4. No problem with "people caught up in that day" ??
Sun Jun 7, 2026, 06:04 AM
Yesterday

Strange phrase for someone who heard chants of Hang Mike Pence yelled by a violent mob who broke windows to forcibly and unlawfully enter a government building to interrupt the formal counting of electoral votes on a day that the Capitol was completely closed to tourists because of Covid. The same violent mob that erected a noose for Pence and who had members of Congress running for cover in fear for their lives.
