Not first or Frist, but willing to put up a pic of the senior dog of the house.
She tends to ignore dog whistles, unlike the GOP thugs that overran the Capitol.
Organized differently, these clowns would have toppled Democracy and left our government with the options of accepting a dictator or putting down a White House coup. What was that Trump said back in 2015- he’d only hire the best Managers, good thing he doesn’t know what a good Manager is…

Clear regulations preventing the malicious weaponization of social media by politicians who use disinformation to incite violence is one way to keep that future at bay.

. Trump Calls On Supporters To Stop ‘Bags Of Crap’ Who Enter Polling Places (msn.com)
During a rally in Mason City, Iowa, Trump echoed his false claims that the 2020 election had been stolen from him, and said that “we’re not going to let it happen again.”
He added: “You should all stay in those voting booths. You should stay there and watch it. If you see bags of crap coming into the voting areas, you’ve got to stop it. You can’t let it happen, because these guys are crooked as hell. They know how to cheat.”
Trump, the current front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination, went on to declare that he and his backers wouldn’t allow Democrats to “rig” the 2024 election.
“We will fight for America like no one has ever fought before,” Trump said at the rally, held in advance of this month’s Iowa caucuses. “2024 is our final battle.”

“One online sleuth speaking anonymously to NBC said it was “frustrating” to see those who participated in the insurrection still walking free in their communities despite being reported to the FBI.”
Personally, I find it frustrating that TFG is still walking free.
