Trump Should Be Impeached

Defilement of our Capitol needs a response.

Trump Should Be Impeached

Donald Trump should immediately be impeached. Vice President Pence should immediately invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. These things should happen not just because Trump continues to commit crimes against democracy, but because what he incited on January 6 can only be described as a defilement of his own government by white supremacists, some carrying the Confederate battle flag into the Capitol.

Race, as with all things Trump, is at the heart of what happened on January 6. Think about it. If it had been Black Lives Matter protestors, instead of white supremacists, do you really think the seditionists would have been able to enter the Capitol, hold it hostage, and threaten lawmakers, who were in the process of carrying out their constitutional duty to certify a presidential election?

His base, which stormed the Capitol, was dominated by: the Proud Boys, neo-Nazis, "Baked Alaska" (a white supremacist group), and "Angry Viking," another racist group which broadcast from inside the Capitol. QAnon's "Q Shaman" was on the Senate floor posing in front of men with MAGA hats. His Congressional supporters only challenged swing states with large populations Black and Latino voters.
