Donald J. Trump

Accused & Guilty

When I hear elected officials of this party, who are Republicans, say that they could never have imagined foreseeing what happened on January 6th in the Temple of American Democracy, I almost want to laugh. How can they not understand the consequences of a phenomenon of which they are the main cause? This attempt at sedition, that they find surprising, is only the culmination of their four years of tacit or ostensible complicity with Donald J. Trump’s salvos on American democratic institutions.

What hypocrisy! How many times have we heard that the president just crossed the line? And this, with the blessing of elected Republican officials, who were in collusion, no doubt, with this demagogue, for four years!
