Today only two Republican Members of Congress voted for the resolution to establish a committee to investigate the events of January 6. We have never seen anything like this in American history since the days that white vigilantes defeated the Reconstruction governments, installing all white government in the south for 90 years.
The rage, the self-righteousness of this mob, in face to face fights with thinly staffed Capitol police, tells us that we are in grave danger.
The Times video investigation team has done an impressive job of conveying the scale and seriousness of the January 6 insurrectionary attack. They sought to block the peaceful transfer of power to a President who won an election which is legally - constitutionally - skewed in favor of the small and often thinly populated states. - GWC
