I’ve participated in hundreds of demonstrations in my life, including ones attacked by police, and others where provocateurs started violence. I’ve marched on the Capitol and the White House and the Pentagon. There is zero equivalence between any of those sorts of actions and what that Trump-loving violent mob and our Lame Duck “Commander-n-Chief” tried to do on Jan. 6th, 2021.
What the then still President Trump did NOT do for some three hours — as he was begged to call off the mob —shows his real betrayal and real attitude infinitely more than his phony words about a “peaceful protest” that most rioters obviously didn’t hear or pay attention to.
TWO MONTHS after losing the election and having scores of court appeals go against him, he did NOTHING but watch his supporters as they violently attacked police and seized the Capitol. Like his sycophant the equally old and repugnant Giuliani, he wanted “trial by combat.” Trump betrayed his duty to protect the Constitution and our Republic. For that he should have been immediately impeached.
