Democrats’ Impeachment Articles Show They Are At Least As Guilty Of ‘Insurrection’ As Trump

After the Jan. 6 Capitol unrest, House Democrats wasted no time in concocting grounds for another impeachment against Donald Trump, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wearing the same outfit to commemorate the occasion.

For a charge of "Incitement of Insurrection," Democrats demand that Trump be deemed "a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution" and removed from office for having "Endangered the security of the United States threatened the integrity of the democratic system interfered with the peaceful transition of power" and "Imperiled a coequal branch of Government." Strong stuff.

If Pelosi truly wishes to help in "Protecting our Constitution and our Democracy," then should we expect a condemnation of House members who, by use of their congressional powers, supported the attempt to remove Trump from office via false allegations? Should their years of interference with the peaceful transition of power to the Trump administration, and its duties as a coequal branch of government, be written up in articles of impeachment? And should any House leaders involved recuse themselves to ensure impartiality, including the speaker? With precedent established, we know that the urgency of the matter must dictate the process.

The president told the amassed crowd that they were "Gathered together in our nation's Capitol for one very, very basic and simple reason, to save our democracy," and that after the rally "We're going walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators, and congressmen and women." He explained their purpose by saying, "We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard".

So we're going to, we're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we're going to the Capitol and we're going to try and give The Democrats are hopeless.

We're going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don't need any of our help, we're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.

Democrats would have joined Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in supporting the impeachment of President Biden on Jan. 21.
