The Twitter poster followed up with this .

“In any case”.. then things we all already know. He even realizes he spun it. Same with the “they’ve breached the capital again!” Cops letting them through a barricade video that keeps getting shared with the last second clipped out, showing hundreds of people already on that side. The commentary was meant to stir #### up, and spin what we were watching.
Not arguing that there is spin. For sure there is. If the offense taken is that Trump is "cheering on insurrectionists", I don't think it is made up. I mean, folks were wearing t-shirts telling everyone this was an insurrection. Not everyone stormed the capital, but a large number.

There was a report that Trump was "out of his mind" about the insurrection failing. That's bonkers. Not that there was an insurrection, but that it failed.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
