What we know is this: While his vice president and members of Congress were under attack by an armed White supremacist mob, Trump sat and watched the horror unfold with glee. He lifted not one finger when calls for help came in. He made sure that the Capitol Police didn’t have the support or aid they needed to secure the building. And now, he will stand alone as the sole president of the United States to be impeached twice for his sedition. The events that unfolded didn’t manifest out of thin air nor were they the actions of “lone White wolves” as we have been led to believe every time White men and women commit egregious acts. No, they didn’t act alone. They answered the siren call to combat against their country.
They answered the call that came from inside the house.
