No doubt about this: I will go to my grave never understanding how in the name of sanity can anyone justify what happened on 1\/6, how anyone can\u00a0possibly<\/em>\u00a0view the riotous mob of traitors as a demonstration of \u201clegitimate political discourse.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mob stormed Capitol Hill on the urging of a president of the United States who had lost re-election, who then exhorted his fanatic followers to \u201ctake back\u201d the government and to \u201cfight like hell\u201d if they felt the need to rough up whoever stood in their way.<\/p>\n

So, the rioters did what they were encouraged to do.<\/p>\n

Every time I watch video of that hideous demonstration of sedition, I get angry all over again. The traitors threatened to \u201chang Mike Pence!\u201d per the signs they were carrying. Have you seen the pictures of the noose? Lovely, yes? Pence, the vice president on that day, was performing his constitutional duty by leading the certification of the Electoral College tally that elected Joe Biden as president. Biden\u2019s predecessor would have none of it. Hence, he incited the rioters.<\/p>\n

And yet, there remains to this very moment congressional Republicans \u2014 who fled for their lives in the face of the rioters on 1\/6 \u2014 who deny what they witnessed in real time. They cast votes against impeaching the POTUS who fired up the mob. Some of them have said the mob was acting like any \u201ctourist\u201d group strolling through the Capitol Building.<\/p>\n

You \u2026 bet.<\/em>\u00a0I don\u2019t think any group of tourists would have sh** on the floor of the Capitol Building, or smashed through windows, or yelled profanities at police officers seeking to protect the House members and senators who were the traitors\u2019 targets.<\/p>\n

There needs to be some justice delivered for what happened on 1\/6. We\u2019re starting to get some trial results. A Wylie, Texas, man has been convicted of five felony counts related to his role in the riot. There will be many more trials and deals struck along the way.<\/p>\n

The president who caused it all? His day is coming, too. He needs to be held to account for the insurrection he incited. I do not want to check out of his world knowing that he has slithered his way clear once again.<\/p>\n
