So this justifies him leading an insurrection into their chambers? This is peak hypocrisy he must be out in prison if there is any justice. If anything then for his assaults. And it has nothing to do with BLACK

Aotearoa, New Zealand and Aotearoa New Zealand are all official names for my country.
Kia Ora (Be well) is our official greeting. Our anthem is sung in Māori and English. NZ currency has Māori and Pākehā shown on the notes.
Even once apartheid South Africa, has now been ruled by dark brown for 39 years and has an anthem containing several local languages.
The US has No official indigenous greeting, The Land of the Brave on Reservations and not shown on currency. Why does America refuse to grow up?
