It is imperative that President Trump suffer the criminal charges he may face. The proof of him inciting the crowd to march to the Capitol on Jan. 6, and telling them he’ll meet them there, is on tape. The travesty is that aside from the radical fringe groups, most of the people at the riot were everyday working people, many who ruined their lives by being duped by Trump and didn’t receive pardons.
Even worse are the shallow cowards who still support him in order to get reelected by the Trump base — Reps. Mike Kelly and Guy Reschenthaler, Sen. Josh Hawley, who apparently thinks he’ll be president some day, and Sen. Ted Cruz, who sold his soul after Trump defamed his family members. They refuse to do what’s right, disregarding the scary reality that there could have been multiple deaths in this attempted coup d’etat at our Capitol.
Hopefully the rule of law will triumph over Trump, whom his former chief of staff, Gen. John Kelly, called “the most flawed person I have ever met in my life.”
