Frida Ghitis : Four years ago on Jan. 6 , rioters stormed Capitol , marauding and hunting for lawmakers.

She says the GOP has either downplayed the violence of that day or denied that it was anything more than “great patriots” or “a normal tourist visit” to the Capitol , Ghitis says.

She calls the gaslighting, the lying, just what it is..

Inauguration Day 2021 , Trump will be there, of course, with Biden and Kamala Harris looking on as he’s sworn in.

On this Jan. 20 , Pence will be absent, repudiated in favor of a vice presidential pick, JD Vance , more likely than Pence proved to be to put Trump above the Constitution .
