Steny Hoyer: "For four years, Donald Trump has made no effort to hide his ambitions or his lacking of Republican principles ... his desire for autocracy and his glorification of violence have not been tempered, but rationalized ... Trump has constructed a glass palace of lies." pic.twitter.com/RYs5ognFyW

(THREAD) To understand the second impeachment of Donald Trump, we must understand the words that preceded and augmented his January 6 incitement of insurrection.

Translation: "We know that this is the right thing to do but we're too chickenshit to do it because we don't want to be the targets of the same kind of violence that we incited last week when we thought it would help us"

Yes, the two months of lying about the election had nothing to do with all these morons traveling to DC on 1/6. Just a laughably stupid defense. https://t.co/i3WEHgzy9s

Exactly when did Trump concede? When did he commit to a peaceful transfer of power? When did he admit that the election of Joe Biden was legitimate? Never, so Republicans in impeachment hearings must stop saying he did as an excuse to let Trump off. #ImpeachmentDay

The amazing thing about "it might have been antifa" is that Trump literally summoned these people to DC, spoke at their event, offered to walk them over to the Capitol and then praised them afterward.
