Trump is gone. That such a creature became president, and even now has support, requires a reckoning with no time for celebration. Repudiate, rebuild, renew. Above all, remember, so it doesn't happen again.
NEW:
All the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee just wrote a letter to Vice President Pence, urging him to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump:
The right way for this to end is in the invocation of the 25th amendment. There isn't time or process for impeachment. But Trump is unfit to serve further, and those around him know it.
Let me be very clear: the scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not represent who we are. What we are seeing is a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent, it's disorder. It borders on sedition, and it must end. Now.
If, when studying history, you don’t come across things that make you feel uncomfortable, upset and/or angry, you’re not doing it right. History is not a comfort blanket, it is chequered with the good, the bad and the grey areas of humankind.
Joe Biden participated in two general election vice presidential debates, and many primary debates in the past year, in a way that did no dishonor to this country. This debate is sickening to watch. It's a national humiliation. That's due to the behavior of one man: Donald Trump.
It's astonishing that, when asked a simple question, will you condemn white supremacists, @POTUS responded - "The Proud Boys should stand back and stand by." Trying to determine if this was an answer or an admission. @POTUS owes America an apology or an explanation. Now.
Having watched this disgrace tonight, I just want to say I'm proud to have been Never Trump from the beginning, I'm proud to be Never Trump today, and I'll be proud to remain Never Trump as long as necessary--hopefully for only five more weeks.
The President of the USA is trashing American democracy. This is literally unbelievable. Even after everything in the last four years — to see this is sickening.
