There are, in fact, things that we can all agree upon. Unanimously. Or at least within a very VERY small margin of error. What led to the second impeachment of the former president is one of those things that doesn’t have two sides. #velshi

It may sound counterintuitive to be having a conversation but there are some issues that just don’t have two sides. Nobody is in favor of tornadoes, or cancer, or against pizza – maybe pineapple on pizza, but not pizza itself. #velshi

There are many who claim to be against the 2nd impeachment but, when you examine those claims, they are political, or maybe even constitutional when considering impeaching a president whose no longer in office. #velshi
On the specifics of what happened on January 6th, there’s no debate. Exactly 2 weeks before we inaugurated a duly elected president – a fact determined not just by 50 secretaries of state but by MORE than 50 courts of law - a violent mob ransacked Congress. #velshi
The mob attacked the building itself, and then members of the mob went in search of its occupants. A mob that, by admission of many who actually participated, & have since been arrested, was doing what it did because the former President motivated them to do it. #velshi
The murderous mob didn’t spontaneously appear. Nor did it randomly decide to enter the Capitol. There was a plan, or at least a lot of preparation, all of it fomented by years of attacks on facts & truth, ending with two months of election lies & hysteria. #velshi
If you doubt the former president’s total influence, consider this: according to the media-intelligence company Zignal Labs, in the days AFTER his ban from Twitter, disinformation about the 2020 election fell by 73%. #velshi
Words are powerful and a President’s words carry the power to move financial markets and start wars, so it’s not a surprise that so many were willing do what they did on that now infamous January day. #velshi
The charge is of inciting an insurrection is on video. The former president delivered a speech telling his supporters that he’d never give up, that election was stolen, & that his VP and Congress should reject march to The Capitol & “Fight Like Hell”. #velshi
