   You want to play that game? Let's.   
      
   Yesterday, Ben Bergquam, a right-wing influencer, videoed outside   
   Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker's home and told his supporters to "take   
   action". I'm sure he meant "write a letter", which is why he showed the   
   front of the house. I'm sure he wasn't telling anybody to commit a   
   violent act and where exactly to go to do it.   
      
   Yer gonna condemn the Right for hinting at committing an act of   
   retaliatory violence too, yes? Or does your admonision apply to Louis   
   only?
