As a matter of demonstrable fact, it’s pretty obvious that @BetoORourke and @AOC have done more these last few days to help Texans than @tedcruz and @JohnCornyn.
What I'm seeing happening in our nation's capital is an absolute disgrace and it was brought on by demagoguery and lies. It's unbelievable that this could be happening in our precious America. We must learn from this.
These are not protestors. They are law-breakers, they are rioters, they have attacked our Capitol, and they need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
If VP Pence—a nationally elected constitutional officer—were a decent and serious person, he would make a statement telling people to leave the Capitol, and he would announce he intends to try to secure today from a majority of the Cabinet the invocation of the 25th amendment.
What we are witnessing in Washington is a very sad and dangerous day in America. The thugs will not win. They are losers. But there will be damage and I pray not bloodshed. This is on Trump and all who abetted his authoritarianism.
