responsibility for wednesday s attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolded. these facts required immediate action of president trump. he quelled the brewing unrest and ensure president-elect biden is able to successfully began his term. the greatest statesman understood the most dangerous threat to freedom is lawlessness. a young lawyer abraham lincoln famously said there is no grievance that s a fit object of readdress my mob law. they tried to interfere with the constitutional law. some say the riots were caused by antifa. there is absolutely no evidence of that. and conservatives should be the first to say so. that was one year ago today exactly as the house impeached donald trump for the second time. one of those two leaders standby her remark and the other is hiding from his. it s remarkable. the president bears direct responsibility. mob law tried to interfere with constitutional law. willie, we have
