GOP Senators showed us their party is still in Trump’s thrall, more devoted to him than to America’s ideals.
Yet, I remain hopeful.
America was built by those who believed in something never seen before — a government of the people.
It will be rebuilt with the same faith.
As people lay dead and injured, our Capitol desecrated, Trump tweeted at 6:01 pm:
“These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away...”
Trump was knowing, willful, and remorseless.
Anyone now seeking national redemption by claiming to no longer support Trump must acknowledge how wrong it was to ignore & enable his corrupt, dishonest, & divisive agenda.
Total denunciation of a despot’s legacy is necessary to eradicate any remaining malignancy.
Donald Trump should be removed from power immediately. The 25th Ammendment should be invoked. He should be impeached and tried in the Senate. He is unfit to have the Nuclear codes.
Donald Trump spent years demagoguing, lying, spreading hate, and propagating conspiracies on Twitter. And worse, inciting violence.
Social media companies have allowed this vile content to fester for too long, and need to do much more.
But banning him is a good start.
Adam Johnson of Parrish, Florida has been identified as the man caught in a viral photo stealing a lectern from the U.S. House during Wednesday’s violent mob attack on the Capitol. Why hasn’t he been arrested?
These people are Domestic Enemies. Period. The Constitutional Oath of Office addresses this. It swears the Member to defend the US Constitution against foreign and domestic enemies. This is @realDonaldTrump ‘s legacy. It is @SenTedCruz and @HawleyMO and @RonJohnsonWI fault .
One person is responsible for the surreal act of sedition unfolding at our Nation’s Capitol.
His name is Donald J. Trump, & he is being enabled by many Republicans in Congress.
Trump must be held accountable.
He is an indelible blight on America’s soul.
This is a moment of profound national humiliation. The worlds oldest Constitutional Republic has been turned into a lawless Banana Republic by @realDonaldTrump and @VP and @GOPLeader. We are shamed and every adversary in the world is cheering.
