The actions of Donald Trump on Jan. 6 are incompatible with American democracy. Trump intentionally stirred his base to violence and is a threat to our national security. I am demanding, as an American citizen, a full investigation into the mob that stormed the Capitol. This mob planned this action ahead of time, on public forums. We can’t erase what Trump and his cohorts have done to the country but we can start healing by holding him responsible for his actions, and holding those that aided him responsible for theirs.
