Does no one remember antifa (and similar groups) trying their best to block people from attending Trump's inauguration? And yet people FOUGHT through them to get to that inauguration.
As for COVID being a causative agent in Washington DC yesterday, well, seems it didn't have much influence in Florida.

I had to crank the sound all the way up watching Biden's inauguration parade, and honestly, I believe I could have heard a pin hit the pavement if someone dropped it.
