What is America going to do from this point going forward? Donald Trump is holding Congress hostage. Like they believed Trump would view them as doing him a favor and protect them or that they never would be exposed for their inside job role in this. They risked it all because they were hoping for the MAGAs to succeed and for Trump to protect them with Pardons or some other legal protection had they been exposed after getting Trump in office for another 4 years. But, it wasn't successful and now they are scrambling to cover for themselves. Or that if they did get caught then Trump would cover for them or pardon them for helping him to successfully perform a coup by getting him in office for another 4 years. They thought that the MAGA terrorists were going to succeed at overthrowing the government with inside help and didn't think that they would be caught. They are getting worried about being exposed and now want to brush it under the rug since they could face legal or political punishment and consequences for their involvement.
And why he was so quick to insist that people not rush to judgement and why he tried to deflect the blame to Antifa. This is why Mo Brooks wanted to get ahead of what would be revealed in the media about Trump Supporters and Republicans violent involvement, planning or incitement in what happened. That is why they were talking about just healing and quickly moving on from what happened, because they know that some of them worked with the terrorists to overthrow the government in favor of Trump. These members of Congress and all the others who supported this attack on democracy should be expelled.This was an inside job and some Republican congressmen and politicians helped to stage and plan what happened on January 6th. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Mo Brooks (Ala.), and Paul A. Ali Alexander, the extremist organizer of the “Stop the Steal” rally even shared on a since-deleted video that he was assisted in organizing the rally by Reps. The help these members of Congress gave was material and essential to what happened. Sherrill did not name those representatives, but it could be any number of the extremist Congress members who have supported the lie that the election was stolen and voted against certifying Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election the same day the Capitol was stormed. Mikie Sherrill that some Republican members of congress abetted the insurrection and lead “reconnaissance tours” of supporters through the Capitol on the day before the attempted insurrection. Something went wrong here and it was done intentionally. Look at the failure of the Pentagon to send in National Guard troops quickly enough or even ahead of time. Look at the utter failure of the Capitol Police to do more than place a few flimsy barriers around the Capitol to prepare for what they were warned could be a violent event. This is just one more piece to add to the pile of mounting evidence some people who should have been working to protect members of Congress and our democracy may have been actively working to harm both. The immediate concern here is that for some reason Pressley’s office was targeted in advance to have her security protections disabled because of her high-profile opposition to Trump. In 2019, thanks to, again, incitement from President Trump via tweets, Pressley received death threats from his supporters. As the first Black woman in Massachusetts’ Congressional delegation, a member of “The Squad” and a vocal opponent of President Trump, Pressley is used to threats.
This is concerning and horrifying on every level. As they were escorted to several different secure locations, Groh and Pressley and her husband tried to remain calm and vigilant - not only of rioters but of officers they did not know or trust, she said. She had used them before and hadn’t switched offices since then. “Every panic button in my office had been torn out - the whole unit,” she said, though they could come up with no rationale as to why. Sarah Groh, chief of staff for Congresswoman Pressley, tells the Globe that when terrorists sent by President Trump attacked the Capitol and staff members barricaded themselves in Pressley’s office, the panic buttons that were usually in her office were gone. The latest report raising concerns comes from the office of Representative Ayanna Pressley and it is beyond horrifying.Īccording to reporting from the Boston Globe, not only was the day extremely frightening for Congress members and their staff, but things were also amiss in their offices that should have protected them. Questions about who knew what was going to happen and paved the way for domestic terrorists to storm Congress continue to arise.
As more details emerge about the attacks and insurrection at the US Capitol, what happened only becomes more terrifying.
