Statement on Trump After Mob Attack on Capitol
Jan. 7, 2021 - The People's Justice Council echoes the words of our friends at the Center for Biological Diversity:
The Center for Biological Diversity condemns the seditious, violent storming of the U.S. Capitol and the political leaders who fomented it and fed the fire with months of lies about Trump's election loss.
It's sickening but utterly predictable to see Trump's mob raise a Confederate flag in the Senate. Trump has aggressively weaponized racism from the beginning to end of his presidency.
Make no mistake: Trump will continue to try to overturn American democracy during the next 13 days — and beyond. The Center calls on all Trump cabinet members and White House staffers to resign immediately and for Congress to take emergency action to neutralize Trump's powers. Democracy demands nothing less.
Just as we stood up to put an end to this sedition, we now stand to ensure that Democracy stands.
Take a stand with us by donating or signing up for Arm in Arm. ~Rev. Michael Malcom
