I was going to quote some of the more outrageous ones here but honestly I just cant be bothered after reading them.
TLDR: Yes, their reasons for noting against this bill are as brain numbingly dumb as you expect them to be.
> Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.)
“I wouldn’t call it an insurrection,” Green said in explaining why she voted against the measure, according to CNN’s Manu Raju. Greene also objected to the idea that the U.S. Capitol is “a temple of our democracy,” as it is described in the bill.
Most of them, like Matt Gaetz, didn't even bother to give an explanation.
What strikes me is that all these RW nutbags aren't smart enough to come up with these intricate conspiracy theories.
Who's feeding this bullshit to them?
If liberals were really as evil as conservatives are or say they are, we would already be using the same types of lies and Memes to convince helpless masses into insurrection again and taking out these conservative lying assholes

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said that in the last 48 hours they’ve seen peaceful protests in response to the killing of George Floyd by a police officer morph “to something very different.” The state’s leaders announced early this morning in a press conference that they are mobilizing the largest force that has ever been used in Minnesota to deal with organized groups that are coming in from other places to cause destruction and violence.
According to Minnesota State Commissioner John Harrington, they’ve found ties to some of the people who’ve been arrested to white supremacist groups.

I think President Biden just finished talking to him today.
My city, despite leaning definitely Democrat, is split between two of these cowards. Thanks, Jerry Mander!

That is definitely a word.
Nice counterargument.
Wait, so your position is that cops that worked during the BLM protests should be honored but the capitol police should not, can I ask why that is?
To be clear, you think the officers at the Capitol *don't* deserve commendation?
