Merciless Republican Traitors Beg for Mercy While Many Still At-Large
Don’t give it to them: the moment demands justice
For many Americans, it’s just now starting to seriously sink in that on January 6th Donald Trump’s allies killed five people in an attempt to violently overthrow the government of the United States and replace it with an strongman oligarchic dictatorship.
Their violence was so severe that additional dozens were hospitalized and the Vice President, members of Congress and their staffers spent hours hiding in terror. One policeman was murdered, a second committed suicide, and dozens of others were viciously beaten. The traitors brought into our Capitol building the battle flag of the insurrection of 1861, smeared feces on carpets and walls, stole classified documents, and trashed government offices.
They rampaged from office to office, smashed windows and doors, all the while chanting “Hang Mike Pence” and “Where’s Nancy?” as a sturdy gallows awaited just outside the building.
And it was entirely the effort of elected officials and partisan enthusiasts of a single political party: Republicans. (Yes, some Fox News propagandists say there were “Democrat infiltrators” in the crowd; it’s a lie, and there’s no evidence to support the charge.)
