John, the President is a traitor and an ongoing threat to American democracy.

Republicans who disagree must be fundamentally dishonest, unserious, or anti-American.

 

Let’s state it in plain English: the President of the United States, after falsely declaring an election was stolen from him, sicced an armed, violent mob on the Capitol during a joint session with the Vice President present. 

 

This was no Constitutional assembly. These terrorists were not petitioning for a redress of grievances.

 

This was an attempted coup d'état against the United States government, orchestrated by President Trump, and abetted by the Sedition Caucus.

 

We still have many more questions than answers about this assault on our democracy—who impeded the National Guard from entering the District, and why? What was Trump’s true intent? What were the ultimate goals of the insurrectionists seen with firearms, zip ties, and nooses?

 

It seems that the more we learn about January 6, 2021, the more shocking and appalling it becomes. We were just seconds, and just inches away, from a total decapitation of the Federal Government. 

 

First, second, and third in the line of presidential succession—Vice President Pence, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and President pro tempore Chuck Grassley—were all present, and were all targets of the terrorists. 

 

We will learn much more in the days to come. But first, John, it is paramount for our national security, and to reaffirm the peaceful transfer of power, that we depose President Trump as soon as possible. 

 

Reporting on Mike Pence’s thinking indicates the 25th Amendment will not be used—so impeachment for inciting an insurrection is the next best route.

 

As calls for removing Trump quickly spread through Washington, many Republicans—themselves largely in the Sedition Caucus—have rejected the idea for the sake of “unity.”

 

To them, I ask, what better way to unify the country than a bipartisan impeachment and removal of a treasonous demagogue? Rather—what is unifying about allowing crimes against our very Constitution to continue to go unpunished?

 

We cannot set a precedent in this country that a failed coup attempt is excusable conduct for the President. 

 

John, can you pitch in $100, $50, or $13 to help us remind the Sedition Caucus that they’re playing with fire?

 

Congress must act on the House’s impeachment articles expeditiously.

 

Every minute the President remains in office is a minute too long for our Republic. 

 

It’s time to remove Trump from the seat of our government. And it’s time for the Sedition Caucus to pay for crimes against our country.
