Our nation’s capital was attacked on Jan. 6, 2021, by American rioters. Those rioters used violence against U. S. citizens in an attempt to prevent the vice president from reading 2,000 presidential electoral votes as required in Article II, Section 1 of our Constitution.
This violence included injuring 140 Capitol police officers; killing one Capitol police officer; breaking, entering and occupying our Capitol; and delaying the reading of the electoral votes. Four other police officers committed suicide after protecting our nation’s Capitol.
Our president at the time waited until approximately three hours after the violence began to ask the rioters to go home. Our president did not criticize the rioters. In fact he called them “very special” and proclaimed, “We love you.”
We should not support a presidential candidate that loves domestic terrorists. Rather, we should demand our presidents to be 100 percent committed to enforcing and complying with all our laws and our Constitution. Given the recent Supreme Court decision providing presidential immunity to prosecution, we should double down on our demand for a law-abiding president.
Remember Jan. 6, 2021, and read the Jan. 6, 2021, committee report before you vote.
