We’ve just witnessed perhaps the most shameful and shocking moment in American history as domestic terrorists stormed the U.S. Capitol, enabled by the delusions of President Trump, who egged them on with tales of a stolen election, saying, “We love you. You are very special.”Four people died during the insurrection, one shot by Capitol police, and three in medical emergencies. To every Republican leader in Nevada who has silently supported Trump’s madness these past four years, this is on you.
