So the Republicans give a standing ovation to the QAnon, white supremacist, Trump-loving, conspiracy-mongering denier of Sandy Hook & Parkland mass murders of children. Believe them when they tell you they’ve abandoned our democracy & no longer want to govern, only exploit power.
I don’t want to see another article saying Republicans privately oppose Marjorie Taylor Greene. We’ve had four years of this disgusting enabling. If they don’t reject her publicly, it’s not simply cowardice, it’s complicity.
If inciting a violent, deadly insurrection on the US Capitol and Congress is not enough to convince Senators to convict Trump and ban him forever from public office, what is?
The officer we are honoring today was killed because Donald Trump refused to concede, spread lies about our election, and called for an insurrection on Jan. 6th, aided and abetted by right wing media and mainstream republicans.
They are all complicit.
Officer Sicknick died defending our Capitol & our democracy because violent insurrectionists were incited by Donald J. Trump, who only cared about holding onto power by any means necessary. I hope his murder, this personal trauma, is remembered when Republicans oppose conviction.
