Jan. 6, 2021, is a day that will live in infamy in America. It will never be forgotten, any more than the 2,977 deaths on 9/11 will be forgotten.
But in this case it was not foreign terrorists who attacked us but domestic ones a mob of Americans in bright-red MAGA hats, “6 Million Wasn’t Enough” and “Camp Auschwitz” shirts, storming Capitol Hill in an attempted takeover of the legislative branch of our government.
Determined to keep their leader in power, the mob came prepared for battle. Some wore military-style assault gear. One man was photographed carrying plastic zip ties in his coat pocket, apparently hoping hostages would be taken and dragged outside for a show trial or perhaps summary execution before a red-hatted firing squad.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that the city will be severing all contracts with the Trump Organization following the Jan. 6 siege at the Capitol.
