CORAL SPRINGS, FL – Two days ago, many of us witnessed an attempted coup when domestic terrorists, white supremacists, neo-nazis, and confederate sympathizers laid siege to the United States Capitol building.
What made this violent and treasonous act more disturbing is that both the House of Representatives and Senators were in their respective chambers carrying out their duties to certify the lawful election of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
Even more glaring, as someone who attended and helped organize racial protests this summer, was the lack of police presence as individuals destroyed, looted, and rioted in the Capitol building.
