Republicans only Argument

The Facts are the Facts!

Since last summer, Donald Trump said the only way he would lose the election was by massive fraud. He made clear he was not going to accept the election results unless he won. That was the theme of his stump speeches. That and how he was the greatest president ever.

The election occurred and he lost. That is a fact, there is no debate.

Donald Trump has used the time since the election telling his supporters they must help him “Stop the Steal.” He invited his most ardent supporters to Washington, D.C. on January 6th.

He knew these people included members of extreme groups advocating the overthrow the US Government by violent revolution. To say he didn’t is criminally naive. That would make he unsuitable for public office.

He addressed a large crowd which he urged a strong angry response. Donald Trump still says most people are very angry. I know I’m angry at Donald Trump, but I will not go to the White House and overpower with my friends the security in place.

But that is just what he did? He urged them to be strong, to seek out and intimidate the members of Congress. The mob inside the capital building was not an accident. This event was scheduled, encouraged, and welcomed by Donald Trump.

The incursion in the Capital Building

was a violent act. The capital police were quickly overpowered. What happened at the capital was a revolt against our government. It was treason. Scheduled, encouraged, and invited by Donald Trump.

Even now he continues his claims of election fraud and has not called Joe Biden to congratulate him. His actions are those of a loser, a sore loser.

The Republican Reaction.

The biggest reason that the republicans argue that Donald Trump impeachment will divide our country further. My response is denying the truth divides us. If we can at least agree on the facts, then we can resolve our issues.

Denying facts divide us and give us no means to compromise. The dangerous precedent would be to not act. The best way to remove this blight from our country is through the removal of its leader. Yes, prosecute those who committed crimes within the capital, but to not impeach Donald Trump says that lies and incitement, that the leaders are not fault.

Treason must not go unpunished.

We can not set the precedent to not act when treason occurs. Action must be swift and sure.

Mitch McConnell.

Call the senate back into session. Remove Donald Trump from office.

Anything else will deny the facts and continue to divide this country.
