Commentary

The national press barely covered the anti-mandate, anti-lockdown rally in D.C. (Jan. 23, 2022), and when they did, they mostly described it as an “anti-vaccine rally.” That’s a ridiculous thing to say about an event involving some 10,000-plus people who have had enough of the coercive impositions of the past nearly two years.
