Desecrating is a hell of a word to use, eh?
‘They desecrated the center of American government’: Michelle Obama
Former first lady Michelle Obama responded to Wednesday’s riots at the Capitol in a blistering statement a day later, saying her “heart had fallen harder and faster than I can remember.” (snip)
“In just a few hours, though, my heart had fallen harder and faster than I can remember. Like all of you, I watched as a gang — organized, violent, and mad they’d lost an election — laid siege to the United States Capitol,” she added. “They set up gallows. They proudly waved the traitorous flag of the Confederacy through the halls. They desecrated the center of American government.”
Like all of you, I’ve been feeling so many emotions since yesterday. I tried to put my thoughts down here: pic.twitter.com/9xzRvrpk7y

First, I thought it was “just property”? Isn’t that what they told us, that it was just property that could be replaced? Second, desecrate? Most definitions of the word revolve around things that are holy, like graveyards, shrines, temples, churches, and such. Are we actually treating federal buildings like the Capital Building as holy? Was this just a poor choice of words by Michelle, or, does this dovetail perfectly with Democrats belief in Government being super-awesome to the point of being a pseudo-religion, their belief in Statism?
BTW, further in the article, Obama drops some race baiting, claiming that things would be different had the protesters been black people. Because we all saw how they were treated differently. The cops were mostly told to stand down, even in the face of violence.
