On Wednesday, Jan. 6, we witnessed the hijacking of President Donald Trump’s rally. The president called on his supporters to demonstrate their disapproval of the 2020 election. He did not encourage them to attack and illegally enter and damage the Capital.
History and the Wednesday timeline support this position. Trump’s rallies, while very large, have been peaceful. No looting, property damage, or assaulting of police. Republicans are peaceful, law-abiding, loyal Americans.
