Letters to the Editor Placing blame for the violence at the Capitol, Republicans’ accountability, calling out the lies, vaccine distribution
Readers say that many are to blame for the storming of the Capitol, call out Republicans for their divisiveness, claim the mobs were egged on by politicians’ lies and would like a better vaccine distribution system.
Blame list is long
As the nation searches for who is to blame for the shameful storming of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters, the list should include the many who brought events to this point.
People who ignored the red flags about President Donald Trump’s character and judgment, turning a deaf ear when Trump made derogatory remarks about women, mocked disabled people, egged on white supremacists and disparaged anyone who differed with him in crude terms unbecoming a national leader. This enabled him to ratchet up his inflammatory rhetoric.
