Donald J. Trump has failed in a major way the nation he was elected to lead.

Rioters today have stormed the U.S. Capitol while Congress was meeting to ratify an election that Trump lost to President-elect Joe Biden. Someone was reportedly shot inside in the building.

We are witnessing a full-scale, frontal insurrection on our hallowed government and Trump says the 2020 election was “stolen” from him and that the rioters “need to go home.”

That’s it. He said he understands their anger, but that they have to cease and desist.

The Seditionist in Chief can do no better than that … for God’s sake?

Earlier in the day, he spoke to a crowd of Trumpsters, urging them to march on the Capitol. They did what he said … and look what in the name of all that is holy has happened!

This riot is on Trump. He is responsible for it. He is responsible because of his refusal to concede an election he lost, because of his unfounded insistence of “widespread voter fraud” in the 2020 election, because he cannot stand the thought of being labeled a “loser.”

It has come to this.

This is the most disgraceful political episode in our history. It belongs solely and fully to Donald J. Trump. That will be his legacy.
