We have stopped the coup attempt and will be returning to the Capitol today to finish the business of the people. We will never back down, we will return.

I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment.
— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) January 6, 2021
Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate.
We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.

That is the real outrage. McConnell and the rest of the senior leadership own this as much (or in some ways more) than Trump. Every time they denied a judge a hearing and a vote, they fed the base the story that no Democrat could ever have legitimate power. Every time they glided over the dog whistle racism, looked the other way, pandered to the worst, they fed the fire that was in evidence today.
