Yesterday’s release of previously unseen videos of the chaos within the walls of the capitol expands the gravity of what occurred on January, 6th, 2021. We may all have different thoughts on the motivation leading up to this tragic event but the people involved are to be condemned. Clearly they weren’t patriots driven by their commitment to lofty ideas about democracy or to the rule of law. The vast majority of them were thugs from the ranks of extreme right wing groups. Republicans can’t deny that members of these groups have found a comfortable home in their party and the Trump tent. MAGA caps, clothing with Trump slogans and Trump flags are sufficient evidence to indicate that this is a fact. We must all show our indignation, disgust and outrage at what happened. I am absolutely convinced that if the Founding Fathers had ever seen such violence in the heart of our democracy they would all weep!
