The latest take on the invasion of Congress is that we must find out how the pirates got past the police.

Except we already know the answer, right? It was because no one paid attention to the warnings on social media, and because the 鈥渒inder, gentler鈥� approach to policing falls apart when you have a riot. We learned all that over the summer!

It鈥檚 the wrong question.

 

The sticky thing about what happened Wednesday is not that the police weren鈥檛 ready. It鈥檚 that the mob was empowered by a sitting President of the United States, whose clear intention was to stop what was going on that very moment at the Capitol: the process of electing his replacement. It was . Google it.

And as for the Republicans calling out Democrats to admit their hypocrisy when it comes to which side they take when the thuggery breaks out鈥�

I agree. Schumer and Pelosi and Harris and Biden should stand together and declare 鈥� to the nation and the world 鈥� that violence is violence no matter who鈥檚 behind it. Because this is a pretty bright line that鈥檚 been crossed here, right?

And so, they should make it absolutely clear that the next time a Democratic president calls a rally to encourage a crowd to sabotage the electoral count and prevent his successor from assuming office, they will take immediate steps to have them removed. Unless they apologize or resign. Just as Republicans ought to be doing now.
