The gleeful desecration of the U.S. Capitol which is the temple of our American democracy and the violence targeting Congress are horrors that will forever stain our nation's history, instigated by the president of the United States. That is why it is such a stain. In calling for the seditious act, the president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and on our people.
