Senate sergeant-at-arms quits after Capitol riot

no one can tell me that have had been a group of black lives matter protest ing Yesterday there wouldn't have been. They wouldn't have been treated very, very differently on the mob of thugs that stormed the capital. We all we all know that's true, and it is unacceptable, totally unacceptable. We witnessed two systems of justice when we saw one that let extremist storm the United States Capitol and another that released tear gas on peaceful protesters last summer. The American people have expressed brightly outrage. We know this is unacceptable. We know we should be better than this.
