Leaving Trump in office now will just encourage white nationalists
Among the Capitol mob were neo-Nazis, Proud Boys and other members of the militant right - people who have dedicated themselves to provoking race war and to the violent overthrow of the country.
The stories from Wednesday should shake us: Members of Congress escaping the House and Senate floors moments before a mob broke through, barricading themselves in their offices or undisclosed locations for hours.
Four people who stormed the building and one member of the Capitol Police department died. We are astonished that more lives weren't lost: Had the pipe bombs detonated, had the molotov cocktails ignited, had the people who stormed the Capitol with heavy-grade zip ties in hand and a military-grade weapon encountered legislators they might have meant to abduct, the body count would have been much higher.
