Too bad they didn’t arrest them at the Capitol.

At least 100 more people are expected to be charged for taking part in the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

In February, we reviewed more than 230 cases, with court documents revealing the first look at the roles and intentions of women during the insurrection.https://t.co/NUHZg0u1Qq

Many Republicans still believe the big election lie and lies about the riot

We’ll never have any unity in the US until the Trump cult accepts basic facts like Trump lost a fair election and that the insurrection was done by Trump supporters, not Antifa. We are now months after both events so I doubt their opinions will ever change. I fault Republican leaders for not doing more to get their voters to understand the truth.

The push for voter restriction laws are based on a lie told to appease Trump voters. Record number of the losing candidate's supporters have no confidence in the 2020 results because Trump lies. Any convo about what's going on should probably start there. https://t.co/UDUyAi4qbB
