As the horrid details of January 6, 2021, come into clear view, there is one thing we should all know for certain: These White domestic terrorists did not act alone. They were aided and abetted by an entire political party steeped in White supremacy and utter contempt for the Constitution of the United States. What else can be said of a party that has made it their sole mission over the last few months to disregard the results of an election because historic numbers of Black people voted? What else can be said about the 60 court cases introduced by the president of the United States as a way of silencing Black voters and nullifying the votes of millions of people?
Ten Republicans crossed the House floor to impeach the US President over the Capitol riot. Joe Biden says he hopes the Senate can juggle the trial and other urgent business.
