For the first time in history, a sitting president did not get an invitation to the funeral of the former Vice President

The funeral service was by invite only.

A. Try to crash the services and make it all about himself, or,
B. Call this Sedition, demand everyone there be arrested for snubbing him.

As far as B., the day is still young.
