How else would you define this: > [@](#): > > It’s time for the FBI to conduct a detailed investigation into the violence and political thuggery that continue to mar the presidential election’s aftermath. A thorough probe of the protests—to include possible ties to organizations demanding vote recounts—will give the Bureau’s integrity-challenged director, James Comey, a chance to sandblast his sullied badge. Then proceeds to use crap Okeefe’s ‘Project Veritas’ as evidence. It constantly refers to the protests (most of which have been peaceful) as ‘violent’ and ‘thuggery’ and compares the mostly peaceful protests to krstalnacth. What do you want to call it? ---
