Citizens for Ethics & Responsibility in Washington got it right
On January 6th, 2021, insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol in support of Donald Trump, with many breaking into the building and ransacking offices while members of Congress fled for their lives.
CREW combed through court filings and public statements and found that 210 defendants from 40 states and the District of Columbia who were charged for their participation in the January 6th insurrection said they were answering Donald Trump’s calls when they traveled to Washington and joined the violent attack on the Capitol.
From Proud Boys and Oath Keepers to individual members of the public, these people saw Trump as their leader and believed they were following his call by joining the insurrection.
, this bolsters the evidence that the insurrection was a direct result of Trump’s word and Trump’s actions.
Well over a thousand insurrectionists have been held accountable – charged for obstruction of law enforcement, remaining in a restricted building or grounds, engaging in physical violence in a restricted building, seditious conspiracy and more.
One insurrectionist hasn’t yet faced serious consequences: Donald Trump.
