The time to say "enough" was in 1995 when the Oklahoma City Federal Building was bombed.

The republican congress instead covered up the role of right wing militias and the rhetoric from AM radio, Fox News and others escalated.

We can't turn back the clock but we can make it clear that participating in a violent insurrection will be prosecuted and encourage this violence will not be allowed on public airwaves.
