Donald Trump has opened the floodgates”to disorder and corruption“and must be held legally responsible for the attack on January 6, 2021, the chairman of the House Committee of Inquiry into the assault on the Capitol said Thursday.
Former Republican Presidenttried to destroy our democratic institutions“Bennie Thompson said during a primetime hearing, which wraps up a series of public presentations of his commission’s work.”He paved the way for disorder and corruption“, again asserted the elected Democrat who, sick with Covid, intervened by video link. For him, all those responsible for the attack, including at the White House will have to “answer for their actions in court“.
“There will have to be severe consequences, otherwise I fear that our democracy will not recover.“
