Trump Is to Blame for Capitol Attack

 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/06/opinion/trump-capitol-dc-protests.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage

President Trump and his Republican enablers in Congress incited a violent attack Wednesday against the government they lead and the nation they profess to love. This cannot be allowed to stand.

Mr. Trump’s seditious rhetoric prompted a mob of thousands of people to storm the U.S. Capitol building, some breaking onto the House and Senate floors, where the nation’s elected representatives had gathered to perform their constitutional duty of counting electoral votes and confirming the election of Joe Biden as president.

It is fitting that some carried the Confederate flag as they attacked the seat of American government and forced the suspension of congressional debate. They shattered windows and broke doors, clashing with overwhelmed security forces as they shouted their support for Mr. Trump and their defiance of the lawful results of the 2020 election. One woman was killed. The nation’s leaders were sent scurrying for shelter.

  1. Trump is one reaction to something more fundamental that has been brewing for years. Stop the incessant blame-placing on Trump. The source of the insurrection is the breakdown of morality in America. Those who managed to dodge the "abortion bullet" and actually get born are fighting for future fetuses and against the LGBTetc.

    Not one post on this blog against a cabinet with a man married to a man? How about make this comment a guest post titled, "America Goes to War Against G-d"?]
