As with so many other things we’ve been witnessing since the U.S. Capitol was assaulted by a right-wing mob last week the condemnations issued by many conservatives of Donald Trump and the muting of Trump’s lies by social media companies, just to name two it’s tragic that it took so long for so many people who should have known better to finally wake up and smell the coffee.
That said, it does appear that a growing number of actors who’ve been silent about (or complicit in) Trump’s countless crimes and misdeeds are now rousing themselves to take action.

Two things occurred to our editorial team as we watched things spin out of control at the Capitol yesterday afternoon: First, we knew this would be one of those few-in-a-lifetime days that we remember because of its uniqueness and its gravity â a day like 9/11 or the day of the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion. And second, we wondered whether those Central American refugees amassing at our southern border would scratch their heads, turn around, and head back home.
Admittedly, a third thing also occurred to us: What a mess our country seems to be right now.
Searching for some honor and decency amid the rubble that was January 6, 2021, we came across these simple words from Vice President Mike Pence: âItâs my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not.â

A Sinclair report gave pro-Trump insurrectionists a pass by broadcasting a lie that far-left infiltrators attacked the Capitol.
The claim by James Rosen aired on at least 14 Sinclair-owned or -operated stations in at least 18 states.https://t.co/IRmJFMqVBM Media Matters (@mmfa) January 7, 2021
It’s not like these Q-anon cracker bozos are listening to NPR and just coming up with different conclusions than normal people.
They are living in a different world.
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove: As an investigative reporter, you’ve written a book that takes readers into the heart of the institutional network that connects the Religious Right to the NRA, the Federalist Society, right-wing media, and the Republican Party.
