Agreed. But I can see a Liberal thinking it was serious attempt at 
rebellion (as I posit *we* would probably do if Antifa had done the same 
thing in a Trump won election) justifying that *in their minds* in the 
name of national security.  But it's Glenn's answer he needs to give and I 
am certainly hoping he will follow through.

Oh he does hate Trump.  Never denied that.  (Heck, Trump's not real high 
on my list and I *agreed* with the vast majority of his policies.)  But 
only Glenn can refute that he, therefore, supports Trump's censorship.  
If he disagrees, I am still calling on him to say so as his ultimate 
silence can only be perceived as support.
