Dear John,

Today, extremist violence erupted at the U.S. Capitol Building.

As ADL has said again and again, extremists must be taken at their word. First there was volatile rhetoric online, then explicit calls to violence and now people are acting on those calls in the nation’s capital and flagrantly breaking the law. It must end now.

The President has promoted sedition and incited violence. People assaulting law enforcement officers or breaching government buildings must be arrested and held accountable.

More than anything, what is happening right now at the Capitol is a direct result of the fear and disinformation that has been spewed consistently from the Oval Office. President Trump failed to meaningfully call for an end to this violence and unrest that he has sowed. His campaign of disinformation is a clear and present danger to our democracy.

Social media companies should suspend his accounts ASAP as they would do for anyone else advocating disinformation and promoting violence. It’s time.

The extremist violence at the Capitol is undemocratic and a direct result of leaders, including President Trump enabling dangerous conspiracy theories at the highest levels. Those behind this attack on our democracy need to be held accountable.

This collection of dangerous protests is the latest major pro-Trump event in D.C. since the election on November 3. Some of the previous protests, including at the November 14 “Million MAGA March” in DC and at rallies on December 12, featured extremists in attendance and violence. Those included incidents in which black churches were vandalized, individuals were assaulted and a degree of chaos ensued. A range of extremist individuals and groups have promoted the events, and some have announced that they will attend, including white supremacist and antisemitic agitators.

We call on our political leaders, and all Americans, to condemn this criminal and undemocratic attack on the U.S. Capitol.
