January 6: definition of sedition

Opinion letter echo: January 6 , 2021, the insurrection was sedition!

Published in the Ellwood City Ledger in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania:

The select bi-partisan committee that’s investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Trump-inspired Republican insurrectionists that attacked and invaded the U.S. Capitol to invalidate the Electoral College votes for President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris missed their reading class in school, they can’t read. (Today President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are the victorious candidates who defeated #TheFormerGuy in 2020.)

January 6, 2021 mob in seditious attempt to violently overturn the 2020 presidential election.

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.

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.

If you liked “Tricky Dick Nixon,” you had to be in love with “Corrupt Trump.”

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