Alabama Republicans condemn the mob that stormed the Capitol on Wednesday but mostly do not blame President Trump, who fired up his supporters with false statements about his election defeat, or Congressman Mo Brooks, who told the crowd it was their day to start “kicking ass.”
Alabama Democrats do blame Trump for the riot that led to deaths and injuries and interrupted America’s time-honored process for peaceful transitions of power.
“When you incite a crowd like that, that you already know they are riled up because you continue to feed them lies about an election that you lost, something is inherently wrong with that man that called himself the president of these United States of America,” Senate Minority Leader Bobby Singleton, D-Greensboro, said. “Something is inherently wrong with that. If nobody wants to give him any blame for what happened (Wednesday), there’s something wrong with whoever thinks that also, that he didn’t have anything to do with that.”
