House of Representatives gives in to fear

The House of Representatives canceled its session today because of fears of a “possible plot” by an obscure militia group known as the Three Percenters to storm the Capitol.

That’s shameful!  What are they afraid of?

There are thousands of National Guard troops being kept in Washington, D.C., just to protect Congress from a repetition of the events of Jan. 6.

I think there’s little likelihood of such a plot being real.  But even if it were, members of the House should be willing to stand up and show they are not going to be terrorized by threats, whether real or imaginary.

The U.S. Senate is meeting as usual.
