These Coup-Staging Senators are a Disgrace | Robert Reich

Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich excoriates the 14 Republican senators who are refusing to certify Joe Biden’s victory.

The sedition of these 14 United States senators will not alter the outcome of the election. It is purely for show, as have been so much of Trump’s and his enablers’ actions. But the show itself will only serve to validate in the minds of many of Trump’s supporters his baseless claims – dividing America even more.

Rarely in American history has a symbolic act carried such significance for the future of the country. The rest of us should take careful note and do whatever we can to make sure these senators are not reelected.

Without Accountability, the Next Coup Will Succeed

Robert Reich

Jan 11, 2021

Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich explains why it’s imperative to hold accountable the people who incited and abetted the violent coup attempt.

Donald Trump’s culpability is beyond dispute. He should be impeached, convicted, and removed from office – immediately. And he should be barred from ever seeking office again. But the president is not the only person who must be held accountable for his role in sparking the violent insurrection. Trump’s accomplices on Capitol Hill, most notably Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, who spread Trump’s baseless allegations of voting fraud; social media giants Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube who amplified every one of Trump’s lies and hateful rants for years; and business leaders who enthusiastically bankrolled Trump’s re-election campaign — all are part of the ecosystem that led to Trump’s sedition, and all must answer for the part they played. Make no mistake: Unless all who participated in or abetted the attempted overthrow of the United States government are held accountable, it will happen again. Next time it may succeed.
