January 6th Trumpzi attacks threatened Vice President Pence and Speaker Nancy Pelosi
An echo opinion letter published in the Indiana Star Press:
Still, the Republicans that voted with Trumpzi was alarming!
 |
| Donald Trump is a dangerous fraud! |
Our democracy is shaking on its foundation. Our U.S. Capitol, where the legislative branch of our government works, was invaded by a large mob of angered Trumpzi #GQO (QAanon) loyalists who were incited by his persistent claim the presidential election was a rigged. Trump continued his fraudulent claims even after 60-plus lawsuits failed and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against his claim.
State election officials, including numerous Republicans, again and again had found no impropriety in the results.
When the attack occurred, both legislative branches were in session. Their sole purpose in meeting that day was to certify each state’s Electoral College votes — something routinely following a presidential election. That day, however, the legislators barely escaped the rioters who threatened to assassinate Vice President Pence and Nancy Pelosi.
The insurrection was scary, but more upsetting to me was that only hours after they had narrowly escaped the insurgents, over 100 legislators voted against certifying the election. This signified these legislators chose Mr. Trump’s unproven claims over the Constitution.
While I was pleased Senator Mike Braun R-Indiana, withdrew his objection to certifying electoral votes, he did so only after the insurrection, which means the rioters believed they had his support. Senator Braun, you are a smart man, so why did you not use your intelligence to recognize and admit Trump’s illegal claim about the election was totally unsubstantiated. It took an insurrection to convince you. Why?
