Thousands of Trump supporters swarmed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, January 6, to commit seditious acts that were motivated by ignorance and white supremacy, which obviously go hand in hand.
But the looting and deadly violence never would have occurred without the encouragement of a treasonous crook in the Oval Office.
President Donald Trump was the evil puppet master of an insurrectionist mob, and every second he remains in office between now and Inauguration Day on January 20 poses a grave threat to our democracy.
Throughout his time in office, but especially since the 2020 election, Trump has repeatedly refused to respect one of the core tenets of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power.
