Should Trump Be Impeached Again?

  Last week I witnessed an attack on democracy. On January 6th, 2021, the devoted supporters of Trump had the brilliant idea of storming the capitol.

January 6th: Inside the capitol, the senators were validating the electoral college votes. Earlier in the day Trump announced that the election was stolen from him and he encouraged his supporters to "be strong" and march to the capitol to protest. His pawns dressed in a multitude of red and camo attire, surrounded the capitol waving American flags. The "patriotism" was visible for miles. But the protest turned violent as the mob entered the building. Windows were broken, police were assaulted, democracy was put on hold, and our capitol was defaced. 

Many people were at the capitol that day, getting their hands dirty and committing crimes. But only one person is to blame. Our very own President. Trump is the one who incited the crimes and violence on January 6th. 

January 6th: Before the protest, Trump addressed his supporters in front of the Capitol building. In the speech he announced that he would “never concede the election” and told his supporters to “fight like hell” against the “bad people.” The specific use of the words “bad people” fit the narrative that Trump has been assembling against the Democrats in the weeks preceding the attack. The narrative being that the Democratic party illegally stole the election from Trump.  

His words set the scene for his second impeachment. Trump has committed a crime against his country. Inciting violence against our very own Capitol. Trump deserves nothing more than to be impeached for a second time. He has embarrassed his country and caused chaos at the Capitol. 

*readers note*

Currently Trump has been impeached. He is the first ever president to be impeached twice.
