This is a photo that Member of Congress Lauren Boebert posted on her Instagram page on Jan 5. This is the group she then took on a guided tour of the Capitol after this photo was taken. These people participated in the insurrection the following day. At least one has been charged https://t.co/Csk4IZkxhT
She gave them the directions to the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi.
She should be expelled from the house, and face felony charges that carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
One week after a mob spurred by his rhetoric stormed the Capitol in a violent attempt to overturn the presidential election results, President Trump on Wednesday issued a statement calling on Americans to “ease tensions and calm tempers.”
The statement, released by the White House, came a week before the inauguration of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. in Washington, and as security experts and law-enforcement officials have warned that a number of far-right groups have threatened demonstrations or attacks in the coming week.
“In lights of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind,” Mr. Trump said. “That is not what I stand for, and it is not what America stands for.”
The president’s statement, first provided to Fox News, was released as the House of Representatives was debating an article of impeachment that accuses Mr. Trump of “incitement of insurrection.” A final vote is expected Wednesday afternoon or evening, and Democrats appear to have enough support to vote to impeach Mr. Trump for a second time.
Mr. Trump has been heavily criticized for his role in inciting last week’s violence, in which a number of his supporters stormed the Capitol and threatened the lives of members of Congress and his vice president after the president spoke at a rally beforehand.
On Tuesday, his first time answering questions from reporters since the event, Mr. Trump showed no contrition or regret for instigating the mob, saying his comments to his supporters were “totally appropriate.”
On a business trip down South some years ago, I checked into the hotel and emailed my wife, who was back in New York. “When the GPS tells you to take Jefferson Davis Highway to Stonewall Jackson Boulevard and hang a left,” I wrote, “you know you’re a long way from home.”
Yes, the U.S. is a big country, and in some parts of it the defeat of the Confederacy is still a touchy subject, alas. Still, I’m inclined to believe that most Americans were appalled last week at the image of a man with a large Confederate battle flag strolling down the halls of the Capitol while a mob of Trump supporters were ransacking the place.
Since the 1960s, that flag has symbolized, among other things, opposition to civil rights for blacks. For many, it brings to mind white hoods, burning crosses and lynch mobs. In 2015, Justice Clarence Thomas, a product of the Jim Crow South, joined liberals to cast the deciding vote in a case that affirmed Texas’ refusal to print the Confederate flag on the state’s license plates. Yet its brandishing last week recalled what the flag originally stood for: insurrection.
Donald Trump encouraged his supporters to march to the Capitol and did little to stop them from interfering with Congress’s certification of Joe Biden’s victory. At the direction of the president, the executive branch of government tried to strong-arm the legislative branch. Even after the carnage that ensued, a large majority of Republicans in the House, including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, voted to do what the rioters demanded and challenge the election results. For shame.

The internet is open to everyone and every person.
You are creating a false allegation.
And ignored the Insurrection incited by the President.
This post is proof that you are incorrect.
We must keep everything locked down to save lives, right?

This time the impeachment is legitimate.

Never was in debate either.
