Opinion echo letter: January 6, insurrection was sedition

The select bi-partisan committee that’s investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, #TFG Trump-inspired Republican insurrectionists that attacked and invaded the U.S. Capitol to invalidate the Constitutional Electoral College votes for President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris missed their reading class in school, they can’t read.

WASHINGTON, DC – January 6, 2021:

Congress held a joint session today to ratify President-elect Joe Biden’s 306-232, Electoral College win over President Donald Trump.

Alert! When you see metal barricades with a sign “area closed” with uniformed armed police standing behind them, you don’t cross that line and break the rule of law.

(Maine Writer- I agree with this statement!) 

In my opinion, what these insurrectionists did was sedition.

1. Incitement of discontent of rebellion against a government;

2. Any action promoting such discontent or rebellion.

Sedition is one step below treason. Trump’s Republicans should learn how to read so they know how to obey the Rule of Law.

Trump’s U.S Department of Justice tried to subvert and undermine our elections.

Wrong minded people who liked “Tricky Dick Nixon,” will fall in "cult love" with “Corrupt Trump.”

When you vote in 2022, and 2024, vote for a United States of America, for our Constitution, and for the democratic future for children and grandchildren.

* Chansley became perhaps the most identifiable of participants in the siege not just for his outfit, but because he was among those who entered the Senate chamber after lawmakers had fled the area. He at one point stood behind the desk of the presiding officer of the Senate, which had earlier that day been filled by then-Vice President Mike Pence. Pence was presiding over the certification of electoral vote results showing that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the election.
