2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.
4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a 4-year probe.
841,776 Covid deaths, an armed insurrection & theft of classified documents: They cheered, and want Trump to be president.
At this moment 3 years ago, I was presiding with then-Vice President Pence over the Joint Session of Congress to certify the 2020 election and the peaceful transfer of power to President Biden and Vice President Harris when a violent mob—enflamed by the former president—stormed the Capitol.
More than 2,000 rioters made it inside the building. Some in the massive crowd chanted “hang Mike Pence” while others swarmed outside my office chanting “Nancy, Nancy, Nancy,” even screaming about wanting to put a bullet in my head. Sadly, 140 police officers were injured by rioters. Many sustained long-lasting physical and emotional scars. Some officers later lost their lives. I feared for my members, the congressional staff, the workers who maintain the Capitol, the press, and the others who were present that day. Their stories are harrowing—and demonstrate extraordinary courage.
When the Capitol was eventually cleared, the Congress returned to certify the electoral count for the American people and the world alike to see.
January 6 was a perilous moment for our democracy. It was an attack not just on the Capitol, but on our Constitution. And some who carried out the assault under Lincoln’s dome were carrying the Confederate flag. But on that dark night, Congress again projected America’s strength and resolve.
3 years later, it is essential that #DemocratsDefendDemocracy with courage and commitment to ensure that next January 6th will be a peaceful and proud day for the American people. -NP
Rep. Adam Schiff: "The Constitution here is very clear. If you've held office, and you took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and then you essentially incited an insurrection against the Constitution, you're disqualified. That's not just the view of liberal constitutional scholars, but conservatives like Michael Luttig. If the Court follows the Constitution, as it claims to owe its fealty to, it shouldn't be that difficult a decision." @MSNBC
Biden: He calls those who oppose him vermin. He talks about the blood of America as being poisoned, echoing the same exact language used in Nazi Germany. He posts the words that describe his 2024 campaign: revenge, power, and dictatorship. There's no confusion about who trump is
Hey, CNN: One of your reporters said that the lowered cost of insulin is because of pharmaceutical companies. That's a lie. The lowered cost of insulin is because of President Biden's law that required them to lower costs to $35 for seniors. Give President Biden credit for once.
Jack Smith would not have used these 4 hypothetical examples in his recent filing to shoot down Trump's immunity claim, unless he had evidence that Trump did these crimes. Smith wouldn't hint at it, unless he had it and could back it up.
BREAKING: President Biden will deliver a campaign speech on January 6th to highlight the authoritarianism of Donald Trump. This is a significant moment for Biden to let American voters know what is at stake this election cycle. Retweet to get the word out.
President Biden will cast Donald Trump as a threat to democracy Saturday in a speech to be delivered on the third anniversary of the insurrection.
"Our message is clear, and it is simple: We are running a campaign like the fate of our democracy depends on it. Because it does."
Seems like someone is starting 2024 hangry. @realDonaldTrump - you and your lawyers have had the J6 cmttee materials (linked below) plus the grand jury info & much more for months. Lying about the evidence in all caps won't change the facts. A public trial will show it all.
Dear news media —
You’re failing this country with your coverage leading up to the 2024 election.
1️⃣ Stop reporting on Biden‘s age w/out reporting on Trump’s. They’re only 3 years apart and Trump is showing clear signs of cognitive decline. Report on that!
2️⃣ Stop confusing being balanced with being honest. Both sides have their problems, but it is simply false to say that both sides are equally to blame.
3️⃣ Stop normalizing fascism. When Trump calls for arresting journalist or says shit like, “poisoning the blood of our country” — call it out for what it is.
So as we begin the New Year — be on the side of the truth & democracy or we ALL lose. Thank you!
