Only because these Traitor Republicans sought to overturn a free and fair election did this routine certification of the election take more than an hour, and was the excuse for Nazi Trump to incite perhaps 10,000 people, at least 2,000 of whom illegally invaded the US capitol building, threatening the lives of everyone inside.

Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-San Mateo) described the scene as follows:

"I was in the chamber and on the floor hiding from what was sure to be additional violence," said Speier. “She says she heard one gunshot. "These are acts of violence they should be prosecuted. I feel very strong that the President incited this violence and should be criminally charged," said Speier. "They were pounding on the doors of the chamber and they had barricaded with a piece of furniture and then they drew their guns. It was as if we were in a Banana Republic and not the United States of America," she continued.”

The democratically elected government of Venezuela, opposed by US Republicans and Democrats, issued a statement condemning the attempted coup on the part of the US Republican Party as being business as usual in the rest of the world on the part of the American government as follows:

“The Bolivarian Government of Venezuela has condemned the acts of violence that took place today in Washington D.C. and reminds that U.S. foreign policy consistently promotes these policies of aggression against legitimate democratic process worldwide.”

This latest Confederate coup attempt is described in photos and historical reference to the Wilmington Coup of 1898 at:

The lack of adequate preparation for this attempted coup rally, announced many weeks ago by Nazi Trump, and the acquiescence of the police to the rioters, is contrasted to the treatment of anti-fascist protesters, such as Mr. Puryear, as follows:

“I once participated in a sit-in at a Senators office demanding he speak out against the destruction of public housing in his home state. A Capitol Police officer threatened to mace me in the face at point blank range for “talking too loud.””

One of the traitor rioters who was killed by the few police defending the capitol was a San Diego woman, an Air Force veteran, Ashli Babbitt, age 35. See https://abc7news.com/woman-fatally-shot-in-us-capitol-was-from-san-diego/9426071/

It was obvious from the good physical condition and the reactionary politics of the traitor rioters that most of the crowd had some connection to the military or the police forces in this country. We should remember that the New York City police endorsed Nazi Trump and the military usually votes Republican.

The police in Sacramento, California at the protest of the coup on January 7, 2021, did not hesitate to pepper spray the anti-fascists. See https://abc7news.com/politics/clashes-during-trump-rally-in-sacramento/9425081/ “The tensions inevitably rose, arguing and skirmishes broke out. Proud Boys followed counter-protestors away, and at one point, police surrounded the anti-fascists and pepper sprayed them.”

Liberation News had this to say in its 1/6/21 statement:
“The heavily armed Capitol Police put up almost no resistance as the fascists pushed over barriers, smashed windows and invaded the chamber of the Senate. One woman was shot and killed inside the Capitol Building. But at the end of the mayhem, after they had accomplished their goal, the mob was calmly escorted out of the building instead of being arrested. If an action remotely like the pro-Trump mob’s dispersal of Congress had been attempted by anti-racist protesters this summer, for instance, they would have undoubtedly been met with deadly and overwhelming force. “

“Today’s events could not possibly have transpired without some level of cooperation between the fascists and the police. It is inconceivable that the police were not monitoring the communications of the pro-Trump protesters traveling to D.C. and that they were simply unaware that there was any possibility that an assault on the Capitol Building was being discussed.”

The capitalist world leaders who claimed shock over this scene clearly have not been paying attention to the disintegration of this country symbolized by Nazi Trump being illegally allowed to sit in office at all and the complete destruction of the economy by the refusal of the US ruling class through its government to provide sufficient housing, food, education and medical care to the workingclass, the 80% of us who make less than $80,000 a year, by taxing the rich, while the rich are richer than ever before and Democrats and Republicans together do not hesitate to give $740 billion to the military to murder the workers of the world to maximize the profits of the oil companies and the munitions makers, the only reason the military exists.
