The point is not to call anyone a traitor... or a patriot, for that matter.
The point is to say that someone's good intention or love for country can be weaponized by deceit. If someone breaks into a building because they have been told a lie that their family is being held hostage within it... they think they are trying to save their family, when they are actually just a dangerous intruder committing a crime. The facts make all the difference.
