A Fox News anchor seemed to be trying to justify why an angry mob stormed the Capitol on Wednesday. Fox & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt appeared to be defending the rioters this morning as she said, “They’re confused. They’re heart-broken that their candidate didn’t win. And they don’t want to be forgotten.” Most people are heartbroken when the candidate they voted for doesn’t win, but it’s a long way from hurt feelings to an attempted coup. It was a siege that in this case led to the deaths of five people, including a police officer.
So Ainsley is trying to justify treason? This is who they are. Fascists. pic.twitter.com/Dt8Xt0XgLz

I can tell you one thing, Ainsley. Sedition, assaulting police officers, and even murder is not the answer for your hurt feelings.
