They did not intend to overthrow the government, for starters. The fact that the two black lawmakers were expelled, but not the white woman also speaks to motive from the legislature. It’s transparent.

If you want a closer comparison, Congressman Joe Wilson screaming you lie at Obama during the SOTU is more of a parallel. Nothing happened to Wilson. Or for that matter the unscripted banter between Biden and Republican members of the Republican conference this year.

Again, nada happened to them.

This was racist, with the message-extremely clear and a reminder of where Republicans want to return to. Not even 1950, more like 1850.
