| #2 And when a small party of violent zealots prevent the elected government from legally fulfilling the promises that were the reason for its election, then that small party should be properly prosecuted and punished for their lawbreaking, Mr. Joe. The core of these protests, as is always the case ii France, is the whim of the Communist parties and their fighting arm, Antifa. |
