    What the hell, NBC News? Calling Jordan a “firebrand” (someone who is passionate about something)? That’s like calling Andrew Tate a “self help guru.”

        Where, in this case, “anger issues” translates to “was scheming to overthrow the government and install Trump as dictator.”

        The fucking media is really doing whatever it can to whitewash these insurrectionists’ reputations.
