After today, Christians need to reckon with a dark reality like never before: white churches are training grounds for violent, anti-democratic radicalization.
Trump is directly responsible for this insurrection and violence. He needs to be removed from office immediately. It is the Constitutional responsibility of Vice President Pence and the cabinet to exercise the power granted them by the 25th amendment.
During the four years of the Civil War, the confederates never got closer to Washington than Fort Stevens. Until today, when insurrectionist supporters of @realDonaldTrump paraded through the U.S. Capitol Building carrying the Confederate battle flag.
I don't know the Jesus some have paraded and waved around in the middle of this treachery today. They may be acting in the name of some other Jesus but that's not Jesus of the Gospels.
This white man was allowed to break into the US Capitol, casually pick up a podium, and wave to the cameras.
I once had a Black client who was sentenced multiple years in federal prison for allegedly stealing a candy bar and a soda worth $2.
