Capitol attackCREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
•65% Informative
Donald Trump is continuing his attempt to rewrite the history of that day and cast blame for the violence on anyone but himself.
CREW: Every decision-making body to substantively consider the question has found that January 6th was an insurrection incited by Donald Trump , including in the Colorado 14th Amendment lawsuit brought by CREW .
As Trump continues to spread lies about the insurrection, it’s more important than ever that Congress and others take steps to ensure that such an attack cannot happen again.
Trump has repeatedly pushed that he took all necessary steps to secure the Capitol ahead of January 6th , and that law enforcement lost control because anti-Trump politicians turned down his support.
Trump has also claimed that congressional leadership delayed the response to the attack on purpose, to hurt Trump politically.
Congress should pass the Protect Our Democracy Act (PODA) which would curb abuses of power by presidents of both parties.
PODA passed in the House on a bipartisan basis in December 2021 , but most of the bill was never taken up by the Senate .
As it stands, the Insurrection Act is ripe for abuse, and could be used by the president to deploy the military domestically against real or perceived enemies.
