Jan. 6, 2021, must be considered a new day of infamy.
A sitting president who decisively lost the November election expressly encouraged protesters to come to Washington and — in an hourlong rant — exhorted them to march to the Capitol, where they stormed the building and congressional chambers, shutting down a constitutionally prescribed process and forcing legislators to evacuate for their safety.
This after trashing the vice president for “not having the courage” to violate his constitutional oath.
Law and order president? Hardly! Sworn to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution”? He has shredded that oath—not for the first time—but this is the most egregious.
