Dallas-area community leader Shenita Cleveland got a call Wednesday from a friend telling her to turn on the news. President Donald Trump was encouraging people to go to the U.S. Capitol to protest what he baselessly said was massive election fraud.
When the pro-Trump mob bum-rushed the Capitol barricades, meeting little to no resistance from police, she thought back to the markedly different response she faced in Dallas during a protest following the May 25 killing of George Floyd.
