nut job and disown him. Brooks was the arsehole who got on Trump's podium screaming "Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass!" Jaw droppingly he later claimed he was talking about a donkey.

What’s that got to do with them being white? If you don’t like the way they’ve voted or the policies they’ve supported, name and shame.

I was commenting on your words, not hers.
