Statement that reads in part, President Trumps popularity has never been stronger than it is today and his endorsement means more than perhaps any endorsement at any time. Three weeks and a day. Thats how little time it took for the party to rush back into the arms of the man who egged on the violent mob that descended on the capitol, smashed windows, beat Police Officers, bludgeoned one to death, while looking for lawmakers to capture or kill including the former Vice President. Five people died in the attack. At least two Police Officers have since died by suicide. Two weeks and a day, the house voted to impeach the expresident a second time. And the man who posed smiling today at maralago said this. The president bears responsibility for wednesdays attack on congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. These facts require immediate action by President Trump. Accept his share of responsibility, quell the brewing unrest, and ens

Three weeks and a day. Thats how little time it took for the party to rush back into the arms of the man who egged on the violent mob that descended on the capitol, smashed windows, beat Police Officers

Be made permanent and the speaker of the house is rather ominously warning that quote the enemy is within. The acting chief of the Capitol Police department recommended the fence remain around our Capitol Building indefinitely and that there be a Back Up Force always stationed nearby to respond to any such violence. This follows yesterdays warning from our own department of Homeland Security about the potential for attacks by those inspired by the assault three weeks ago now. And an attack even Donald Trumps former defense second said was fomented by the former president and all of it because of the big lie. A lot of members of congress have received threats to their lives while in washington. And back home in their districts. 32 members of congress have now asked House Leadership for more protection. We will probably need a supplemental for more security for members when the enemy is within the house of representatives. A threat that members are concerned about. In addition to what is
