At least 21 state and local Republican officials attended the Jan. 6 rally

[634-5789]

At least 21 state and local Republican officials attended the Jan. 6 rally in Washington, D.C., that turned into a violent riot, according to a new HuffPost tally, many of whom are now under pressure to resign.

They traveled from 16 different states, arriving for the “Stop the Steal” demonstration on the White House Ellipse, where they watched President Donald Trump tell incendiary lies about having been robbed of reelection. He then told the crowd of thousands to march on the Capitol.

In the crowd that day were 13 members of state Houses or Assemblies; three state senators; a county commissioner; a city council member; a GOP congressional district chair; a district director; and a co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party. The group also includes a QAnon conspiracy theorist; a self-described member of a fascist militia; and a man who once declared that “the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.”

3. They should be investigated as traitors.

That is what they are. Removed from office and convicted, if they participated in ANY CAPITAL ACTIVITY. There were barricades, if they passed then they became insurrectionists.

4. "Rally?" That was NOT a fucking "rally." It was a violent insurrection;

an attempt to overthrow our Govt., and to capture and kill select elected members of Congress that have been mindlessly vilified on radical media.

FIVE people were killed violently during the insurrection! Five!

Huffington Post called this an insurrection and a riot, NOT a "rally." Please change your title. It's not accurate.
