Speaking of Cognitive Dissonance and Hypocrisy

Black Michigan rep Sarah Anthony gets an armed escort into the state capitol after demonstrators carrying Confederate Flags, nooses and swastikas protested lockdown [More]
Actually, the Rebel Back Off Flag promotes this sentiment:
Back off if you don't know your history! Back off if you think I'm racist!
The swastika shown was on a sign protesting the dictatorial national socialist actions of Gretchen Whitmer, and any nooses were meant as symbols of warnings to tyrants, not as threats against minorities.

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to prevent persecution by a majority and ensure due process and unalienable rights for all. So leave it to apologists for totalitarianism to promulgate Opposite Day smears.

So much for this lie.

And so much for this one:

The escort must have reason to believe that won't affect them.  Either that or they're just not getting it.

I just scanned the Twitter feeds for all the major grabber groups and didn't see any protest against her armed escort. I stipulate I'm in a hurry to get a bunch of stuff done and didn't spend a lot of time, so if anyone can find a tweet that predates the time stamp on this post, please share the link in comments.

UPDATE -- Tangentially Related:
Leftists giddy over photo of 'white supremacist' yelling at Michigan shutdown rally. But it's fake news once again.
And the lie was started by the same sphincter I had to sic the Model 101 on the other day.
