Marc Thiessen: Trump Is Responsible For What Happened Today

RUSH EXCERPT:

THIESSEN: “So today was one of the darkest days in the history of Capitol Hill, but will also be considered one of the greatest. Here’s why. First of all darkest, the president of the United States invited a crowd to Washington incited them with lies about the election of being stolen, and then he sends them and named members of Congress of being weak and complicit in the steal, and send them down to the capital where they stormed the capital, attacked both chambers of Congress, and a woman was killed. And Donald Trump is responsible for what happened today. At the same time we are seeing the resilience of our democracy. We saw vice president Mike Pence in his role as president of the Senate push back and push the Constitution over as president. We saw Mitch McConnell deliver an impassioned speech about how he would not allow our democracy to going to decline by overturning the election, and now we are seeing, we just saw the images of the senators and members of Congress going back after the capital has been cleared to do their constitutional duties. So this is a dark day. And the images of what had happened, but it is also a great day showing the resilience of our democracy, because Congress has not been deterred by doing a job in meeting its constitutional responsibilities despite the rioters and the people who ascend them.”
