Dear Republican Party,
No, we will not be moving on. We reject your attempts to change the subject because we see them for what they are:
You're desperately trying to escape accountability for the role you played in #TrumpsInsurrection on Wednesday. // THREAD
As Thomas Paine said, “A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody.”
And until you take responsibility, we do not trust you to do the job you were elected to do.
Lest anyone think I am only talking to Republicans in Congress, I am not. I am also pointing my fingers at every Republican in state legislatures as well.
For 4+ years, you either actively pushed lies spewed by Trump and his allies, or stayed silent in the face of those lies, which perhaps you now realize allowed them to take root and spread.
Taking only the most recent lie as an example -- Trump pushing the lie that he won the Nov. election in a landslide -- you all helped him push that lie, and that took root in tens of millions of Americans, and radicalized many of them as you bore witness to on Wednesday.
