Our country is in the midst of a deadly pandemic and white supremacist violence. Cases are skyrocketing for the former, and the March for ‘Life’ aimed to distance itself from the latter with a vague post on Twitter after the attack on the Capitol patting itself on the back for “peaceful protest” and “loving witness.” [1]
