Yesterday afternoon at the U.S. Capitol, the dangerous recklessness of those who have enabled Donald Trump turned physically destructive and literally deadly. And our President’s unhinged nature - taunting the mob, heedless of his own sworn duties - became fully and monstrously visible for all the world to see.
Trump must leave now. He should be ushered out of office, immediately. Waiting until January 20 is to wait dangerously too long. Surely the people with the statutory authority to invoke the 25th Amendment must see that reality now.
Most Americans are horrified by the madness that came into full and sharp focus through the afternoon. We are objectively sickened by it. We are worried this morning what any more of that might do to our civil order and public safety.
All those surreal scenes of the outlaw mob yesterday - the vandalism and guns, the defiance and destruction - validated this dread.
