The Spin

Democratic narrative

Griffin represents the worst among election deniers and right-wing conspiracy theorists, so it was easy for Mathew to take these actions. Hopefully, this ruling will turn the tide nationwide because too many Republicans have been let off the hook by the courts since Jan. 6.

Republican narrative

This is a double standard. If Griffin is an insurrectionist who violated the 14th Amendment, then so too are BLM rioters as well as those who protest outside Supreme Court justices' homes. Using it against Griffin while letting left-wing extremists off the hook is the ultimate hypocrisy.
