Democrats Need to Follow Lead of This 84-Year-Old Congressman and Call for Trump to Be Criminally Prosecuted

If a Democratic president did exactly what Donald Trump did after losing re-election — from radicalizing his supporters with lies of “election fraud” to calling them to the Capitol on January 6 then urging them to “Stop the Steal” which led to an “act of domestic terrorism” as the FBI has classified Jan. 6 — is there any doubt that Republican members of Congress would be screaming daily for that former president to be criminally prosecuted?!

Republicans haven't read it, either. - Middle Age Riot
