Reporter Sarah D. Wire’s first-person account of the U.S. Capitol riot had me reliving the terror, disbelief and disgust that many Americans experienced on Jan. 6, 2021.
I say “many” because — impossible as it sounds — a large number of this country’s citizens do not believe what took place was an actual coup-driven attack on the seat of our nation’s democracy.
Meanwhile, a few pages away in a photo appearing in the same day’s newspaper, there he sits, the man responsible, as if he were a normal politician and candidate running for president.
It is beyond comprehension that people can continue to ignore or dispute the events of Jan. 6, let alone support an insurrectionist for office
