John,
The events of the past week have been unprecedented.
I’m sure that you, like me, are still processing the gravity of
what happened. It was an attack by the Executive on the
legislative branch. One branch of our government physically
attacking another branch of American government is inconceivable.
But it has happened. It can’t be business as usual in our
country. In the words of American patriot Patrick Henry, “Now is
the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country."
I wish I could say the events of this week were a
surprise, but the truth is that I and other Democrats have been
warning about the danger President Trump posed for years.
Two years ago I said: “Our democracy, tetters on the
brink of failure. The lofty ideals of freedom and liberty that
America was founded on has been overtaken by a vigorous
resurgence of bigotry, hate, cruelty, and ignorance. Chaos and
confusion rule the day, while lies and deception flourish, as
complicit leaders stand silent — protecting their own power and
privilege rather than fulfilling their oaths to defend the
constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. A
powerful domestic energy has emerged from the deep shadows of
America [...] where Americans elected an authoritarian,
anti-immigrant, racist, strongman to the nation’s highest
office.”
I was criticized for this speech,
John. But on Wednesday, chaos and
confusion did indeed rule the day as Donald Trump unleashed his
mob onto the US Capitol, telling them to “be wild.” He refused to
condemn their actions, saying he “loved them” and that their
actions were “what happens” when he loses an election.
They stormed the US Capitol, many with firearms, or
massive zip ties for no obvious purpose other than taking
hostages. They erected a gallows on the grounds, and the
President is said to have watched it all with glee on cable TV.
Enough is enough, John. I voted to impeach Donald Trump last year because I
knew he was a danger to our country. Now he has proven, yet
again, that he is a danger to our country. Five people lay dead
from his mob, including a police officer who was defending the
Capitol from Trump’s lawless mob.
I intend to vote for his impeachment and am helping
to lead the impeachment effort. I will also fight to ensure all
those involved in this sordid day are held accountable. If you
stand with me, will you sign my petition demanding the urgent
removal of Donald Trump?
