Republican insurrectionists are guilty of sedition

Echo opinion letter published in the Ellwood City Ledger, in 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.

In fact, they can’t read.

When metal barricades are draped with the sign “area closed” and uniformed armed police are standing behind them, you don’t cross that line, or else risk breaking 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.

Attorney General Merrick Garland vows to hold all January 6th perpetrators accountable under the 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 (#VoteBlue!) for a United States of America for the future of children and grandchildren.
